No joke ... I calculate my MPG every week when I fill up and last week I got 79.42 mpg for five straight days of work commute AND a Saturday ride up 35 to John Daly.
How's your weekly mpg looking?

90 MPG on a Bajaj Chetak year in year out. 150 cc 4 speed shifter. A petiet lady I know used to get 104 on her Chetak when she "rode politely" as she put it. ...R

I keep getting closer and closer to 85 on my S 150. My last calculation was 83.9 for a week of riding. I ride about 60 miles plus a day on my commute to work (the round trip). This week with the gas prices around 2.30 here on average, I have spent $13 on gas compared to my truck which would still have cost me about $10 each day.

I'm averaging right at 50.2 in the last two fillups, with much stop and go and 2100 miles on the scoot. It keeps getting better--a month ago it was 47.2. But heck, it may not be the best mileage, but it's sure a lot more fun than driving the car!

I calculate at every fill up as well. My worst ever was 74 and my best ever was 80. The vast majority have been 75-76. Not much variation for me.

Best: 78
Average 65 Worst, fast road trips 47.... I had a GT200 with some 'work' done to it that got an amazing 33mpg on a fast run into the wind....glad I sold that bike....But she was lovely, and ran great. A friend reported getting 90 on single gallon of gas riding a GTS. Kept it around 45 with a few little hills. Reliable report to. I could save a ton of gas If only I could ride more conservatively. Thats tough for me sometimes.... R 8) |

Average 69.5 per Fuelly.com (could use some more Vespa riders there).
My best was 75.6. I had one fill up that I don't think was right, so my average may be a little under, but I can't fight it. Dee |

My GTS totally varies depending on how I ride. I'd say 74 on average.
My BV seems to suck. I'm only at about 400 miles and she seems to Guzzle rather than sip...like 60 miles per gallon! Is that normal? Shes a 07 BV 500 I ride about 80 miles a day 60 of it highway at about 65 mph and 20 of it stop and go errands. |
