What gas mileage are you getting over what type of terrain? So my riding is desert, with a combination of dirt roads, sandy washes, rocky hill climbs and descents; speeds from crawling to stretches I can open it up. One of my big concerns with the Talon was the 7 gallon gas tank. My RZR 800 had that, my 1000 9.5 gallons. Both with a reliable range of 120 miles, though on one ride I got 147 miles on my 1000 with .1 left in the tank.
Here is what I am getting in the Talon: (filling tank to top of the fill spout)
1st ride 104.4 mi 7.6 gallons / 13.73 mpg / 27.8 mph moving average / max speed 68.6 mph
2nd ride 93 mi 6.36 gallons / 14.6 mpg / 23.6 mph moving average/ max speed 76.4 mph
3rd ride 91 mi / about 6 gallons / 15 mpg / 20.7 mph moving avg / 56.9 max (using 3 gallon tank to fill from)
4th ride 87 mi about 5 to 5.5 gallons 15.8 - 17.4 mpg (using 3 gallon tank to fill from) forgot to start gps
5th ride 83.7 mi / 5.51 gallons / 15.19 mpg / 24.6 moving avg / max speed 70.1
(Avg and max speed measured by gps, running 30" tires, speedo shows about 3 mph slower)
So at 15 mpg avg that gives a range to empty 108 miles. I was hoping it would get better say 20 mpg then the 7.2 gallon tank would make sense. I carry a 3 gallon rotopax tank so 135 mi about it?

- My buddy's new RZR Pro got 15 mpg riding with me on ride #5 with a 12 gallon tank his range is 180 miles.
