New Ten Tank Average MPG for 170i

Post by GregsBuddy »

Hello,
From odometer mile 7104 to 8139 my 2015 170i used 10.404 gallons of 91 octane fuel.
This calculates to 99.481 MPG.
Many of us have agreement that the 170i has a pretty accurate odometer so this average MPG should be quite accurate as well.
My riding is usually in 10 - 11 mile increments with about five miles of that riding at about 50 - 55 MPH indicated.
My tires are pressured to 30 PSI and I ride corners at about 65% of maximum as much as possible. This scoot' loves corners.
I accelerate at ~50% of maximum which usually puts me slightly ahead of auto traffic off the mark.
YMMV

Both my Buddy 170i and Buddy 125 have speedometers/odometers off by at least 10% overstated. My friend's Buddy 150 is also off by 10%. Check your odometer against a GPS to confirm accuracy.

I have checked the odometer on this 170i and have found that it's within 1-2%. Indicating slightly further travel than actual.
The speedo indicates about 10% fast.
