PS. If you have a manual shifting ATV then you have more opurtunites to use less gas.
Automatic ATV's are good but they end up using more gas.
In low gear the motor turns more, than it does in high gear, so it uses more gas.
And an automatic, the motor has to turn faster to get the same results as a manual transmission, because of the torque conver,
Faster motor means more rpms = more gas use.
