One thing that I do when I get a bike is I run it out of fuel so I can have a idea how far I can go and how much fuel it will really hold. There are a lot of variables concerning mpg. I also live on a mountain, going up and down the mountain is what hurts my mileage.
I use the trip meter. The fuel guage sucks.
Once you learn what your over all mileage is you don't have to be concerned. The mileage on our WG with SS106 is around low of 36 and high is around 46. Depends on riding conditions. Hope this helps.

About a week ago I rode with the intent on getting the fuel low light to come on so I have good idea of actually mileage to expect before the spring riding season hits. Just changed plugs, plug wires, installed K&N filter and Rinehart slip-ons. Have a lot of multi-day trips on tap and will be riding with mixed group of other bikes. Knowing fuel range for each bike helps us plan our stops.
Anyway, after 165 mi of mostly hwy riding the light has yet to come on. 165 mi with 3.89 gal fill-up averages +/- 42 mpg.
Using basic math (that's my limit) I figure at 175mi the light will be on. So the 160-165 mile mark is about as far as I want to go before looking for gas station. I don't want to run an FI bike w/fuel pump dry. In an emergency I figure I could go somewhere around 200+ before I'm out of gas.
Have read that 42 mpg is in the average range for the 96ci dyna.
As they say, your mileage may vary.
BTW: the HD manual for my 09 SGC (FXDC) states fuel tank capacity is 5.0 gal, did they make the 2010 tank smaller?
