Don’t know what model you’re referring to, or whether a Spyder or a Ryker, or an Imperial Gal. or U.S gal., but I’m getting 45++ on my RTS (Imp. Gal).

Do a search for MPG on this forum and you'll read comments until your eyes are bleary! I've characterized Spyder MPG like a kid jumping up and down on a trampoline it varies so much! Sometimes I think it depends on if the sun is shining or not! Somewhere in the 30's is most commonly reported.

:chat:...I get between 33 to 39 mpg on my Spyder.
Speed is the biggest factor.
So 55 mph in 6th gear @ 39 mpg.
At 70 mph in 6th gear @ 33 mpg.

I can live with those numbers. ......:thumbup:

Enjoy your Ryde Time.

34 mpg for my 2015 RT. I have done a bit better and a bit worse, but 34 is the number I see most of the time. When traveling I avoid big cities and freeways like the plague so that is two lane travel with as many twistie parts as I can find.

Same with my 2014 RTL

.

Even with the ECU flash, I'm around 37 to 39 with my beautiful bride in the back. Higher speeds = lower milage.

not that anybody really cares but the old VTwin is a consistent 27. something. Since it is always point something I have to assume that I am having occasional bouts of 28 or 29 or:yikes:30. It must be my fat *** that weighs it down.

I am one of those that keeps track quite often on mileage.

We drive a lot of miles a year now. Most of those miles are on secondary roads. Most are driven about 40 - 45 miles per hour. Currently have two 1330's. (F3L). Also had a 1330 RT-S. (2014). My experience has been high 30's to low 40's. 38 - 41. If we get on the road at highway speeds 55, 65, then the mileage will go down a couple miles per gallon. We do not pull a trailer or ride two up. Both of those situations will reduce the mileage.

Our experience with the 998's. Have had four...two RS/GS and two RT's. Our mileage on these was always low 30's.

As per my post above, that’s identical to my RTS with 37,000 miles on it...solo riding, no trailer.

I have a 2021 RT. Even when riding without a passenger, and in Eco Mode, I seem to average around 34 mpg. But I do tend to rider faster than the posted speed limits. I always fill up before I each 200 miles.
