What kind of mileage can u get out of a full tank of gas trail riding?

I'm averageing 15MPG ('08 750 BF).

i'm averaging between 14 and 17 i believe

which kind of sucks, since i got over 20 on my polaris 700, not as high on my 800

one of the guys on the forum on his griz 700 was getting around 24 on their trip a couple of weekends ago, they drove 100 miles to get to their destination each way

I have a buddy with an 08 Brute ...who gets around 18 or 19 mpg...the same as my CA.....

one of the guys here with his new CA Max Xt doesn't get under 22...its an 08, but he doesn't ride with the throttle pinned like me all the time

Usually I could care less about fuel consumption but yesterday things fell just right, I did keep track and this is how it went. 76 miles@3.369 gallons = 22.558622 mpg. Details: Primitive forestservice roads, elevation 3600 to 7450ft., speed not much over 45, but as fast as conditions allowed, me and Maggie the mutt. Will admit I'm no racer, and no mudder, but I happy!!

I will have to keep track of fuel mileage this coming weekend when we head up to Black River Falls WI to hit the trails for a couple of days. I will report back.

That is the only draw back for me is low fuel economy. In Colorado I cut a few rides short cause the 2.5 gal I carried was not enough reserve for two days. I was burning near two tanks a day at the dunes last weekend. I say 12-14 trailing.

My mpg were 14.5 riding easy or hard. Not to shabby.
