Modern Vespa

Hi from New Zealand

We pay about $US1 for a Litre of fuel how does this compare to what people are paying in New York? I get 28Km/Ltr is this common fuel consumption for a Piaggio 125cc??

Superfly - New Zealand

I get about 80mpg with my PX200 and about 86mpg with my GTV-- Graham -- Wales

I think my GT200 gets about 50mpg realistically and my ET4 gets about 45 or so

Anywhere from 60-65 on my gtv

I'm getting 75 MGP on my LXV150 but I'm still under six hundred miles so I expect this to improve slightly after breakin is complete.

About 80mpg around the town on my GTS

250 MP3 with 1200 miles on it, I get a constant 65 MPG. But I use premium gas with no ethanol.

1st tank ... 69MPG on my GTV250

About 60 on my et4

Between 11.5 and 14.5 miles per litre on my Fuoco...

(lovely mix of units on this thread, it'll be furlongs per firkin soon. )

low of 71 mpg, high of 79 mpg.

I pay around $4.10 per gallon which is 3.7854 liters

If I would take it easy a bit 100 mpg !!!

MPG Everyone? (Post 377023)

You betray yourself, Jim my friend. A firkin is nine gallons (imperial) of beer!

No, no......you all have it wrong. The OP question was how many miles to the GAL do we get. Well, I don't know how many miles I have driven in the past but I am on my second GAL in 44 years.

I don't think they like being called 'Gal'

Women, ladies, girls.....

Except for that one......SAL.

Its like 1.60US$ a liter! 6US$ a gal. If you're getting gas that cheap in NZ do share.

When I foirst filled my GTS I was getting 75 mpg imperial nad on the last fill up this had increased to 94 mpg. Needless to say I am more than happy with that

Me too. Since my ET4 was kitted, I get a consistent 48-50 mpg. Before it was kitted, I only checked milage a couple times and it was 60 give or take. The kit dropped milage about 10mpg... But added terrific torque, so worth it.

Waiting for the Super 300 to come to town! More speed, more torque, better fuel mileage, what else could one ask for?

67 mpg on my first full tank on my S 150. All in town with mixed speeds below 50 mph and lots of stoplights.

I'm feeling short-changed. So far, I'm only getting around 58-59 mpg. Granted, I'm just under 200 miles on the scooter, but I wouldn't expect the gas mileage to jump considerably after the break-in period. My driving is strictly in the city, going 30-40 mph tops with traffic, and several stop signs or traffic signals on each trip.

I only have 476 miles on my 2008 GTS 250. I just figured my mileage yesterday when I filled up and I am currently getting 64 mpg with lots of stop and go city riding - usually between 35 and 40 mph. I am a bigger size guy (it is tough to be this good looking, old and a big guy too you know ) which will have some affect on mileage too. I hope it gets a bit higher.

Consistent 50 mpg with 2007 GT200.

I got 60.16 mpg on my last tank judging by today's fill up. GTS250, JCosta variator, LV exhaust, Motorsport Powerbooster, 230lb rider. I don't find my mileage changes much whether I'm driving in the city or on the highway. When the GTS was stock I was averaging 64.5 mpg.

70+ mpg ... '05 ET4.

2006 GT200 with Leo Vince xhaust. I drive real fast and hard and weigh 190. I have a top case, but no windshield. It's seriously windy here for 1/2 (afternoon) of all my miles.

I keep a spreadsheet with all data and have a lifetime ave of 59.3 Miles per gallon. 3500 miles total so far. I typically drive at 65 or 70 mph.

I use Chevron Premium and keep tires at 32 psi.

Of course as someone pointed out there are differences between Uk and USallons i.e 1MPG US =1.2Uk or !Km/Litre =2.82MPG UK. Just discovered that the US has dry gallons as well as liquid ones!! Where do you buy dry petrol?? Graham

about 55mpg, i ride like my hair's on fire.


i ride flat out all the time.......

its running like crap at the moment, she needs new rings and a piston.

Curious, how many miles on your scoot that it needs a top end job?

haha , ya I was thinking the same .

liter v gallon , not quite the same is it

My wife's GTS 250 about 83MPG
My BV500 about 71MPG (as long as I keep my "enthuiasm" in check a bit)

My new GT 200 seems to be running just a tad under 70 miles per $4.32 gallon. I'm hoping it'll top 70 mpg once it's broken in a bit and I get over the rush of blowing off the four-wheelers at every green light.

The Imperial gallon used to confuse these conversations. It was the equivalent of 1.2 US gallons. We used to think the English got fantastic mileage. Doh!

There used to be different gallon measures depending on what was in the jug. There was a corn gallon, which was about 4.4 liters; the wine gallon, or "Queen Anne's gallon", which was only 3.8 liters; and the ale gallon, which measured 4.62 liters.

Easy to see what ye olde weights and measures guys used to drink.

Haven't quite got mine figured out yet.. but I'm hoping to AT LEAST get

4675.43 furlongs/firkin.

(Thats the 1824 official beer/ale firkin that is)

70 - 75 mpg on an LX150 (or 32 km per liter or 6,485 furlongs per firkin). I rarely get over 50mph on my Vespa and tend to not gun the engine.

BTW in Google you can type in "X miles per gallon in furlongs per firkin" and it figures it out for you.

Interesting... There are three posts about GT200s that say that figure...
But I just recently checked the mileage on my 2007 GT200 and it figured out to an honest 66.5 MPG's! (And the scoot's only got 850 miles on it. Supposedly it will do better after it breaks in more...)

Could this discrepancy simply be because I ride moderately on the throttle, and perhaps these others do not?

I also use a medium height windshield, no topbox, and weigh 225 lbs.. 8)
