Lol!!!

I've done about 10,000km and consistantly get 7l/100km even if being very gentle in acceleration and minimal hi speeds. Pretty poor showing and dont understand why the 900ACE isnt returning a much higher efficiency. Seems the Skidoo with 900ACE is just if not even more efficient than the Ryker even with the sleds higher drag through snow. To augment the built-in fuel tank I've mounted a 5l gas container on a fabricated bracket bolted to the optional side bag mounting assembly. Peace of mind while riding in the boonies. 70km insurance!

I may be the odd man out here.. but i've never looked at the MPG the bike gets? I just ride.

Agree...Fun is better then MPG

New and trying to learn before I decide which model of 3 wheeler I want. I see several here posting much better MPG but...they are not listing which Ryker model they own. As always, it's always in the details.

Just got my Ryker earlier this month, but after two fillups (hi-test) I've gotten 37.8 mpg. Not fantastic, but tolerable. PS, mine's the 2019 600 version.

There is no transmission and if your on the interstate: 70mph down here..so your going 75 to keep up with traffic your engine is spinning a near 7,000 rpm..not good for mileage. Also not good for longevity, but. It is a toy mostly bought for the fun factor. There are better commuter vehicles that will last longer= no fun.

Well, I do a short stretch on the Interstate when there's no alternative, but 40-45 around town is 90% of my driving, so hoping for many more problem-free miles (approaching 2500 now).

Ive over 8000 now but most country roads rather than interstates. No sign of engine problems and no oil consumption. Bad gas consumption but has not got worse since 1000. Fun machine but also seems to work on long distance trecks. Hope to get several thousand before ware shows up. BRP better have done a good engineering job. My snow sled revs around 5000/6000 all the time on long trips and Ive got close to 20000 on that and its going strong so BRP products seem to be able to survive continuous hi revs.

I'm finding that too switchglide12 on eco on long highway rides with 95oct I'm getting closer to 300km I started off getting no more than 220/240km same stats in standard mode I'm now running in 98/e10oct should get little bit more.

*** 95 *** octane? Wow! Where are you buying that? Stations here in Tucson have 87/91/93.
