I Hit 100 MPG! (1987 Honda Elite 150 Scooter)
 

I've owned my 1987 Honda Elite 150 Scooter for 3+ years and always averaged around 70 to 75 mpg, but this year I decided to do a few things to improve my mileage.

• First thing was to change the spark plug to a NGK Iridium Plug,
• 2nd, I changed the air filter,
• 3rd thing I did was bumped the tire pressures to the max rated on the bike and added 2 psi,
• 4th thing I did was to install a bypass switch to allow the bike to be started in-the-fly, so that I did not have to press the rear brake to start the scoot
• and FINALLY, no more FOT (full open throttle) unless absolutely necessarily.

I have to say, going from 70.7 mpg to 100 mpg is pretty good if you ask me :)

Used 1.01 gallons for 101 miles

congrats. keep up the good work

Congrats, Jim!

Hope you don't mind I fleshed out your thread title & added bullet points in your post.

I'd like to put this on the home page - don't suppose you have a pic of your scooter??

I will take a picture tomorrow, never took one yet since I purchased new plastic when I bought it but never got the time to change it, but it does not look bad....

Thanks for fixing the title and adding bullets.

Cool :8

Here is a picture of the scoot.

Thanks! Added to the front.

Wonderful! I have always admired the Honda Elite scooters.. keep up the greatness my friend!

nice job

Thanks for the comments guys, another 100 mpg tank today, wish I could go higher but with the auto trans, its hard to do much EOC.
