poor gas mileage

i have a 800 xp 154 and riding in the steep and deep at franklin basin. i only got 45 miles out of a tank of gas and my brother has a 800 xp with a 146 and he only used less than 5 gallons. has anyone had this problem.
 
i have a 2007 xrs 159 and i have also had similar problems. I was leaving black streaks all over the snow from a very rich condition. Did u check your plugs? Are you leaving the black streaks when you put it to the grip? Ended up being a faulty dpm. which i no longer use.:eek: Was gettin around 45-50 miles to the tank.

Check your enrichener linkage, possibly it is on slightly. I saw a buddy chase that problem for 2 months on an XP. went thru jetting & needle positions (we had put in 07 adjustable needles) only to find out his choke was on a little bit. Adjusted the linkage & 100% now.
 
I've been having this same problem on my 06 rev and it turns out the Throttle Position Sensor is faulty. It is supposed to be done at the dealer tomorrow, so I haven't tested the mileage but they assured me this was the problem.

Two other things that could easily cause it:

the air temperature sensor being disconnected in the airbox

the DPM being faulty for one of two reasons: there is a vacuum leak in a hose or in the unit itself, or the solenoid is faulty/disconnected
