Slight dip, 65 mpg last fill up. Don't know if it'll continue falling with the winter blend gas in Cali?

Just did my first full tank of mostly interstate riding. Thought it might go down significantly, since doing 70-80 makes the bike work so hard. But it actually went up (probably just because taking the interstate route meant I wasn't sitting in traffic as much). Average still around 55, but interstate riding was 58.

How many miles do you guys normally ride before it's time for a fill up? I'm just curious about the range on a full tank.

230 to 240 miles. I have made it 255 miles once. When the fuel gauge starts blinking it means you have about .9 gallons of gas left. I take note and know I can get 40 more miles easy if I back it down to the posted speed limit.

Is the fuel gauge more accurate than the 250's gauge?

It seems to have less complaints about it; works well enough on mine.
So, who are the dingbats who chose < 20 mpg or > 100 mpg in the poll?

First tank: 62mpg =)
I'm really happy with that. Most riding was on 35-55mph two lane (one in each direction) roads with minimal stop and go. I did consciously try to keep the bike in "eco" mode...shifting around 7000 RPM for the most part. Rode 178 miles. Requiring 2.86 gals of gas. The fuel gauge seems off? I showed 2 bars left. I decided to fill up because I was in a location I wasn't familiar with. No idea how often I'll see a gas station. Would really hate to run out of gas! |

I just filled up again. I think this is my fourth time. First few times were 50s mpg and this time i got 63 mpg. I have yet to get 200+ miles to a tank though... each time I fill up im only putting in 3 gallons too.

Mine is kind of annoying, actually; it starts flashing when I've got more than a gallon left in the tank.

For the month of Sept, I calculated an average of 62.3mpg (if I did my math correctly).
I'm pretty happy with that number. I probably don't ride as hard as you guys do since I normally keep it between 6000 - 8000 RPM. My commute is mostly on 40mph-45mph roads with very little traffic. |

Not sure what I voted in the past but my gas mileage is roughly 45mpg at the track. Which means if you're getting significantly lower gas mileage than that there's probably an issue with your bike

Mine's a 2016, I'm the first owner, and I've put 1,700 miles on it since I got it in January. Right now, I'm averaging about 54-56 mpg, almost all highway (80mph) riding. I've put better engine coolant in it, removed every bit of weight I could, swapped for lighter parts, etc. I run 85 octane with ethanol (can't find non-ethanol that isn't premium here, and premium makes the backfiring worse) and a sta-bil anti-ethanol additive.
Honestly, I was hoping to get better mileage out of it than this. I'm still trying to figure out ways to increase it, but I'm having no luck (other than smaller / lighter exhaust, lithium battery, or removing the engine lol) |

Drop you cruising speed to the lower 70s and you'll see a fairly marked improvement (to at least over 60 mpg.) That little eco indicator might be silly, but it really does mean something. Don't listen to the people who claim it simply comes on at certain RPMs in certain gears and doesn't indicate anything real, it depends on a number of things (engine speed, wheel speed, throttle opening, etc.)

It seems to me that the eco light is more of a vacuum gauge, well, vacuum light, thats how it acts on mine anyway.

On the top end,aAll I know is that after 72mph, it turns off (roughly 8,000rpm).
Anyone know how that light works? I think it takes throttle position into account.

My wife (and I) has a 2015 300 and she only rides occasionally. We're not too concerned with mileage but I think it looks a lot more aggressive than my 2010 ZX10.

With 25,800 miles on the odometer, I tracked every single fill up. My 300's average fuel economy is 66MPG.
Have you guys noticed your fuel mileage changing based on temps. I've noticed as temps drop, so does my fuel mileage. Seems like a consistent 15% drop. I don't know if it's the gas (more ethanol in the winter blend) or that the bike has to run richer due to the cold. Winter of 2014/2015: 59mpg Summer of 2015: 70mpg Winter of 2015/2016: 60mpg Summer of 2016: 72mpg Fall of 2016: 64mpg

That would be interesting since winter-blend fuel is more easily combustible (which should lead to better fuel economy).

Same experience here. Riding in rural NJ (especially when I do 100+ mile rides), i hit 70mpg often. When I visit friends and stay over in Brooklyn or Queens and we ride out to Manhattan, I'm in the upper 40s or low 50s. Short rides. Tons of stop & go. Kills gas mileage.
