On my 2019 with close to 2K mileage. In Summer I was getting at least 32-33 mpg, now in Fall season if I added Stabilizer then I am getting 29 mpg. Not sure why, but the trike is working fine.

Is this the normal on the mpg for a trike, or will it get better after getting some miles on it. Presently have 760 miles.
thanks

Congrats on your new ride, and welcome to the world of 3 wheels! They can be a lot of fun!!!

Like already said, you'll get a bit better when broken in, and mpg varies greatly depending on terrain, wind and how much you twist the throttle.

That said, you have a 6 gallon tank, and if you're getting 30 mpg you should be able to go 180 miles, 160 to be safe, if you're filling it up all the way.

Probably a big factor in the mpg change is the difference between summer and winter fuel blends.
