IDK, I just kept dumping 5 in each time we got back to camp
Thinking about 7-10 MPg but not sure yet. I think we did better on the cruising trip with Baja5 and JT1967 but not sure really. Maybe closer to 12-15?

Around 25 mpg if I remember right. Sand will kill it in a hurry though.

Re: Whats the average fuel usage per run.
I really need to figure out what my range is, Mark says 175 miles min before fuel. I hate, I mean HATE to haul fuel in a fuel can up on top, that just has bad ending written all over it.

They come in lots of sizes. See the ATV guys have them on the quad racks. maybe locating somewhere other then the roof with a pair of 2 gallon ones?

Yes sir I am, those look interesting. Would think they might fair better in a roll over. Wonder what the heat would do to them up there.

Re: Whats the average fuel usage per run.
That is about it. It depends a lot on how and where you ride plus how heavy your foot is on the loud pedal. For the black buggy I had a fuel gauge system made for the AL tank that is accurate twice... full, mid-full and running out of gas says it is empty. Bwahahahaha!CentralWAbaja wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2017 10:38 am IDK, I just kept dumping 5 in each time we got back to camp
Fuel weight adds up but if you have a strong enough engine you can overcome the weight... somewhat.

Re: Whats the average fuel usage per run.
Not sure on the configuration of the new buggy but maybe a 2gal down low in front of passenger feet? I would think that your range will be good, but if you are missing by by anything its going to be just a little? I doubt you would need to be more then a couple gal?Leatherneck wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 3:46 pmYes sir I am, those look interesting. Would think they might fair better in a roll over.
