Rowe, is that 50 miles up hill all the way in two feet of mud? [img][/img] I get about 100 miles per tank with a 500 EFI. You should get around 90 with a carb.</end quote></div>

I'v got 125 miles from my 08 carb but thats mostly road cruising taking it easy , were allowed to ride the roads in my area [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

My gauge is the same way. I think it is more of a function of the shape of the tank. The tank is like an upside down ice cream cone. Large at the top and small at the bottom.

I've been caught a couple times atving when I've been at less than &lt;0.2 gallons left. I now carry a gas can b/c we never know how hard I'm gonna ride on any given day [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Wow! The only time I got 125 miles was on an older 500 with a 5.25 gallon tank. I think I was at 123 when I had to switch to reserve. When I was playing hard maybe it was only 75 on the H.O. and 100 on an older non-H.O. There are lots of variables so as they say, YMMV, your mileage may vary. So far EFI is doing better than carb for me.

 

wow i get like 50 out of a full tank..04.5 sportsman 400 "lifted and gifted"

 

Either you ride REALLY hard or it takes a lot to turn those big-a$$ tires.

 

both.. i ride hard as hell,the flat hard stuff aint no fun.. and the tires cut my milage in 1/2..but even stock i only got like 65 out of a tank.. oh well

 

My gas guage has never worked on my '07 500. I took it to my dealer and the mechanic told me it would work when the gas got farther down. Well, I rode and rode one day and finally ran out of gas, and the guage still showed full. I emailed polaris and they never would email me back. I couldn't get in touch with anyone, and now the machine is out of warranty.

I was going to buy another polaris, but after the company wouldn't even email me back I went out and bought a yamaha which I don't like, but sure wasn't going to support someone who cares as little as these people do about their machines.

 

I wrote 30 miles the other day in varying conditions. I filled it up before we went today and it took 1.5 gallons. I think they do very well on mileage if you don't hot rod them.
