Per Wikipedia, Honda claims the Ruckus returns 114 miles per US gallon in EPA testing......Bronsin = 146 MPG with a much bigger engine.

^Thanks! Had to custom mod that one myself. Not the best visibility but it's fun to ride around at car shows or at the beach

BUSTED!

Actually Im getting the figure by saying there are six segments in the gas gauge. Each one worth .2 gallon. Ive gone 34 miles on one segment. So 5X34= 170 miles per gallon. (the last segment is worth almost .4 gallon)

I havnt in truth filled the tank, run an ammount of miles, refilled the tank and done the math. Which the the only REAL way to do it.

Im drunk on mpg power andd cant be trusted!

No....I was taking what you wrote as the gospel. I'm prejudiced against the EPA re thinking their estimates are too low (Gee...I wonder if the experience many of us have had with the Yaris would have anything to do with that !)

'drunk on mpg power' - LOL
