The 850 gets a little better than the 800 did.

Like Wolf said, the 850 is better. It is a fairly noticable difference. Without looking at my notes the best I can remember I got 1.2 hours per gallon on the 800 and about 1.7 on the 850...same riding style and area.
I do alot of slow trails in low range,so I look at hours per gallon more than miles per gallon.

HIGHOCTANE is good to know about your style of ridding.....on summer I did a lot of slow pace technical trail...but on winter i did 35-40 miles hours pace...

Since I put that pipe on, I'm getting about 16 miles per gallon. I think thats pretty good. I was at about 13 or so before. If polaris would have actually put a quad gas tank on the 800 instead of a weedeaters...I could get some range out of it.
