My 06 Attak probably gets 13-14 miles per gallon and the highest I've seen the speedo is 122.

Apex is a much better sled. Ride, seating position, and power, are much better.

Re: 06 apex
I got 17.6 to a Cdn Gallon on my 2006 Apex GT on Saturday. Trails were hard and fast though so mileage was reaaly good. Also had a buddy with me who only rides once a year so I was not pushing real hard.
I used to have a Warrior, and when running both sleds in the same conditions the Warrior/ RX1 usually got 1.5 mpg better mileage than the Apex. Horsepower takes fuel and the apex has about 12 % more horsepower and burns about 12 % more fuel.
Awseome sled. You will enjoy an Apex. I love my Supercharged RX1 but I only ride it about 20 % of the time when I want to put my 2 stroke buddies on the trailer. The bulk of my riding is on my Apex GT.
Regarding your Houlton sled deal, I might be able to get you something as good or better here in N.B. If you want to talk, PM me your number and I will give you a call. [I am not a dealer. Just thinking I might sell my Apex GT]

14mpg
Normal trail riding I typically see 15-17mpg. Busting through fresh powder or ditch banging I've seen as low as 10.

consistently over 16 mp(US)g, but that's not hammering the gas very much. I wouldn't trade a couple mpg to go down in hp or back to carbs!

07 Attak gets 13-15 miles per gallon USA gals & run pretty hard. I'm happy with my Yam mileage.. my bud with doo XP 800r only gets 9-10 & he pours oil into the thing every 80-90 miles ..what a pig 2s. My 2nd year of 4s about 4500 miles & convinced cost of opertaion of 4s is much less than 150hp 2s any brand.

Had an 03 RX-1, now have the 07 Attak. Can't compare the sleds. RX-1 was short track & might have been slightly faster top end & got about 1-2 mpg (Canadian) better than my Attak. Hole shots & corner to corner kook up/excelleration MUCH better with the Attak. WE did 502 km (300 miles) in one day this season on the attak in Southern NB, a huge day, but was not sore at all at the end of the day & could have went further. Never could have done that on my RX-1, after a few 300 km days I always felt like I was beaten with a baseball bat.
The 136" attak is much easier to handle around corners than my RX-1 was as well.
Apex vs RX-1, easy choice for me Apex, hands down is the better sled. Still getting 15-16 mpg & I ride hard (wish my Jeep TJ got that type of mileage). Riceburner is in Saint John & his comments are very accurate & similar to my expierience.
