    MPG

    I have a 1994 Stratos 18' with a 1994 Ev. Intruder carbed. Top speed around 60 mph at 5500rpm. I'm wondering if anyone knows what kind of mileage I can expect?

    Thanks, but did you mean 50 mph? So with my 30 gal. tank I'd have a range of about 120 miles max, as long as I went 50 instead of 60.

    Yes mid 50's not 100% throttle the entire time.
