Wondering if anyone out there in Spreeland could tell me the approximate gas mileage of a 86 Spree 50cc.....?!?!?



Thanks!!

well, stock, they're said to achieve 100-130.... but i can only believe that if the driver turns off the spree when going downhill, and using his feet to climb hills... flintstone style..

just remember - modifying the engine means more gas use

NO.

It's not a high compression engine, premium won't help and might hurt the engine.
projects galore :nerd:

you definitly dont need premium fuel, the piston doesnt have enough compression to handle it, besides, standard unleaded is way cheaper.
