The 16" tracks have a 36L tank, the WT's 42L

In deep snow we got 173kms out of 43 litres on 600R/850 G4 20 wides. Don't get me wrong it was fun but those engines eat gas when they are run hard. The turbo will also be hungry I suspect. We didn't have to carry gas on the same routes on the XUs with similar engines. However they had less power.

Ya there's no way around it, more power equals more gas when at "full throttle"

My 2020 900ACE WT gets approx 190km before the fuel light comes on. I have gone to 230km with the light on and was only able to put 26 litres of gas in, which tells me I had a good 1/3 of a tank left but the dang light plays on my mind even though I know I am good for a while yet.

The gauge tells me I am burning 15L / 100km (2-up trail riding) so if my math is correct I should be good for 300 km before running out.

My 2020 Expedition SE 900 Ace turbo stopped after 241,3km today.
I filled it up and the average consumption was 16,12 liters/100km or ~18mpg.
I'm happy with that.

80km of the 241 I was pulling a load of approx 250kg.

Pretty similar to the numbers I'm seeing. I don't know how some of these folks get the mileage they do out of them. 43 liters sounds like you actually got the 11.1 gallon fuel capacity to fit? I've heard that it won't actually draw that much, like maybe only 10 gallons in reality. I was happy to go to this from my narrow G4 last year with the 9.5 gallon tank but disappointed to find that the 11.1 gallons might not be true, and also that the fuel light inexplicably comes on when you have as much as 4 gallons still in the tank? Also my fuel mpg stat is totally bogus. I reset it on Saturday and rode 103 miles on one tank and it says I was getting 1.5 MPG. Fuel light came on around 75 miles, and I hadn't run out yet.

my 20 exp se uses about 5 liters more than a 20 renagade / enduro both with 900 aces. on same trail. My light comes on real early after i burn 25 liters. tranny is no problem on the 20 and electro reverse has been good / better than my 16 grand touring se.not much to complain about ,,

2015 wt here, 900. I just went 148 miles on a tank and it wasn't completely empty so around 15mpg. I rode mostly back country trails and about 20% groomed to get to the back country

I'm finding that my 2020 SE and my LE 900 ACE NA both burn the same amount of fuel when run together. the low fuel light is almost always on by 160 km with about 10 - 12 L left in the tank. My 2018 LE run at the same time burns about 2/3 of the fuel that the new one's do - it is the same as my wife's GT 900 - 2017. My 2018 would comfortably get me 300 + km on a tank trail riding and at least 250 km lake and bush trail riding. I find the 2020's to be much jumpier than the 2018. Is this due to lower gearing - is that the cause of the poorer fuel economy? I'm not a great tranny guy but can we put the higher gearing from the Turbo in a NA 900? Is the gearing lower than the XU's?

What motor is in your SE, the turbo?

For my use the lower gearing is perfect on the new 2020 LE, Ski-doo really got it right on this one. I have no way of comparing fuel mileage to my 2015 XU, but even if it is a little less, to me the benefits are well worth it. I suppose if it is a problem for the trail riding segment of users, maybe a touring model is needed using the higher gearing.

900 Ace here, 187 Klms in sloppy hard running conditions and it "ran out of fuel" and coasted to a stop. It restarted and got me to gas station less than 1/2 mile away. It took 34 litres to fill it. That left 8 still in the tank, unusable I assume. Horrible mileage compared to my previous 900.

Im averaging 16 litres per 100 klm.

why the drop in mileage?

 

[Skeld]

Something has to be off if it only took 34 liters to fill it. Supposed to be a 43 liter tank?

 

[jamiepenney]

The tanks are 36 or 37L. Check your owners manual.

Wide track has a 42 Liter tank. Some had an issue with the tank bottom collapsing in from a frozen vent. It's not visible from the outside. Might be your problem

 

[suv1]

42L on the WT's, 36L on the 16", the manual with the WT does say 36L but that is incorrect

 

[SnowLeopard]

Yes it's a 42 litre tank with 8 being filler/ballast lol

im not impressed with my mileage, two smokers are getting similar mileage.

Well well Brp can't print lol

 

[Skeld]

The spec sheet says 11.1 gal., I converted it incorrectly, sorry. Although now that I look again it has both liters and gallons on there. Anyway, it's kind of alarming that the volume isn't really there.

All 3 of my Expeditions are 900 non turbos. Why the 50% increase in fuel consumption from the 2018 to the 2020's? Is it gearing? I can't believe that 5 hp burns that much more fuel, especially riding at the same speed in the same conditions.

6kms per liter on the wifes LE 2020, it burns a bit more than our 3 900"s, 2016swt 2017swt, 2015 expy but not alot more

 

[simpleman19]

Not a wide track but I have a Expy sport, my self and the wife just went 230 km on 28.5 L (as per fuel pump at the gas station). The trip included some good sustained 100km/h + pulls on several multiple km stretches on ice and access roads.

I couldn't believe it.
