[QUOTE="Jigaman, post: 252488, member: 641"] I have lots of experience with four different 97/98 polaris indy trail touring (488cc fan cooled) snowmobiles used for ice fishing and I have a question for the sledheads on here. These sleds are used only for ice fishing and are fantastic cheap, reliable machines but they get horrible fuel mileage. Reading forums on these same sleds the norm is in the low teens for MPG when trail riding. This last weekend we had two of these sleds on Winnipeg and got 4-5 mpg for the trip which is what we normally get. It was very rough so all our miles (about 60/machine) were going about 10-18 mph. Does the slow speed kill the mileage? my sled was pulling a heavy otter but my buddies wasnt pulling anything and he didnt do much better. Thoughts??? [/QUOTE]
