Hi everyone,

Just wanted to do some gasoline consumption comparison here..
Im in HK, this is a pic of the gas pump after I completely filled the tank, after 15 miles that the reserve light had gone off.


In this pic you can see:

-  255 HKD / 32.8 USD for full tank of gas
-  Full tank 15.65 liters / 4.13 gallons
-  16.5 HKD/2.12 USD  per Liter  or    62.37 HKD / 8.00 USD per gallon 

This full tank gives me 250 KMs / 155miles    in up and downhill hilly driving, until the gas light first goes of.

Mind you my monster is only a 400CC one.

Damn that's expensive gas.
People here cry like babies about pricing and it's less then 1/2 of what you are paying

Yeah Gas prices in HK are much higher then the states...

but I see how this could turn political which i did not intend..

Im interested of how many litters/gallons you guys fill your tank with and how many kms/miles that tank gives you?


anybody care to share!?

When the fuel light goes off, the bikes get gas within 10-15 miles.  I try not to fill more than 3.5 gallons.  The M750 can make it 150, and the M900ie only about 125.

I get about 40 miles/gallon on my 900 carb'd Monster and that is normal "fun" riding (not keeping the revs down for better gas mileage).


My 2003 620 fuel injected got about 48 miles/gallon.



Not trying to rub it in (too much), but it cost me $10 to fill up yesterday.

How many gallons?

I just filled up w/ premium yesterday and it was $3.85 USD a gallon. It's gone up about .30 in the last couple weeks around here

I'm lucky if I can go 100 miles before the light goes off and it takes 2.3-2.5 gallons typically.  After the light I am looking for a gas station within the first 10 miles.

 [thumbsup] I've just returned from a 2000 mile tour aound France. Keeping the revs below 4000, and using the top 2 gears as much as possible, my 1100 Evo got 62mpg! Good eh?

Routinely 190 miles before the light comes on, ~3.6 gallons to fill up at that point.

3. It was $3.31/gallon at the Chevron down the street from my house.  Was going on a ride without gas stations, so I filled about 20 miles before the light would have come on.

Gas here in the island's $4.15 reg & $4.25 89...which I use.
I usually get around 40mpg on my M900 w FCR 41's & that includes commuting & frisky riding combined.
My gas gauge is not working so I set the mileage trip control each fill up & at 100 mi I replenish the tank.
My people skills are just fine.
It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.
