In the summer i got about 70 miles a tank on my 800. Now that im plowing im good for about 40 miles.

 

time for everyone to buy a moped for there gas milage lol.winter kills the milage of everything burning fuel for sure.

 

Would be nice to have a 6 gallon tank like the cats. That 4 gallon tank on our po-pos really hampers our riding with our buds who drive other brands. I still can't complain of the milage I got with stock tires on all of my polaris machines. Now with aftermarket tires, that a whole different question.

i'm only getting about 45 miles on a tank of gas,i have a 500 efi 2008, with about 200 miles,i live in wv. i know i use a little while it's warming up,but that don't seem like it's all that good,i had a 2000 500 and got between 70 and 90 miles, winter less summer more,i was wondering what you all were getting..........</end quote></div>

i guess i'm really disapointed in the efi system as a whole,because they boast about improved gas mileage,and better throtle response, and the only benefit i see is if you went from 2,000' to 8,000' in altitude,your machine would still run ok, in my oppinion,it's just something else to go wrong,that would be expensive to replace, i think the carbs done alot better...............

 

efi starts alot better as well.

 

08 brute force 750; with Mud Lite tires, im getting around 40 - 55 miles per tank (but this is with 93 octane gas) I was getting less mileage with 87
....id probabaly get much better mileage with the stock tires

 

My 06 500EFi gets between 45-55 miles per tank but that is always riding in low ( below 10-12mph) on logging roads going to deer stand , no mud just rough, milage &%$#& but man what a ride!!!!

 

Hey wayout, I figure the 500HO in the ATP gets about 18-20 mpg at about 20mph or so. It gets about 15-16 with a lot of low range stuff thrown into the mix. My X2 with the 500 EFI gets about 20-22 at about 20 mph, and about 17 or so with rough, low range riding thrown into the mix.

 

Next time I get around to it, I'm going to calculate gallons per hour for snowplowing. LOL!!

 

I have a '08 500 X2 but have used it mostly for plowing snow so I can't get a good reading on my fuel efficiency.

WAYOUT,
My X2 has a 6 gal fuel tank. Your '00 SP500 had a 5 gal tank and your new one only has a dissapointing 4 gal. Not a good job on Polaris's part imo.
