seeing we have a 7 gallon tank and at most fill ups i squeeze in 6.5 gallons, that means that guy is getting 50.769 MPG .
i ride my trike like a fat kid going after chocolate cake and i average mid to high 30's.
second though maybe he was on kilometers.
and please leave my grandma alone, how i write is exactly how i talk, full of errors, i spent my time in shop class not English.

I had the privilege of teaching "shop class" for 37 years. I'd still be there if it wasn't for the school administration.

I get a solid 35. I ride my spyder hard. I weigh 170lbs and the wife 125lbs. I run it hard with her on it as well. She ain't happy unless I do. I always run 5mph over the speed limit. I guess that's why I don't do group rides. I tried that and man, people just want to poke along. boring. lol

32-37 2up in flat Florida, cruising depend the speed and wind.display sometimes show 252 miles. This for an f3t

I just checked the total "stat" screen on my 2020; with just a little under 11K on it, my average over those miles is 31.5. Mostly mixed driving, I like twisting the throttle and rarely, if ever, use the "eco" mode.
Despite the claimed fuel capacity, I've never squeezed more than 5.2 gallons in, even when the guage showed empty.

On my ‘21 RTL I get a consistent 37mpg now using 93 octane and Eco mode… driving highway speeds (70+) to get to the slower twisty country lanes and back on the highway for home.
First tank of gas off the showroom floor I got 41… I was shocked.
It settled to 39 for several months and now is 37-38 mpg, usually 37.
The 3000 and 9300 mile oil changes have been done.. hope it continues to hold the mpg.

On my 2018 I think I got into the 30's a couple of times. BRP claims 40MPG. I would put over 5 gallons a lot.
On my 2022 I have over 300 miles and I'm averaging 23-25 MPG.
I'm hoping to get 35 MPG which makes my 300 mile trip with no gas stations doable

Another question for those that have the newer RTL, is your engine noisy?
It's much noisier than my 2018

GOOD LUCK on 300 miles without adding gas on a 7 gallon tank! I will never try to squeeze that out of mine. I hate walking just because I was trying to see if it would make it. Just plain silly! MHO. Bill
Do the math: 35mpg, 7 gal tank, = 245 miles

Define noisy, I have the primary muffler delete and can record videos at highway speed and be heard clearly with no apparent engine noise.
That being said some helmets are noisier than others.

My '21 RTL sounds like a thrashing machine compared to my 2008 Honda Gold Wing GL1800.
I have driven up behind people on the Gold Wing and they had no idea I was there.

Standing next to the bike it's very noisy. Much noisier than my 2018.
I'm hoping to find another 20 to 22 to compare

Remember, having ample gas in your tank is what cools the fuel pump. Running it down to a minimum isn't "cool"!
SORRY, seem to be getting off topic, I get about 30-32 mpg regularly

My 2020 RTLtd, with cat delete, stage 2 WickIt ECU, Akropovic exhaust and Pedal Commander off, gets 35 mpg in Eco Mode.
Ride safe; shiny side up, greasy side down.

What's pedal commander?
How much was the ECU and is it hard to install?

Pedal Commander info is all over this Forum.
ECU Stage 2 tune was by the former guy who owned it. It involves removing the ECU and sending it to WickIt. None of that would have ever been done by this 78 year old. That's for younger hands and backs. LOL.
