Ranger 700 or 800 range on full tank

superstition · 2010-05-24 21:40:36

New guy here! I'm looking to buy a 2010 Ranger 800 XP for driving back roads that are too rough for my truck. Any guess on how far I could go on the 9 gallon tank? Is there any kind of fuel reserve system or do you just run out and stop?

Also, what's the difference between the 800 HD model and the 800 XP? The dealer told me it was just power steering but it's $1,200 more expensive for the 800 HD. The only thing I can think of is it has a hydraulic pump for add on accessories. Anybody know?

Sorry if this was answered before. I did a search on the gas mileage question and saw only one post for an RZR. I'm looking forward to learning about these machines from you guys here

Thanks,

Rich

The mileage varies on how you drive them but they really don't get the best mileage anyways. I could get around 70 miles per tank on mine so figure around 9 mpg. also the one big difference between the H.D. and the XP is the restrictor plate that limits the H.P. to 40 H.P. If it is removed it will have the same H.P. as the standard RZR engine. Also one last thing is to remove the clutch limiter from the primary clutch to get more mile per hour....

No, those mods are only for the 2010 800 rangers. The 2006 and later can not get to much more top speed due to lower transmission gearing.

I get about about 80 miles putting back 5 gallons. The fuel warning comes on at about 4 gallons left in mine. They don't have the greatest sending unit from my understanding but I like the cushion because I have a bad habit of driving to the "E" even on my truck.

One other thing on the HD is a load leveler rear shock (automatic). doug
