    Default First Tank of Fuel

    Well I finally rode the new 2014 RT enough to need to put gas in her.
    135 Miles, 35.46 MPG, 93 Octane, not too bad even if it is not broke in yet.
    Since I had a vacation day today I took a short trip back to the dealer
    to get my spare tire cover and then the long way home

    on the new ryde. Sounds like good mileage. I am guessing that the mileage will improve as you get more miles on.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Default Great..!!

    Thats the way it goes...there is the way home and then there is the long way home. Spyders seem to do much better on the long way home. Keep ryding keep smiling etc etc...

    Most of the "shortcuts", that I know, add at least an extra 15 miles to any trip!


    Bogie,

    GREAT first tank! Now, you can start stretching your range...
    I used to always start looking for fuel at about 135 miles.
    My first tank: 160.4
    I've been up right at, or just over 200 miles ever since!

    At 35 mpg you could have gone nearly 100 more miles before you filled up.
