You think it does over 100mpg? You only put in £4 or £5? 3.5 - 4litres?
2 stroke or 4 stroke.

I used to get 6 weeks from less than 12L

It's a Honda lead 2007 4 stroke goes about 55mph and prob doesn't help going full speed lol its a 7L but fill up at half a tank to full

I had a 50cc scooter 15 year ago and used it for work 4 mile round trip. About £5 filled the tank and it lasted 2 weeks, no idea about the MPG.

I rode to work on a kinroad 50cc trial style bike 50 mile round trip max speed 35 lol was a slow ride Chinese rubbish had lots of back end suspension problems so got a 101cc scooter Honda lead top speed 55mph so a bike quicker lol fast of the line

Had many bikes in my younger years. Used to run them until had to switch over to reserve and then fill up at the next petrol station. Never bothered to work out what the mpg was. Didn't seem important in those days - and I wasn't a rich kid either. Happy days...:)

I have a scooter , a tmax 500 , wish that did 100 mpg!


smaller older 2 strokes (ke125 and ts185) , by the time you add on 2t oil , it gets more economical riding a newer 4t


but I do like the smoke!

My 13reg Honda PCX 125 gets about 100mpg depending on how hard I ride it.

since the early 80s , oil has been in a separate tank and metered to the petrol by a pump

There you go lol I have wondered how they do it on 2 strokes all thought it was like when you top your petrol strimer or lawn mover lol

pappa_golf

no , they have been using a metered oil pump since the early 80s , tanks hold about 1.5 l , available in mineral , semi and fully synthetic , however a 1l of fully synth can cost you £12 ,


expect a good un to be using 40/1 but it still adds to the costs
