My fuel economy increased around 1/3 from my first tank to now with 350 miles. It's hard to say how many miles you get from a tank due to different terrain. I ride in new england and trails here are both slow and technical where you could be climbing up a mountain you probably couldn't walk up and high speed fire roads so I won't get the milage you get in georgia but I could probably get around 45 miles on average

65 chevelle, The 27 inch mudlites are probably the culprit, I have an 04 powerstroke (455 hp and 900lbs torque) put 8 inch lift with 38s on it and lost 5.5 mpg. I would think a quad with less hp would see a big loss in economy as well. Also the first tank is one I wouldnt pay any attention to. Another thing to consider is your actually going farther than you odometer says since you have larger tires you get farther with each rotation.
