2015 F3S MPG

[Bob Denman]

I got 38.8mpg yesterday. 220miles 5.6 gal. Running about 62mph.

That about tracks with what I normally get for fuel mileage. :thumbup:

Sorry but I don't believe it.........A lot of people her have posted their MPG's with the F-3 and your's is about 5 mpg's more than that average............But if you are :yes::yes::yes:..........................Mike :thumbup:

I find the mileage to be very speed sensitive.. at near constant 55 mph I got 45mpg for 266 miles on one test , but normally at my cruising speed - cruise control set on 78 - I am lucky to get 35mpg

All I know is I get about 30 MPG on the 2012 RT sm5 and about 35-37 on the F3 sm6 in the same riding pattern!
I LOVE both machines for what they are???nojoke

ditto!

I can get 50+ mpg on our 2014 RTS SE6, but most people can't because it would mean using Cruise Control in 5th gear while cruising 2 lanes at 50 mph. Unheard of! Oh Well, to each his own.

MPG

Back before we were blessed with all this rain, I was out traveling the
back roads around here and mph was generally between 50 and 65. My
gas mileage came out to 40.1 mpg. I was happy camper.

Thinking I may have missed something in figuring how I got such good mileage
I made another check today. Back roads and all with speeds bouncing between
45, 55, 65 and an occasional dash to 70 mph. Gas mileage came out to 46.2 mpg.
That was 3.5 gals over a 162 mile route. Other than the new sway bar, I set front
tires to 18.5 lbs. and back to 27.5 lbs. I love this kind of mpg.

I live in an area where the legal speed limit is mostly 55 mph with the occasional 60 mph---IF I chose to stay at those speeds I will average a tad over 40 MPG. However, I usually get throttle happy and have average around 38 MPG for the 2900 miles on my F3-S.

With an almost 20mpg spread for the same 1330cc engine even with ALL the "explained differences - all things being equal", BRP should be hearing from every auto and cycle manufacturer on earth as to how they could achieve such a MPG spread with one engine design! Go Spyder riders...

You missed an important aspect - fuel consumption depends mostly on the speed traveled at, which has rarely been given.

The second factor is load - carrying a passenger will see more fuel used than riding solo.

Running against the wind will cause higher fuel consumption.

Traveling on the freeway in close proximity to other vehicles going in the same direction will reduce fuel consumption, and so on.

Why fifth?

It will easily pull sixth gear and use even less fuel
