FUEL GUAGE ACCURACY

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

Nevermind!!!! I DO have that. I guess I was looking for a normal looking gage. Thanks for the picture. I got in too big of a rush last night to realize it was there.

Interesting, isn't it, how sometimes what you're looking for isn't what you're looking for!

The RTs with the 998 engines had fuel gauges that were... pretty dang inaccurate!
It was ALWAYS best to ride by the tip odometers.

But the 1330 bikes have fuel gauges that are accurate and repeatable. Run them down to when the "Low Fuel" light comes on, and you'll invariably take right about 5.5 gallons.
So that leaves you with over a gallon of fuel for finding an open gas station!

Your pretty good. Just had the fuel light come on for the first time. Went to the gas station and took 5.4.

You need to consider this question the OTHER way around.

In the summer when it is HOT, the fuel contains a lesser amount of high volatility components.......so that the evaporation rate is less.
It gives slightly less mileage because of the different formula.......and because of the HEAT.

The "winter" gas is the "normal" stuff.
I'm not sure that Florida switches back and forth though.

I don't know whether they switch or not, but I can tell you they use that excuse to raise the price like they do up north, because, it is the "summer blend."

Don't fuss. In California they have a Winter formula, mostly to create revenue for the refineries. As I recall, it is 'oxygenation.'
