Fuel range on Phazers?

Took a few Phazers out for a boot at our local demo rides and had a great time. Think it makes a great second sled to zip through the bumps and twisties. The FX seemed to be the one I liked best. :flag:

I’m curious on what type of range everyone is experiencing on the 30 L tanks? Would I get 100 miles if I were heavy on the throttle?
Thanks

On my first tank of gas got 17 mpg and went 120 miles with 3/4 of a gallon left. I wasn't balls out but close so I can't believe you won't get 100 miles out of it. "With the sled wide open allot." :4STroke:
 
seems like good fuel economy! I also seen a sticker by fuel tank that it requires 91 octane?
I sometimes only have the option for garbage fuel, hope it does well with 87-89.

I've had similar fuel economy as the other posts with my FX while riding open trails with the big iron.

Translation: I spent most of the time with the throttle pinned whilst watching all my Apex friend's tail lights and snow dust disappear into the distance and wishing that I had brought mine. :o|

As for the 91 octane, the Phazer engine prefers that level but will derate with lower octane. If the fuel is real bad you'll get a warning light. For what it's worth, I ran a tank of 87 at mostly WOT and never saw the "knock" light. It does seem a lot more "crisp" with the proper fuel though.

Hope that helps answer your question.

Yes I can picture that on our lakes lol. I’m not really sure if I want to be that black dot in the horizon in the middle of the lake while everyone is waiting on shore, but these Phazers will eat the Apex on our twisty trails which get ruff quickly. Hard to believe I can scoop up a Phazer cheaper then a turbo mod for my Apex. Being so close to the release of the 08s, I think it may be worth the wait for a bit more muscle in a Phazer like chassis. Maybe a 120-130 Phazer like sled and add boost? Hmmmm. In that case I won’t need my Apex. I'll eagerly wait a few more weeks..

Knowing your location, I thought it appropriate to share the perspective. ;)!
 
Rode 200 miles at 6000 feet elevation and alot of wide open throttle running to keep up with the group and averaged 18 mpg.
