NEW 2015 PCX 150--Mileage Report

Post by YoungStranger »

Hi guys. I recently purchased a "used" 2015 PCX 150 (white). I say "used" since the guy who owned it bought it for his girlfriend on Valentines Day. She put 12 miles on it and told him she didn't want to ride. So 20 minutes after he posted it for sale on Craig's List I logged on looking for a PCX. He was 5 miles from my house so I zipped over and bought it. ($2,800) It was licensed and ready to rock. This scooter is a kick in the butt! I filled the gas tank to the fill bar with 125 miles on it. Exactly 200 miles later I filled it again to the fill bar and it took 1.93 gallons. If my math is correct, that's 103 miles to the gallon. I weigh 190 lbs. and I was riding it very gently during the break in period. Just city putting not much over 45 mph at any time. I changed the oil and cleaned the filter screen at 301 miles. No metal in the screen/filter but there was some lint which I thought was a little strange.....? It did not take a full quart of oil. Had a small amount of oil left over in the bottle.....so maybe like 9/10 of a quart of oil to fill to the top of the fill mark on the stick.

I am not expecting to get quite this level of economy once I start riding it a little harder but man....... this is an efficient little bugger.

So, my apology to all of you claiming 100 miles to the gallon on this site. I thought ya'll were smoking "that which is now legal here in Orygun!"

Peace, and scoot safe.......

I get between 95-100 mpg (41-43 km/l) here in Bangkok and surrounding areas. And that is in traffic. I also have a 2015 PCX but with 1800 miles (3000 km) on it.

The fuel economy is great, isn't it?

I find the built in mpg gauge is only a few mpg out compared to true figures - litres in and trip miles covered. My PCX doesn't like petrol much as it only takes a little sip not big gulps - worse case 127mpg (winter and not broken in yet) and best 142 (2 months ago). This is urban commuting no fast roads, fast off at lights, 30 usual with some at 40 (most roads 30 and lots of cameras everywhere so not bothered riding legal limits)
