I'm interested in what approximate gas mileage folks are getting with their 1000-5's. Also what grade Fuel are you using? E.g. premium, low octane, no ethanol?

Gas milage? Thats a loaded question for a sxs lol. What conditions, tires size stock 27,28,29,30,31? Not to bust your balls but i didnt buy one for the milage lol. I couldnt tell you the average miles i get out of the tank it varies so much with where and how i ride lol. I can tell u the type of gas i use tho. I like to use Rec fuel when i can and mid grade when no rec fuel is available. But when Biden closed the Keystone pipe line screwed us all! and the price of fuel right now, rec fuel is crazy expencvie.I'm interested in what approximate gas mileage folks are getting with their 1000-5's.

Typically I get around 20 mpg. If running some of the more treacherous trails with a lot of crawling in low range, the mileage drops to around 15-18. I won’t own anything that needs anything but regular gas.I'm interested in what approximate gas mileage folks are getting with their 1000-5's. Also what grade Fuel are you using?

System3 XTR 350’s 10x14x28 and not a lot of highway. Didn’t really see any mileage difference from the factory 27’s.Stock tires or aftermarket?
Interesting. I have 30”LT’s and there a slight bit heavier than std UTV tires. Your RPM also changes with the bigger wheels also. Would be interesting in a full tank. on lets say dirt road normal driving to see the difference in a tank. From what u have said, id say with my driving im getting 15ish lolSystem3 XTR 350’s 10x14x28 and not a lot of highway. Didn’t really see any mileage difference from the factory 27’s.
You have to remember I’m in Arizona, no mud, occasional stream crossings and some fairly grainy sand in most of the washes. It’s not blow sand like Utah but decomposed granite. Lots of rocky trails.System3 XTR 350’s 10x14x28 and not a lot of highway. Didn’t really see any mileage difference from the factory 27’s.

I was reading/following this post and wondered how far a tank of gas would get. I don't have mine yet but wondered if getting an add-on or carry-with gas can would be an option to consider. Thanks for the input.Around 100 miles per tank.
You should at least get a 100+ miles on a tank unless you're doing some all day long, slow rough trails. If they're that slow and rough, you won't be covering a 100 miles in a day anyways. I always take fuel when I know I'm potentially doing a 100 miles but I've yet to actually need it.Remington, thanks for the reply. You're right, it was kind of a loaded question but wasn't intended to be. I actually made some assumptions which I should have stated and didn't. I didnt think anyone bought one of these to do any racing or intense 'sport' activities? For the most part I'm leaving my tires stock. If I were going to cruise around the community or stay on asphalt, you can get golf carts alot cheaper than we're paying for these DLX's and LE's. I'm planning on using mine for 'Overlanding' and other offroad, cross country travel. Some overlanding can and usually does include travel on gravel or asphalt roads. So I will be getting a set of DOT all terrain tires to augment the stock tires should a particular trip need to be on road? I have three side by side currently. An older Kubota RTV 900 diesel which I use around my property and on hunting trips. A CAN AM Maverick XRS which I enjoy riding dunes and desert terrain. I just bought a new 21 10005 DLX to travel and camp on extended overland rides, e.g the Arizona Peace trail, the Paiute, Arapeen, and many others. Most all will be a variety of roads to also some difficult stretches with everything in between. My specific reason for the milage question was to use as a starting point for planning on how much spare fuel Ishouuld consider on some extended trips I'm planning. Thanks to all who replied.

I have had one in my machine for years. You never know when youll need it. Ive needed it once and bailed another rider out another.I was reading/following this post and wondered how far a tank of gas would get.

Thats cool your able to nail it down to The specifics.Remington - I've been trying to nail down the mileage in my 2021 P1K5 LE with stock tires. I do distance So. Utah rides and prefer to ride and not walk out.
So far, I'm between 15 to 20 mpg. The P1K5 seems to have a flat and wide gas tank, so if you are not level when filling you can add a fair amount of fuzz in the math.
Per other posts, I carry a Jerry can with extra fuel when going deep off road.
This is on Seven Mile Rim north of Moab a few weeks ago.

Even people with heavy duty trucks like to know how far they can go before before having to refuel. As erratic as the Honda gas gauges are it’s a good idea to know how much extra gas to pack along. Hitch hiking on a highway for gas is a lot easier than hiking in the back country for 25 miles because your gauge was off. The difference between 18-19 Mpg empty and 11-1/2 Mpg loaded with a 30 gallon tank is a lot of miles.reminds me of people who buy a heavy duty truck and concerned about gas milege
