1330 actual Miles per Gallon
New to the 1330 motor so I was wondering what actual MPG do owners of the 1330 get I have a 2017 RT Limited and gassed up this morning full tank and did a 160 mile round trip on refilling I put in 5 Gallons ....so that would be 32 MPG The gauge was on the top of the reserve mark not quite into the reserve marking. My question is does the tank hold 6.9 gallons ???? as per the operators guide, and if it does would I have been able to squeeze in another 1.9 gallons. I was told that I could get 240 miles to a tank that would work out to be 34.78 MPG ...not a problem. So how many miles do I set my Garmin to start to warn me my gas is low on my 2012 I set it at 120 miles and managed quite often to go to 135 miles before filling up. Only managing 160 miles today would I have managed to get to 200 miles running into the reserve which I do not like doing but would like to know if its possible.
So here is the question to all 1330 RT owners ...how many miles have YOU got on a tank what is the best you have achieved and at what miles do you set your warning of low gas on your Garmin.
WELLLLLLL NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT

Does pulling in the dregs of the tank concern you? Guess if you have enough tequila to make it a recurring problem, then we outta talk this offline :joke: ....... "dregs " ?? ... I do have a filter, I don't do this on a regular basis, it's the shape of the bottle, not what's in it :roflblack:
Do Spyders have a reserve switch on them?
..... No, but I wish it did ...... Mike :thumbup:
Like UtahPete says, It depends on how and where you ryde
From Pete "Consensus I think is; yes, it holds 6.9 gallons, 240 miles per tank before hitting reserve is realistic; depending on load, headwinds, road conditions, speed, 40mpg or more is achievable. You'll just have to experiment with it, keep good records and find out what works for you where you are and the way you drive."
44,000 miles on the wife's 15 RT-S and 33,000 miles on my base 15RT here in the West, but mostly on secondary routes at 65 MPH we get close to 40 mpg but almost never put more than 6 gals per fillup. That means we usually refill between 180-220 miles and have never run dry. Mileage is less into the wind, and we can get 250 miles per tank, but only with the wind, and keeping speed to 60 or below. When the fuel light comes on, we slow down and can travel 30 more miles to get to the next gas station. YMMV
