The 22oz would work better on my bike. With only a 3.7 gallon tank to start with it would get me another 20 miles or so. I'd rather just stop for more coffee... :2vrolijk_21:

Ed, you get 120 mpg on that thing? What's your secret?  ;D

22 ounces is just over 1/6 of a gallon. At 40 mpg, that is about 7 miles.  :nixweiss: Are you holding out on us?

It's all down hill??? ::) Or maybe just wishful thinking on my part. If I run it as far as i dare I can get 125 miles out of 3.7 gallons. So I guess your math is closer to the truth. I'd be hoping that I'd at least be pushing the bike 7 miles less.... ;)

I'd love to have an extra gallon or two and have thought about the little 1 gal plastic jugs too. The MSR bottles are neat, but at only 22 oz. I question the benefit unless you carry a six pack.

:indian_chief:
Chuck, they have a 33 oz size also.  Not a lot but 10 to 15 miles might make a difference.

The danger of one of these type bottles exploding is all but non-existent, unless you tied them to the exhaust pipe.  They are very durable...I have some that I've owned for nearly 30 years, and they've been dropped on rocks, stumps, pavement, etc...never leaked, and never punctured.

The interior of my saddlebag does not get hot enough to worry about one of these things blowing up.
