Hellow there riders from around the world

Rider · 02-23-2012, 06:12 PM

Can someone tell me about the consumption of the gz250 in liters please, the ex owner from wich i have bought my bike said that inside the town its consuming 3,5-3,6 liters and that outside towns 3 liters/100km, what can you tell me guys about the consumption?
I am a little upset somehow i can say it that i havent bought an GZ or an TU 250, they are not that long and the fenders are made from metal not plastics...
I talked with an engineer from another city and he told me that he can make the same marauder250 front fender as the original one but from steel with 90euros, but thats available here in my country, he also mentioned after i asked him that the difference in weight is not that big.

3.6 liters/100 km = 78.5 miles per Imperial gallon 3.0 liters/100 km = 94 miles per Imperial gallon

3.6 liters/100 km = 63 miles per U.S. gallon. 3.0 liters/100 km = 75 miles per U.S. gallon.

Don't get too upset with plastic fenders. The GZ and many other bikes have all sorts of plastic pieces to keep overall weight and cost down. Plastic doesn't rust either.

I fill the tank every 200 km. It takes around 7 litres. That's 3½ litres per 100 km. Most of my riding is around town.

What's your fuel price? Here it's around €1.04 per litre. (4.5 leu/litre)

Here in NW Florida gas is $3.74 per gal or .99 per litre

New York its $3.99 a gallon, and more in some other areas close by.

Here it is $127.5 per liter ($5.99 per gallon) :poorbaby: :cuss:

Now a $1.379 a liter. $6.26 per Imperial gal or $5.01 U.S gal. .$30 to fill the Vstrom from empty. We won't even talk about my little Ranger pick-up.

Just done a conversion, and it's amost the same to the cent as I'm paying. I fill the car up when it drops to around a third of a tank. costs the equivalent of $41. That's just one of the reasons we go everywhere we can on the GZ.

This world economy thing is giving me a headache. I blame the politicians. I can buy Canadian gas cheaper in the U.S. :??: :??:
