fuel type

ok.. im a little lost, i dont know what happened. i am using the milage tracker provide on this site and well something is not right. i filled up with mid grade gas my first fill up. then regular on my last one. mid grade says i got 62 mpg but when i just put in the info for regular it says 35mpg... does it really make that much of a difference? i dont think i changed much of my riding style. only real consideration i think is that the road they were working on finally had is speed limit raised. now instead of doing 60 down it doing 70 with traffic.

  • Sounds like an incomplete fill first time — limegreenlimey, Wed Jul 02, 2008 5:41 pm

  • your mileage has nothing to do with the octane level — M, Wed Jul 02, 2008 2:16 pm

    • The dealer told me to use premium. (n/t) — rudy, Wed Jul 02, 2008 4:37 pm

      • That's a half-informed opinion. — geekonabike, Thu Jul 03, 2008 10:46 am

      • look in your manual, it goes against what Kawasaki recommends — M, Wed Jul 02, 2008 4:45 pm

      • your thread was about your 250, not a twin-turbo car — M, Wed Jul 02, 2008 4:43 pm

        • Not to nit-pick, but I'm 99% sure you mean Ethanol (n/t) — emcviper, Thu Jul 03, 2008 1:01 am

          • you would be 100% correct (n/t) — M, Thu Jul 03, 2008 11:31 am

            • E85 standard good enough? (85% error, 15% correct) (n/t) — geekonabike, Thu Jul 03, 2008 11:42 am

              • I won't comment on the percentages! (n/t) — M, Thu Jul 03, 2008 12:01 pm

                • OK has M-85. Seriously. 85% methanol. — Wes, Thu Jul 03, 2008 12:27 pm

                  • Lots of trucks out here have "FlexFuel" labels. — geekonabike, Thu Jul 03, 2008 12:41 pm

                    • I have yet to see E85 or M85 in OKC or Tulsa area — M, Thu Jul 03, 2008 12:59 pm

                      • Shouldn't that be E10? — geekonabike, Thu Jul 03, 2008 1:18 pm

                        • yes, it is E10 that most stations have (my bad) — M, Thu Jul 03, 2008 1:28 pm

      • Your gas stations sell meth? (n/t) — emcviper, Wed Jul 02, 2008 4:26 pm

        • I'm sure that quite a few in East St. Louis have that drive-up service. (n/t) — M, Wed Jul 02, 2008 4:45 pm
