Is there any way to make my banshee better on fuel?

Methanol what do you mean?

methonal is an alternative fuel that runs cooler and makes more power. However he engine will use more fuel compared to gas giving you a lot worse fuel economy assuming both set up are tuned correctly. It also uses modified carbs like alcohol i think. He was being a smart ass. Ignore that post. People tend to do that here. It's sad and confuses new guys.

2-1 carb set up and 2-1 pipe

Not true. Ethan's bike has a single 33 pwk and it uses the same amount of fuel as my duner with 2 35 pwks. If you think about it the amount of fuel consumption is driven by how much the motor flows. Air flow through the carb is what affects the Venturi effect that draws fuel. More air = more fuel. Single carb will change velocity through the intake track but won't change flow. Single exhaust may choke it some but I don't think it would be noticeable over stock pipes.

 

 

Bottom line is a proper tuned stock bike should get amazing fuel economy.

 

I you want better fuel economy you are gonna have to sacrifice and get a slower bike. Almost like complaining that your Expedition doesn't get the fuel economy as your Focus.
