I am getting about 60 MPG which is lower than I expected.  What are you getting?

I've had my used People s200 for 5 months and put 1200 miles all in-town riding at 25-55 mph and have averaged 77 mpg.

I've had an '09 People S 125 for a month now and I am getting on average 93 mpg (imperial gallon) which isn't too bad considering I have the throttle pinned most of the time. I actually managed 100 kph (just over 60 mph) a couple of times.

So I drive my bike full tilt most of the time.  We have some hills here on the PA,DE boarder, so it is not totally flat.  I figure I am getting about 65 MPG.  I might be getting a little better than that, but I don't know for sure.  It seems like I fill my bike about every 100 miles and put in about 1,3 gallons.  I guess that comes out a bit higher than 65.  i use the highest octane and I add fuel stabelizer as well.

I get almost 80MPG and I use non oxygenated (no ethanol corn squeezin') gas in all my 'toys' except my cars and lawn mowers. Got this recommendation from the boat dealer. It costs more and has higher octane. Is this a waste for a scooter in MN?

The Peep S 200 got 71 mpg on it's first measured tank of gas.  88.3 miles and 1.25 gallons.

Don't know if the odometer is accurate or if it is optimistic.  Update, the speedo is about 10% optomistic, don't know about the odo.

Update: second measured tank got 62.5 mpg, US gallons.  The Peep was used mostly for short rides, lots were 1.6 mi to the grocery store and same mi back to home. 

Third measured tank got 75 mi, this tank was filled at the 100 mile mark, it had a 60 mile ride on back roads at about 42 mph indicated and the other 40 miles were short rides to stores, etc.  This tank was with a windshield installed, it is a tall WS made for the People S series.

Your MPG is the high end of the curve. That should answer your question. Better fuel ALWAYS = better mileage. Whether it is cheaper to use in the long run is another topic. I believe it is.

I just gassed up and got 73 MPG, mostly mixed riding but a good 20 miles or so on the highway going almost full tilt, my next tank should be a bit better, will report back with the results.

Filled up today and was shocked I only got 65 MPG, disappointing to say the least. Will see what next time brings. So far combined I'm just over 69 mpg.

My MPG is in the high 50s.  I do ride aggressively and weigh 210. 

But something is likely wrong with the carburetion.  One of the valve clearances was also too tight.

Filled up last night and got 71 MPG so my avg is now about 70 MPG overall. Not bad but I had hoped for better. I filled with super this time and will see if any possitive change is made.
