Hi Al: ____Not exactly although you are in a continuous state of P&G when off-road... You can achieve 50 mpg + while climbing said hairy rocks on the KTM 690 if you are easy on the throttle which is pretty darn amazing considering this activity is brutal on hybrid, non-hybrid and diesel automobiles when trying the same ___Good Luck ___Wayne
