Today I let my Virago 250 run out of gas on purpose.
I carried some spare fuel so I could do this.
If you were on I-95N in Norwalk, CT, (in bumper to bumper traffic) about 5:00 PM today – yes, that was me.
If you refill to a level about one
inch from the top, the usable capacity
of the Virago 250 tank is 2.34 gallons.
Tank capacity 2.34 gallons total
1.68 gallons Main .66 gallons Reserve
I do not always fill the tank that high – so keep in mind that if you don’t fill to about an inch from the top, it won’t hold as much. For example, your usable capacity might be 2.2 gallons.
A worthy test for the useful knowledge.
My wife will confirm, I have never run out of gas.
That is good. My wife will confirm that I did run out of gas last year (the plastic gas tank experiment). But I forgot to tell her about running out of gas on purpose on I-95 the other day….
How far will your 250 Virgo go on one tank in kmph
Hi aaron,
I added a chart to the posting showing the range in kilometers.
