GZ250 Gas Mileage
Edit: The links that were here are broken and the files no longer exist. Sorry.
I have removed the links. |
My averages were messed up and no body noticed. :blush: I got to wondering why the average mileage dropped every time I added a line. When it got to a completely unbelievable number I got curious enough to fix it. I for got to update the formula that calculates the average.
I also fixed it so that when I up date the image it up dates here. It actually shows on two web sites so that makes it easier for me. |
I sure miss getting that kind of gas mileage lol. First week i had the spirit, i ran out of gas on the highway ... forgot i wouldnt be getting GZ mileage anymore.
|
Thats embarrassing. I ran out once on the way home from work. What was really bad was that if I had turned left instead of right I would have run out right near a gas station. I called my wife and begged her to bring me some gas. I had for got about switching to reserve the day before.
My Yamaha will only go about 120 miles on a tank of gas. Got to be careful with that one. |
I have updated the gas mileage table.
Despite what I have been told the large windshield doesn't seem to have had much effect on gas mileage. The 2001 bike has a much smaller Spitfire windshield and usually carries about 100lbs less. The difference is only 0.57 mpg. I hit reserve on the way home today at 185 miles I've hit reserve at 205 miles but its been a while. |

Killed a lot of bugs running WOT for most of 500 miles loaded down with camping gear for this update. |
I have hit reserve twice now at between 220 and 225 miles on my 2006 gz250.

My wife set a new record over the weekend. [red]95.85 mpg[/red]
Anyone care to try and top that. I've heard of people getting over 100. May be your the one. |
I think about 80 is our best and we're happy with that. But 100mpg is very impressive. What's her secret?
Good gas milage is why we bought in the first place. However, I'm not so sure it is paying off as well as we planned. It seems as though we have been out riding more and racking up the miles while ignoring our chores around the house. Like today for example. Cheers! |
