Title: XEvo 400 fuel consumption Post by: loonymoon on August 04, 2010, 18:13:44 I've been tracking the fuel consumption of my XEvo since day 1 and it's first full tank. 3456 miles in and 21 tankfuls of fuel later I'm still very impressed :wub:
Given that most of my riding is commuting with both high speed sections and filtering, the XEvo returned an average of 71.8mpg over those tankfuls with a minimum of 67.9mpg and a max of 76.9mpg. I'm getting an average of 163 miles out of a tank (going until about 1- 1.5L remains). In all that's about 10 miles per tank (or 5mpg) more than I used to get from the X8 400ie for exactly the same sort of riding. Lovely! I for one am still loving my XEvo, and the fuel economy is superb considering that I think the performance of the 400 master engine is also very good. Especially considering I had it off the speedo scale briefly a few days ago (over an indicated 110mph..... :redface: :redface: :redface:) not something I do often but.... :redface: Thinking about a J-costa variator though......:lol: :ebay: Title: Re: XEvo 400 fuel consumption Post by: BrianG on August 04, 2010, 22:59:27 'Thinking about a J-costa variator though......:lol:'

(just seen this one (http://cgi.ebay.it/Variatore-J-Costa-Piaggio-X-Evo-Xevo-MP3-400-07-08-/200399779702?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Ricambi_e_Accessori_Scooter&hash=item2ea8c1f776#ht_2523wt_1137) on Italian ebay 170EUR + 15EUR shipping... rather expensive).

Any increase in performance will be paid for with reduced mpg. ;)
