A pair of PCX 150s for us. My wife weighs about 50 pounds less than I do, her mileage is always better. Neither of us are babying the bikes to get the best mpg... I usually see around 100 mpg +/-, she gets around 106. I plan to refuel around 115 to 120 miles on the trip odometer, or when I'm down to one bar. The furthest I've pushed it is 125 miles, and used 1.28 gallons to top off the tank.

I'm in the US. I have very low mileage on my 150 (didn't get to my first oil change yet). I was able to go 140 miles on the last tank and I filled it to the top at 1.25 gallons. My figures show 110MPG. Will it get even better with more miles on it? I generally don't exceed 40 MPH on the local roads I use so maybe that's why I'm at 110.

If I'm not mistaken, I once managed 265 km between fill-ups, and I constantly do somewhere between 210 and 230 km per tank. This is on a 2012 125.

I have less then 600 miles on mine right now and I've average about 84 miles to the gallon. I am pushing 280lbs and most of my driving are on roads where the speed limit is 45-55 mph. Although most of the area where I drive is fairly flat there are some small hills I can encounter on my running around.

Keep in mind the last bar starts to flash when you still have .42 gallonsUS, 1.6 liters remaining which can take you 30 to 40 miles depending on your average. Honda specs state the tank holds 1.6 gallonsUS and I measured 1.65 gallonsUS. 6.25 Liters when I intentionally ran my PCX150 dry.

I had a similar thread on this issue before. I was able to get 306.1 km on a tank, I actually ran the tank dry and had to add fuel to make it to a gas station. I don't think I could do the same today, over time as I have approached nearly 20,000 km, my mileage has dropped off and maybe I need to have the valves checked?

Also, riding two up cuts mileage, when both of us are over 200#. (for you brits, we total at least 30 stone)
Also, giving it a bunch of gas now and then is part of the fun.
Still, I average 90 MPG, US, on a PCX150. I had a 125, I think it did slightly better.
I generally gas up at around 100 miles on a tank.
I have been tempted to carry a little bit of gas in a can, so I can run the bike completely out. Most I ever put in was 1.35 Gallons, and the last block in the gas gauge had been blinking a while.
Most distance between fillups has been 125 miles, How about YOU?
I'm convinced too. At highway speeds, the PCX 150's engine is pushed beyond cruising RPM, so fuel economy drops. I'm learning how to go places where I don't have to take the highways and use arterial roads where I don't have to travel more than 80km/h. So far at 60km/h to 80km/h, I get good mileage

My PCX150 can run for about 300 miles from full to dry on long range touring (lots of cruising). For city use the mileage will drop to around 180 miles (huge difference!)
I'm in Indonesia, ambient temperature average is 29 Celcius and I use Shell V-Power (RON94)

I'm no expert, but I associate low mileage with bad engine break-in process. Both our 2013 150 engines for my friend and I take 2.2-2.3 l per 100km city drive. During the first 50 to 500km I was getting 2.03 l per 100km (original oil). You are doing sonething wrong.

We now have close to 7,000 miles on our PCX 150. We take a lot of long 'day trips', which means that we will go and go until sunset. Then we go home. Our average tank full will get us between 120 to 180 miles.....the 180 was when we rolled into a gas station on fumes. My wife was riding the PCX and I was riding my Burgman 400. However, everything was in line for top mileage for that one run of 180 miles. I would NEVER do that again. I would have to say that 149 miles per tank would be a safe bet, depending on your weight, the wind, the road, etc. If you get a lot less than this, something is wrong with your bike.

149 miles/ 240 km would be pushing it. Many people would run out depending on your average fuel consumption. The USA PCX150 tank holds 1.65 gallonsUS/ 6.25L. If you get over 100 mpgUS/ 120 mpgImp/ 42.5 km/L / 2.35 L/100km, you can get 165 miles/ 265km. If you get only 90 mpgUS that day, you will run out at 148.5 miles/ 238km.

My PCX mileage dropped after I replace the stock exhaust with an Arrow M10. There's an increase of power thou...

My 125 averaged 112 mpg UK for the 6000 miles that I owned it. V impressive considering it would hold 60 mph all day and also I'm around 200lbs so definitely a great performance.
