    Whats a tenna buy you in litres? Its over 10L if your local charges over £1 per litre.

    10 litres = 2 UK gallons

    So your getting roughtly 45mpg, which seems normal for a sport setup 70cc ped.

    My zip was getting roughtly that on a polini iron kit too.

    Well actually, when you consider unleaded is what, probably nearing £1.15 a litre. He's probably getting 9 or just under litres.

    Although 10 litres is 2.1 gallons so it is probably about 2 gallons, so your 45mpg is about right...

    Depends what you want, you sacrifice power for economy and vise-versa.

    Anything more than a sport 70 setup and your drinking as much as a car!!

    a tenner was getting me 20 miles... dont be a winging pussy. tunning p[eds is ALL about huge petrol consumption from a tiny engine :D


    and yes, the last couple months it has gone from a quid to close to 1.30 in some places (so call it 1.20) this means your automatically getting 1/5th less fuel than when you last rememberd... dont go by fuel cost, go by litres

    90 miles to £10? That's terrible, I'd get rid of some of your set up cause that's gonna be so expensive :eek:

    I mean bloody hell, my suzuki's only 49cc but I get good speeds and it's got a 6.8 litre petrol tank :mrgreen: I average 130 miles to the gallon and it uses shit all oil

    45 to the gallon thats not that bad LOL ?
    For a 50cc scooter yes it is. but its far from that...

    Why did you tune the scoot if you didnt know that it would do less mpg ?

    thats the first thing i took into account when doing my rep build.
    I could hardly manage 50-45 on £30 ema to and from college 15 round trip everyday.

    I could probably get 140 miles out of a full tank if im lucky on the zip! with just a 50, pipe, 60jet.

    Heck petrol is cheap! and its cheap fun. :D
