In case some of you are curious about MPG...

2002 P650 - 18 MPG
Covered about 100 miles on Pauite trail in Utah. Avg speed range was 15~25 mph, 70% in 2WD & 30% in 4WD, and some riding on streets (yes, legally) to go to restaurants and hotel. Rejetted for ~5000 ft elevation.

2004 P700 - 16 MPG
On steep/rocky Los Padres mountains in Ca, ~6000 ft elevation. 50/50 in 2/4WD. Avg speed was 10~20 mph. Factory original jetting.

2005 BF750 - 12 MPG
Moderate to few steep hills in Gorman, CA, ~3000 ft elevation. Mostly in 2WD, some rocky, sand, dried creek/wash, and mostly flat dirt trails. Avg speed was 30~40 mph. Front carb needle jet was changed to one size up.

All stock quads with no mods or aftermarket parts, except the winch on 700 and 750. Using heavier rim/tires would definitely hurt the mpg, and the heavier thumb, too. My numbers may sound higher than some of you. That's because I ride like an old man...

 

Seems close to me. Comparing my two machines..........I put 80 miles on the p650 before it starts to get low and the brute I get about 50 miles before the bar is blinking. Still better than any polaris I've seen.....except maybe the 500HO.

 

Roofer, Hayashi, i agree those #'s sound about right. those are the #'s i get with my brute(though i can get just over 20 more miles while flashing) and thats what my brother gets on his p650. Roofer i also agree with the ps500HO, my friend use to go pretty far between fill ups.

 

I ran mine dry at 78 miles on the Piaute trail last summer. This is with the tank all the way full and the white tube removed during fueling. I hit 70 miles between fill ups a couple of other times.

 

just biught an 07 bf750, and havent ran it dry yet. what kinda fuel level warning does the machine have? since there is no reserve fuel..

 

When the very bottom LCD fuel segment starts to flash (there are total 7 segments), you have about 3.5 qts of gas left in the tank. But I'm not sure how much of the 3.5 qts is "actually" usable.

 

60% 2wdH/10% 4wdL/30% 4wdH my '05BF750 avg 16.5mpg with elevation from 6500-10,000ft.
Worse was 10.5mpg all 4wdL & at the 12,000ft range in Colorado on one very Sunny Summer Day.
My '07BF750 with just a low 30 miles on it is getting 15, it should get better after more miles are put on.
A P650 in our group gets 18.5mpg.
Pulling the White Tube out during fill-ups does allow the gas tank to fill all the way up & you know that you do have all 5.4 gallons of gas in the tank.
