With the 800 class is there a big fuel milage distance between and crossfire and a m-8 with a 153 track, based on flat land riding in powder and little trail riding. Does anyone have any ideas, havuing trouble deciding between the two. Any help would be appriciated
Crossfire vs M series fuel Milage

I dont know about the 8s but my M7 gets way better mileage than my buddies XF7. He takes about $5 more every fillup. I think its because his sled has to work harder to get through snow that I dont even realize is powder.
My '08 M8 153 consistently gets better fuel mileage than a friends CF700 and his Mtn Cat 600 EFI 136.
If you're worried about the cost of gasoline, stay out of the sport or buy a 4-stroke or direct-injected Doo. Can't believe I just said that.

the difference in fuel consumption is probably just gearing. my m7 and m8 do quite well on gas
My M6 141" is HORRIBLE on gas....I usually get about 8.5mpg
What is the size difference between the 2 tanks? Or are they the same?

I have a 08 m8 and before that i had a m7 both sleds have 153 inch track and the m8 gets consistantly better milage then the m7 about 20-30 percent better and even better yet over the ski-doo 800s. I think if you buy a m8 or crossfire 8 you will be happy with the gas milage.
The XF tank is bigger by a little more than a gallon. I get 11mpg on my M, friend gets closer to 7/8 on his XF. But another friends 08 M8 gets closer to 15mpg. But hes still learning so the throttle doesnt hit the bar too often.

Just get a M with a 141 and you have the best of both worlds
I don't care about how much it cost for fuel and no 4 stroke ****. I am up in Canada and am debating between M or x/f. I have a mountain cat right now and i like powder riding but we also do some trail **** and i would like to get a M series.
And i didn't think the M came in a 141?

'07 was the last year for a 141" M.
Now for '09, a 141" Crossfire would be a reasonable choice but if it were me, I'd go M 153" minimum. Short tracks are good for lake racing and nothing else.

I think I agree with you, i'm not into the hole racing **** anyways, I was just curious thats all I think i will go with the M-8 sno pro 153 i think i will be ok with that
