MPG?
« on: June 21, 2012, 10:00:47 PM »
I've had my P150 about 8 weeks now.  So far all of my driving has been in the city at speeds seldom exceeding 35 MPH.  I'm easy on the throttle and quick to turn off the ignition when I'm parking.  With this in mind, I was expecting to exceed the manufacturer's estimated 84 MPG they show in the P150 specs.  But, I was blown away when I got 105 MPG with my first tank of gas and 141 MPG with my second!  FWIW, I do know now to check mileage so there was no error on my part.  I'm filling with 91 octane.

I was wondering what kind of gas mileage others are getting?

Remember your odometer is probably regeristing kilometers and not miles. That probably explains the difference. I picked up my new 2010 last week. I didn't baby it at all and got 66mph on my first fill up.

That's got to be it, I knew that 141 MPG was too good to be true!  I just did the conversion and actually got 65 and 87 MPG, which is OK with me!

Yes, the odometer is in km.  I typically get between 70 and 75 mpg depending on how twisty I am with the throttle.

Same here.  Not much variation, either.
