Having just changed my PCX 2012 to a 2018 model I was interested to see if the fuel consumption was any different. Over a seven year period, I averaged 125 mpg on the early one and after three fuel ups on the latest model It shows an average of 150 mpg.
I find this hard to believe and as the latest model has digital screen I regularly look at the average mpg display. It registers a high 160 most of the time. I was also curious about this display. After a fill up, and re setting the trip and average to zero. It registered over 80 mpg even before I had completed half a mile, I have now done 5miles and it is displaying 170 average mpg. Not sure how this is meant to work and wonder if it is just not working properly.
I would be interested to hear any comments on this please,

Re: Average mpg
I have a 2013 PCX [w/o the computer] and routinely get around 130 mpg USA [during summer] Think with "your" gallon, 150 mpg may be accurate.
My Forza does have the computer and it agrees with a calculator [close] much of the time. Really amazing [accuracy]. Enjoy your new ride..........

That's exactly as you would expect and its working correctly.Keith wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 5:04 am After a fill up, and re setting the trip and average to zero.

When you zero the trip you start with an indicated average of 0 mpg, when you start moving the average increases.
Further you travel, the more accurate the average reading becomes.

Re: Average mpg
2019.
The poor little guy never leaves San Francisco and its attendant traffic, which is why I bought it. So, mid to low 90s mpg. There's not even an easy way to get out of the City on a small scooter.
If I'm gonna go up or down the Pacific Coast Highway I take the Bonneville.

Re: Average mpg
I get about ~70 mpg when riding my 2013 model non-stop WOT @ 74 mph.
I get about ~75 mpg when riding my 2016 model non-stop WOT @ 70 mph.
I sure wish I could get better gas mileage *and* maintain my speed. I believe that a CTX700 or NC700/750 should actually pull similar mileage numbers at these speeds... which is very interesting to me.
