i just read this thread for the first time. i didn't realize the 800 was so hard on fuel. my 700EFI compares very closely to a 500. i'm very pleased with the power PLUS economy.
thinking about buying 27" Outlaws. kinda wonder what impact those will have on gas! LOL!!

Well I can answer that question for you with a quickness. Our quads use a very ineffecient belt drive system for our tranmissions. I would hazard to guess that if we dumped the belt drive and went with a manual tranny and clutch setup we would almost double our fuel economy.
Another point is power costs in fuel. The more power you use/want the more fuel your going to burn.

Why does a ATV get such poor MPG when a car lets say the toyota echo which is a 4cyl and it gets 60MPG and has to haul more weight and has more power and a 800 twin Sportsman or any big ATv for that matter gets such poor MPG . I mean come on I know there is a diff in terrian but really when you think about it does not make alot of sense at least to me. The ATV manufactures must have a deal with the big oil companys. I know some are gonna say terrian has lot to do with it but put them both on a dirt road travelling the same speed.
Dont get me wrong I would still enjoy ATVing at 5mpg but there must be technology out there maybe that is what they should be focused on first.
Sorry for ranting I just felt the need to express my thoughts thanx for listening

I don't see hardly any fuel economy difference between my 500HO Scrambler and our '02 SP700.
