Filed Under (Trip Journals) by Anthony StClair on 22-03-2008

  • Gas Price Per Gallon: $3.759
  • Gallons: 3.029
  • Fuel Total: $11.39
  • Tripmeter at fuel-up: 122km/76 miles (approx)
  • kpg/mpg (approx.) 40kpg/25mpg
  • Odometer at fuel-up: 268km/166.5 miles
  • Date & Time: Saturday, Mar. 22, 2008, 1:39 p.m.
  • Gas Station: Jacksons Store (Shell), 1809 W. 6th Ave., Eugene, Oregon
  • Fuel: “V-Power” 91 octane (some Ural owners say they don’t go for the high-test; I respect their opinions, but for my money, I’m going to listen to what the manual says and pony up the extra coins per gallon)

Notes on mileage: I feel a bit disappointed about the 25mpg mileage, but it’s not without hope. I’d have to check around to see, but if I remember correctly mileage improves after break-in. I believe my tires had also been low for the past couple of rides, and that would have negatively impacted the mileage too. Will be more diligent about checking air pressure.
