That's because you have the new Hybrid engine.

I get 53 mpg and could careless what anyone else gets. There are way too many factors to have a general consensus on avg. mpg. All I know is it's better then the 13 mpg I get in my Ram. Long live the KLX!

The numbers are meaningless without units. MPG? Which gallons? KML? L/100km? How big a tank?

LOL!...it is nice to have the fuel when needed on the Acerbis, isn't it? I'm preparing to join up with some riding buddies in CO in a couple of weeks, and it's great not to have worry about fuel bottles and gas stations for the full day's ride like many are. I leave my tank on all the time and just don't fill it up for local or short trail rides.

Full day crap! I can't ride more than a couple of hours without needing fuel. Hit reserve at 80 miles in 1.3 hours when cruising highway.

It's like having a bladder the size of a peanut. Always having to stop and fill.
