Yes, go to The pure polaris online store section of www.polarisindustries.com and in the top left corner there is a search box, Type in fuel gauge and it will show it to you.

Just set the trip meter at zero after a fill up and you know you are getting low on gas at about a 100 miles.

I usually fill up at 80-90 miles just to be safe have never had to use reseve , the most I have dared to go is 109 miles and did not use reserve. 15-22 mpg depending on how it is driven.

How do you guys get such good mileage? I have 500 miles on my 500HO and only get about 60 miles before reserve. Will it get better? I am running a 152.5 jet at this time.

Are these guages any good? Or do they get all crappy and noisy like the ones on my riding lawn mower?

That works out to less than 12 mpg with the SP's large 5 something gas tank. Even the guys with the Rubicons say they can get 70 miles out of that machine even with it's puny gas tank. I know you have heavier wheels but it should do better than that for milage.
