So I finally got to take my sled out for a ride tonight!! Damn it feels good!! 
lol But any who I left my garage with a half tank and rode 6 miles and burnt up over a quarter tank!! I did have to be the trail buster and had make to make em but is whats a average mpg with an srx? my sled is stock besides boysen reeds and a bender can. I'm just kinda shocked on bad it drinks gas!

Assuming the gas was old and you were wide open for a few miles?

The gauge can be quite misleading.I would fill it up re-set your trip meter and take your mileage when you fill it and see where you are.Mine stays on full for quite a while and then drops rather quickly.

As Swede said, don't rely on the gas gauge, it is highly inaccurate and does not respond in a linear way to the volume of gas in the tank. The only accurate way to determine gas mileage is to fill it up, go for a long ride, almost a tank's worth of riding and then refill it. I get as much as 15 mpg on my 2000 SRX (completely stock) while on long, saddlebag trips with open streches of cruising. I find the gas mileage varies a large amount depending on conditions and the type of trails/riding style.

Unless something is wrong with your sled I imagine your mileage is better than you realize.
