Would like to know what miles per gallon most owners get with 660st and other turbo 660 cats. On the last ride, I was using about 95% as much fuel as the new f8 I was riding with. Both were riding about the same speed and driving easy on trails. I thought I would get better than the 15mpg I was getting. I am talking about the (larger) canadian gallon here. If replying, please specify canadian or american gallon. I only recently got this sled, and heard they were economical. Thanks...Bruce

I have an 05 T660 turbo and we get about 17 to 19 mpg when doing normal trail riding. Push it hard and it's is 15 - 16 mpg.

Pretty sure i'm averaging 19-20 mi/gal Cdn on the T660 T.T
but at 1000Km , i'm just past break in . I only 2-up with my wife so between us thats 325 lbs
Last trip we drove 198km of winding trails and 4-5 long ,high speed lake runs had 1/4 tank left .used 29L of gas . it might be me or just different riding conditions like Kopeck states but i swear i've been getting a little better milage with midgrade vs Regular .

I rode 575 miles last weekend with my 2005 st and averaged 17.96 MPG american. Rididng in the U.P. of Michigan at speeds between 55 & 30, with an occasional squirt up higher. Riding with a 570 Z I was useing about 3.5 gallons less on a fuel stop, I weigh about 100lbs more than the rider on the Z. I was very happy with the fuel MPG & I didn't use any oil either, compared to the 3.5 Qts he used. Going back up this weekend riding with 7 other sleds & different makes.

had an 05 T660 Turbo Touring...with me on it average 20 MPG (US) at an average rate of speed of 35 MPH...I weigh in at 185lbs...with the wife on it same speed range, she doesn't gun it to get there though, 23-25 MPG (US) and she weighs around 130lbs...if you goose it you will get less mileage...sold the sled with 3400 miles on her and still running strong
