How can you improve gas mileage on a moped?

I would like to improve gas mileage on a MC-DO3B TAHITI 150cc Moped Scooter. It can go roughly 60mph+ and can get up to 80mpg but i would like to if i could improve the gas mileage even more. Any tips on tuning, new parts, or anything else that i can do to raise the mpg on my scooter. Thanks for your help|||Ride down hill with the wind on your back and loose weight !|||I use a fuel treatment that works very well i gained about 3-4 mpg average in town and on the highway


i found it at vitrafuels.com

|||Actually, if you are going downhill with the wind to your back, gaining weight would be a better idea.


But seriously, a good tight drive belt and heavier roller weights in your variator go a loooong way. Heavier weights mean higher top speed and poor acceleration of the line.

|||Oh, and the yaehoo below who said not driving gets great gas mileage clearly doesn't understand mileage. Sure, it's a joke, but 0 miles per 0 gallons is not good. Saves money though.

|||Fill it up with good CLEAN gas, push it to your destination by hand or petal only %26amp; check %26amp; refill the tank. You should get great gas mileage that way.





Plan B: Hitchhike and wait for a pickup that will load it up %26amp; drive you to your destination. Then check fuel level. You will be getting great gas mileage.|||Wear tight fitting clothes to reduce wind drag





Always drive in a racing tuck to reduce wind drag





Shut the engine off going down hills





Loose weight





Strip parts off the bike that you don't need.





Clean the air filter





Buy a non O-ring chain to reduce rotating mass





If it's old get new wheel bearings





Accelerate slower.





80mpg and your complaining.|||Get a product called "Sea Foam" and pour some in your fuel tank. It will clean out the carbs and make it run nicely. Once running optimally, your best bet for improving fuel economy (and performance) would be weight reduction.|||There's not much you can do.





You can try some sort of shell (egg shaped) to improve the aerodynamics but then you would look like a complete dork.








Good Luck.|||Change your fuel line to a smaller diameter so gas can barely trickle into the carb, keep your tires well inflated, and shut off the engine any time you are idling.|||hmm... i don't much about it .. but you could clean out the tank entirely that should give you more mileage or get a different motor|||Don't ride it. It already gets great mileage.|||Hmmm More pedal less vroom?|||you ARE joking ,right ?,magz ,did you change your name again and buy a bigger bike ?
