I bought a Polaris Lxt 550 last year and it’s been a great sled so far. I have about 1400km on it now and has worked great. The sled has no problem in moderate powder and is excellent on the groomed trails and off. It’s a very low maintenance machine which I like a lot and you can run it with barely any snow. I never really watched the fuel economy to much but the best I did so far was a 200km trip and when I fueled the sled up I had 3.5L in the tank but that was 150km of river cruising on hard pack and then the rest on tight hard pack trails.
I bought this sled for the price and functionality just because I wasn’t sure if I was going to use it to often but I could see myself now looking into a 4 stroke machine to get the great fuel mileage. If your going from a 800cc performance sled you might be a bit disappointed in s 550 fans performance, a 600cc or 4 stroke would be a much better bet.
