Not 20, but I did get as good as 18mpg and thats no bullsh&%.I laughed pretty good seeing those ads with the weights being stacked on the hood of the MXZ. The Apex and Attak are fantastic sleds but its true, the Yami's are 80 to 100 lbs more and its all on the front end. According to the ad, they list the 800 PTek getting 20 mpg? Who is getting that? I'm not. Maybe 12 MPG on my 2006 Gade 800, but certainly not 20. I think that is a bogus statement from Doo. If a guy weighed about 90 lbs and only putted around, you might get 20 MPG, but not during real trail riding. Anyone else think that 20 MPG statement is silly?
I saw the new SD ads in the magazines

must be driven by a old lady and not mesh the throttle much , but I did manage to get around 16.7 MPG for my 800 P/T

I think when they come up with those numbers it's done in a factory setting with the sled on a dyno or something similar. Certainly not real world conditions - they advertise milage for vehicles the same way - I've never gotten the milage the adds say.
So under perfect conditions with no resistance or weight the sled is capable of getting 20mpg - great, that helps me alot!! hehehehe

Aggressive and trail riding don't belong together in the same sentence - that's an oxymoron

LOL, I didn't want to say anything but I was thinking the same thing.
My 05X PT
On a long run (hungover) between gas in QC I went 153 miles on 33 L of fuel.
That's 20.9 MPG CDN
Another run with a 220# friend on the back while his melted down Poo sat at the dealer went 138 miles on 29L of fuel. That's 21.4 MPG, but we went like hell downhill !
I repeatedly got 110+/- miles on 28L on my 06 Gade geared up 1 tooth. darn good by me.

Well I can't tell you what my best ever gas milage was, but I can tell you what my worst ever was. 5.5 MPG
That was on a poker run from Tok, Alaska to Dawson, Canada. It was 77.2 miles from Tok to Chicken, we made it in just under 50 minutes (had to stop and pee a couple of times

) I had a 4 gal Tour buddy on my sled and I took 14.3 gals of gas at Chicken. To run is over a groomed highway that closed during winter, we ran it full throttle nearly all the way. I held the throttle to the handle bars for 10 - 20 minutes at a time. Say what you want about the Bombardier motor - but it's been nothing but good to me.
I don't care what kind of fuel management system you got, at WFO the same amount of gas is dumping through that motor.
