Default RE: Gas mileage

it's all cool. Yea, i was kind of like "dude, i KNOW what kind of liquid to use for my bike" hahaahahh...yea, gas price here is a little cheaper than elsewhere...thank god. I heard it's gonna be somewhere around 4 or higher in summer. I've been riding my bike for the past 3 days during last week and i love it. My Z is a V6 but it drinks gas like a Macho man on roid. I get around 17-18mpg in my Z and I CAN ONLY put 93 in it as well. I just can't afford 50-55 bucks everytime i have to fill it up. Damn, just imagine people with V8 Suburban and Z71 and alll the GMC with 5.7L and up...HOLY

I got a Tahoe, 5.7 Liter, 12 mpg. Now it gets close to 15, because I got a open throttle body and free flow exhaust and other little mods that up'ed my gas milage a little...it costs me almost $85 to fill it with 87 a week. When I ride my bike to work, I save upwards of $8 a day.

I figured most people would know that the bikes take 93, but in this thread, I almost posted... "You know you put gas in the gas tank, right?"

Nothing personal to anyone...but common sense got left at the door in this thread.

ok i filled up yesterday properly and got the fuel level to the top finally! ahhaha it was a triumphant experience! I'll get an accurate reading this tank then of what my mpg is. I've ridden 48 miles so far and only 1 tick of the gas gauge has gone down

Well heres an ironic story.... So after writing this thread originally I figured I would try riding the bike really easy for a tank. Well im at about 162 miles on it and still no blinking light just one bar. Im thinking to myself WOW this is a big difference. Well sadly I make it to about 165 miles and then putttt puttttt down the street I go. I had to push it about a mile down the road to the gas station, luckily it was mostly downhill. But over all on the tank I got about 38 miles a gallon.

Well, for me, i get around 35mpg. Less sometimes when it is all city driving, but it is really nice while on the highway. Beats me 11mpg 05 Cummins Ram 3500. True, i put a chip, exhaust, and intake on it, and it is super nice to smoke other peoples cars in, but it costs me about 120$ to fill its tank now with diesel.
Ride away!!

Wow Z's only get 17-18. My Nismo 4x4 Frontier gets 16.5 on 87, 18-19 highway. Course that's also my major bargining tool for trying to convince my wife to allow me to get a 600. She has a big problem with the whole safety thing.
