I get 80 to 100 depending on bike and how it's driven (terrain).

i dont know milage(no speedo cable) but mine isnt very good, but i go up a HUGE hill daily, i think downhill kills more on gas because the engine has to keep up with the wheels so that means to even go fast on the hills u gotta gas it. sucks they dont freewheel when you let go of the gas

On a tank? That brings up another (simple) question: How big IS the tank on this monster?

I definitely meant MPG (US Gallon) not per tank.

Does the factory owner's manual state a mpg?

No tips really, I just have two speeds - idle and wide open. Relatively unlevel terrain (central Michigan). Most riding is 50 miles or more per trip. All four machines average the same thing.

Four Sprees (soon to be 5) and two (daily) but sometimes four riders per outing
