Before I got my 06 300 I had read about horrible gas mileage and the joke was they named them GasGas as they used twice as much fuel. Maybe in race mode, but for trail riding where you only need a crack of throttle in 2nd-4th to maintain a fairly fast pace, I'm running out of steam well before I run out of fuel with the Clark tank. My first tank of fuel with the stock tank and 180 jetting, I squeeked out 120km with only an ounce or 2 to spare. I've gotten 140km with the Clarke and a 175 main, and had more to go. Still don't know exactly how far I can go with it.
I ride with a bud who has a fairly lean jetted 400exc and he uses 4.5L to my 4L.
