Default How many times have u filled ur tank in one day?

Yesterday I filled up three times. I went around 150 miles throughout the day running around. Granted my 48 sucks the 2 gals down pretty quick. Curious what is the most times anyone has filled up?

You only getting 50 miles per tank? That comes out to 25mpg if you put in 2 gal each time. Doesn't seem right.

The 3rd fill up is still in the tank. The light comes on between 50 n 6o miles. I'm in the country so I fill up when the low fuel lamp is on.

4, I think, maybe 5... 4.5 gallon tank. I usually fill up between 130-150 miles.

150 miles and three fill ups??? I just barely switch over to the res at 145! Usually if I'm actually riding I do around 300-400mi so figure 3 fill ups

How much are you putting in each time you fill?

Most in one day so far has been 3. Same size tank as you, but because I have a carbureted 883 I can do 100+ per tank and usually put 1.5-1.9 gal in when I fill.
