    Default Gas Mileage

    I know there has been a lot of talk on here about mileage I have a 13 RTS Sm5 I just got home from a 2280 mile trip riding 1 up on 2 lane and 4 lane hi ways I used 70 gallonsn of fuel when you do the math it is 32.5 mpg, speeds from 40 to 75 mph., not real good but worth every mpg for the fun I had, my riding partner was on a Harley Low Rider 6 Speed his mileage was 42.6 better but the level of comfort between the two put a big smile on my face, and by the way not one hint of trouble from either ride, not sorry at all I bought the 13.....has 11980 miles on the clock and the tires still look great, Just my take as a happy Spyder rider

    you are right in line with what I get as well. i didn't purchase it for the mileage so it really doesn't bother me.

    glad it is trouble free for you!

    Default gas mileage 2014 Limited

    Just finished a 17000 km trip from Victoria, BC to St John's, Nfld and back on my 2014 rt limited. I checked a couple dozen tanks of fuel during the trip home through interstate 90. My average was 35.6 mpg using eco mode and 33. 1 when off eco mode. Been home a week and just now finished getting the bugs out of my teeth.
