So I wasn't paying too much attention to my fuel gauge and I needed gas so I made a few side trips on my way to the gas station. The good station with ethanol free gas. I put 5.665 gals in my '13 ultra classic. Do you think I was a little low? Happy riding.

 

Just a tad low.

I had less than 10 miles on the gauge and I still only put 4 gallons in it.

 

I run my bike until it runs out of fuel frequently.
Then I reach down and turn it to reserve.

Carbs rule.

 

I put 5.2 gallons in my 5 gallon tank a few years ago on the way back from Sturgis at the only gas station in that town. I was as nervous as a preist at a cub scout meeting.

 

Yup been there before, I finally purchased one of those saddlebag gas cans after one of the guys I ride with ran out one day.

 

Outta town trips I invested in that little 1 gal jug that stows in back of your saddlebag... Used once or twice...lol

 

Has anyone gotten 6 gal in a 6 gal tank? Had it sucking air a couple times but have only been able to get in about 5.3 gals.

 

Try shaking the Ultra a little when you gas up - you'd be surprised that almost another gallon fits when it looks full to the brim.

 

Last year heading home from Myrtle Beach on a barren SC low country highway I noticed I was running low then the yellow light comes on. The pucker factor elevates when I don't see a thing in sight but spanish moss and state prisons. Finally fueled up near I-95 and put in just over 5 gallons. After that episode I bought a 1 gallon saddlebag fuel can.

 

$3.63 for a gallon of non-ethanol premium is a pretty good price in this day. Around here it's $4.00 and I thought we were the cheapest in the country. I guess not!
