[QUOTE="mox69, post: 1206273, member: 76391"] 4 wheeler speedometers aren't known for their accuracy. If you have a GPS use that to see how accurate the speedometer actually is. Roughly speaking you got about 64 miles to a gallon (actually 71, but I'm rounding down) or you used 2 ounces of gas for every 1 mile. or you used 1 ounce of gas for every 2640 feet. or you used 1 teaspoon of gas every 440 feet. or you used 1 milliliter of gas every 90 feet. 1 rear tire rotation will take you about 5 feet. Or from the another point of view. Lets say you averaged 30 mph for the day. That means it took 5 hours to travel that 150 miles. Lets say you were super efficient and kept the bike in the final gear. For arguments sake lets say you kept it at 2000RPM's the whole time. This would equate to 600,000 revolutions for the whole day. (Realistically 30mph in 6th gear is around 5000rpms ) This means you used 1 milliliter of gas for every 75 combustions. Or you used 1 ml of gas every 2.2 seconds. **1 ml is about how much your average eye dropper holds.** I know my numbers aren't exact, but they are ballpark. Is there any possible way an engine can be this efficient? EDIT: I thought you said you went 150 miles on 1 tank, I see now you said 85, so cut everything I said up there in half :) [/QUOTE]
