Gas Mileage

What do you guys figure the mileage should be for a 2001 mxz 800? Most of my runs are in the trails w/ very little open throttle space. Right now I'm only getting about 8mpg which makes it tough to do a decent run w/o worrying about refueling. trying to figure out if my carbs are dumping too much fuel, or I'm not getting complete combustion.
Thanks,

My 97 MXZ670 gets about 10-12 on a good day. A lot of it has to do with riding style too, WOT or conservative.

Check your plugs. If they are a dry, dark brown color, you're OK.If they are black/sooty/wet, it's overfueling.
