do the Vectors get much better mileage then a 2003 Viper ? I am thinking about getting one. Was there much difference in performance between the prototype Vector and the production model ? Gas has it 104.9 a liter here today. :o|
Just a little update on that. Here in Ontario (Oshawa) 121.4/L :die
 

Only getting 12 (10 US) on my 06 still trying to figure out why. The 2 times I had it out it ran real good but got blown away at the pumps by a variety of 2 strokes. we were in the bush 80% of the time so we were not running very hard. If any one has any ideas please check out my thread "12 miles per gallon 06 Vector"

If by "in the bush" you mean boon-docking, wilderness, powder heaven? That's probably your problem. sled has to work hard in the powder.
 
MPG'S

Well I have a 2005 Rage and from day ONE I have been getting 20/22 MPG. Also have a 2001 SXR 600 tripple, and a 1998 XTC 600 twin and they average 18/20 MPG. These sleds are stock all 3 have 6500 miles on them.
 
went for a long 600 mile ride last year. our 2008 rs vector ltx gt's averagered 19-20 every fill up. our 2010 rs vector ltx gt's averaged 18-20(not broke in yet) and last but not least....our 2001 ski-doo 500 averaged 14-16 mpg plus 3 liters of oil. safe to say you cant beat a yamaha for milage!!!! got close to 6000 km on the 2008's and not a problem yet!!!

Guys what kind of Mileage are you getting on your RS, Vectors, Rages and Ventures???
i have a 07 rs raga gt usually get 18 to 20 if im not on the throttle toomuch
 
Well
the first year and less than 300 miles 20+ looked like a good number. Now with over 1000 miles and various condition, my '10 Vector LTX GT averages 15 mpg. Not a lot better than my '06 Apex. Hey! It sure handles umpteen tiimes better, that makes it a winner for me.
 
In 1200 miles on my 2011 Vector GT I have averaged 17.1 mpg with a worst of 16.14 on the first tank and a best of 18.1 on the second tank so those 2 tanks most likely not filled up the same. I'm careful now to fill up the same amount and get 17 -17.8 each and every time.

Very consistent.
