Average range (km or Mi) per tank
 
Im just curious what people are getting out of a full tank of gas from a GZ (mostly stock, or with the 16t front sprocket).
Is it safe to assume I can get at least 125 miles per tank?

thanks

I generally fill up at the 200 km mark. Thats 125 miles. And there's still fuel in the tank, and I don't need to go on reserve. That's around 1.85 gallons US.

120 miles is when I fill it up, usually 1.5 to 1.6 gallons.

200 miles is about the max on a single tank.

I consistently averaged well over 150 miles per tank.

Here's a PDF showing some of my old fuel economy logs.

Yes, that's roughly what I do (but in kilometers and litres) :tup:

I usually ride it until I hit reserve, which usually is around 210 miles, sometimes just under 200.
Then, you still have some left of course, but you don't want to be out of gas.

oh wow, so the full range is actually around 200 miles? Thats great to hear haha. Should make my road trip a bit less stressful while in the more remote areas of the US.
Im taking about 1.2L of extra fuel with me anyways just in case.
Ill be mostly cruising at 80-85km/h
You think its better to keep my 16t front sprocket for that to keep the revs down a bit?

Since you're not using miles per hour, where are you? Europe, Australia? :) :???:

If you're going to be going through heavily steeped terrain then I'd switch back down to the 15T - but for regular roads the 16T will be just fine. If you're overall cruising speed is going to be around 85k/h then you've got nothing to worry about it.
