Next week I will get my new 650 which is the 1st one in Israel. We are group of guys who takes long trips in the desert and I would like to know if somebody checked the gas mileage, Especialy on 650 that has been used for a while.
One of the reason I ordered the 650 is the large fuel tank. My polaris 700 travel about 60+ miles on a full tank.
Thanks

My prairie gets about 15 miles per gallon. Which translates to 15 mpg - 4.5 gal. tank= 60miles to a tank of gas give or take a few miles. Depends on if im on the throttle

My '02 Prairie 650 was 18.5 mpg at best, the '03 P650 was 22mpg best, 16 mpg low and the avg was 19mpg.
My Cat 650 is still to new, so I really haven't been keeping tabs on the MPG. After I get some more miles on I'll start checking the mpg.

ISREAL!! wow! I'm not sure yet I should have been keeping better track. I know that it's better than I thought it was going to be. I hope someone else knows, I want to know also. If not, the next time I go out I'll keep track. (this weekend)
