• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Gas Mileage - FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!

Held off a while to see how this would work out. Gas mileage is like depreciation. It is always a "best estimate." Way to many variables and there can be very good and very bad readings at any time.

I am an accountant so I always play the numbers, but don't get to excited one way or the other.

I am talking 5 spyders and over 130,000 total miles.

The four two cylinder rotax engines--rather GS/RS/or RT, have always performed in the 30 mpg range for me. Best ever was 34. Everything downhill, wind at my back and cruising at a leasurely 45 or so.

The three cylinder 2014 usually performs at about 10 mpg better. Pretty much around 40.

I round off my calculations to the nearest whole mile. 32.2 would be 32. 30.9 would be 31. Those 4 decimal calculations imply more accuracy than actually indicated. Did you squeeze the nozzle a tad more this time????????? :roflblack::roflblack:

I drive non-aggressive and usually keep it at posted and no more than five over--actually like posted + 3. I did not buy a :spyder2: for its fuel efficiency--just for fun. :yes:
 
I get a pretty consistent 31-32 MPG on our 2010 RT. I'm a pretty casual cruiser, no speed demon. I usually stop between 128-140 miles and fill up with 2 bars left on the gauge. I keep receipts and add up the gallons and miles.
