Well on my first two rides this year I didnt fill up between rides because I wanted to get a full break in with the oil in the tank. I got 78 miles out of one tank. First ride was about 3' fresh and powder playing all day. Second ride was about a foot of fresh and about half day of powder play and other half breaking trail with about 8" of fresh. I was very impressed with the economy of this sled. A+ in my book

What elevation were you riding at?
After what I was seeing last seaon with some friends riding Pro's I decided I would buy one for myself almost solely for the fuel economy. My old UBR 900 is sure fun to ride but at 4 MPG and 40% of that being VP110, it was horribly expensive to operate. My new Pro gets 6.5 MPG when ragging on it and 7.5 to 8 MPG when cruising down the trail between 60 and 70 MPH. Personaly I can't speak for the others, although I have heard from some e-tech owners that they get 9 MPG when running it hard.
Between 10,000 - 12,000 ft.
I have an ETEC and a Pro. The ETEC seems to get about 30% better mileage base on how much it takes to top them off after a ride but it is so hard to compare. Even riding together no sled covers the exact same distance and 2-3 long hard hill climbs can really skew the results. I will know more after a season of averaging it out.
The E-Tec is not the fuel & oil economy champ that people say it is. At least not for the way that I ride it's not. My '11 E-Tec seems to use just as much of both as my '07 XRS did. My buddy's '11 Pro 155 consistently used less gas & oil than my E-Tec whenever we filled up last year. He maybe rides a little less hard than I do, but I bought a Pro 155 Retro this year, if that tells you anything.
Put the first ride on my pro last weekend. Burned half a tank and put on 52 miles.
What kind of power does an 07 XRS make? 120hp maybe. And the Etec 150-160 prolly. Lot's more power for same gas seems pretty efficient to me.
07 XRS is virtually the exact same motor that Doo ran from 08-10 in the XP. The 800r which was rated at 151 HP. I'm coming off a 2008 Doo and it had the best economy until the etec came along. Unless Poo has really improved the economy over the Dragon motors, I really don't see it being better than the Doo.
I'd be glad if it was better though, as I'm looking at picking up a Pro.

well of coarse the xrs got great mpg's less fuel burned when its on a tow rope
I had to do it.
our last trip the proclimb ran out, then we added 2.5 gallons and it almost ran out when we got to the truck, poo used a full tank, and the etec used 29liters, i would say they were ran about the same all day, proclimb was a real pig
we have one etec that runs a a/f gauge on it and if your running the trail it is 18 to 20, only time it gets down to 13 to 1 is when its pined, might be why the mileage is that much better than the others
