How Much Gas Do You Have Left ?

[Tripod]

I'd like to find out from you guys and gals, how much gas does your ryde take when you fill up? When I get the lighted warning and I'm down to one bar on the gas gauge, I fill up. Almost everytime it takes about 4.5 gallons to fill it up. So, I'm not really all that close to being empty.

What's your experience filling up???

Tripod :joke:

At 1 bar plus about 20 more miles I usually fill up with 5 gallons. I ran my spyder out of gas once (not on purpose) and about 3/4 of a gallon put it back in 1 bar range. Now, when I get to 1 bar, I start looking for a gas station.

I have an 09 Se5 and the most I have put in is 5.4 gal. w/188.3 miles and no bars showing. Supposedly has a 6.6 gal tank.:yikes:

Tripod: we are about the same here. My RTS takes 4.5 gallons consistently right after the light goes on. I am getting 31-32 miles per gallon now consistently--which gives about 180 miles per tank if your brave enough to ride when the needle on the gas gauge gets below the red mark. It will go all the way to the bottom--but I have never driven it to empty.

for a 6.5 gal tank I have only put 4.7 gal in at one time.. getting 31-32 mpg..

This has been discussed repeatedly on this forum . . .

The tank is 6.6 gallons if you could fill it completely. The usable volume seems to be between 5.5 and 5.7 gallons.

You will only hit those levels if you fill up when you are on fumes. Typically you will put in between 5.0 and 5.4 -- depending on how brave you are when the gauge shows empty.
