Gas mileage poll for the new 300
So, let's get this started. Answer the poll with the average gas mileage you are seeing so far on your 2013+ Ninja 300. If it changes over time, you can unvote and choose the updated range.
No games while calculating, no estimating based on how many miles before you fill up, no looking at the fuel gauge and estimating how long it takes to get to half tank. The only reliable way to measure fuel mileage, and the way you should do it for this thread particularly, is below: - fill up the tank to the top (touching the metal ring, or any other landmark so that you know it's exactly to a repeatable point). - reset your trip odometer - go have some fun and burn some gas - when you next fill up, make sure you fill up to exactly the same point in the tank. make note of the exact amount of fuel it took to fill the tank back up. look at your trip meter, and divide that number of miles by the amount of fuel. voila: there's your average fuel economy (no, Apple hasn't patented this method yet, so we're good for awhile) ((P.S. If you live someplace interesting that uses a strange measure of liquid quantity, please try and convert it to U.S. gallons before answering the poll. Google is your friend, here.))

I put in my poll based on the method outlined. I expect I will be readjusting my poll since my break-in period is about up and I will be all over it for awhile so mileage will surely suffer in the best ways. He he he.....

Damn, I got another one wrong. Believe me I am so sorry. I should have realized that but I didn't. Now I have been shamed to the point of debating whether I should ever answer another poll on the forum. Please, please forgive me. This has been the worse day of posting on the forum.

So my one vote was closer to the truth (according to the challenge).
I'm feeling pretty factual right now!

Here's what I'm seeing:
Tank 1: 37 mpg (eek, hope it starts to break in) Tank 2: 46 mpg (ok, it's moving in the right direction) Tank 3: 49 mpg (ok, this is higher than I've ever seen on my 250 under normal use) That last tank was at a constant 80 mph (actual) from Marin back to home this morning. In the same exact usage, I would get 37-38 mpg on the 250; the new bike is a huge improvement already.

As it breaks in mileage only gets better at least thats what I am seeing which make sense because the motor is seating accordingly. I have been riding very agressively today and love the top end of this bike. I cant wait to see how much a full exhaust with ecu management gains us. |

Alex, nice job on the hard break-in methods
Seeing as you get about the same mileage on tires as me, I think your numbers are able to be compared to the numbers I get from my pregen (which are known for getting a touch better mileage than newgens). For reference, I have a fuel injected pregen with full intake and exhaust. I see about 54 mpg average, with a mix of spirited riding and commuting. Alex is getting roughly similar mileage. I bet it will keep going up a little as he gets over the throttle response and roll-on acceleration tests that always accompany a new bike |

The way I see it is as follows:
This cite is based in the US. Use US units if you want to make things easier for the masses. That's what forums are for, making info available to the masses through discussion. |

I see what you are saying though, the rest of the world needs to get with the times. Inches, feet, miles, quarts, gallons, why the **** would you want to use units that make sense? That's retarded. 100cm in 1 meter? Do you realize how stupid that sounds? We have 12 inches in 1 foot and 3 feet in 1 yard. You can't argue with that.
