Default 96" SE255 cams MPG?

Just curious what kind of mpg you are getting while cruising at around 75-80. For me that's 3000 rpm in 6th gear.

I was getting 34mpg when being easy on the throttle. This was with a poor tuner. I just got a dyno tune last weekend and will update once I can get enough riding in.

Way back when I had this setup with a good tune, 39MPG, although it was real easy to get down to 32-35MPG being a little heavy handed.

That is just about the speed range where economy starts to drop off. I have gotten no worse fuel economy on the highway when cruising at 65 to 70 with cams. Hot ******* around and anything above 70 it starts to drop off.

At 75 to 80 mph i'd have to check my power vision next time, but i'd guess it's 40 mpg without headwinds blowing.

Anything over 75-80 mph and it starts dropping like a turd in a well.
33 mpg-35 mpg.
The faster the bugs accumulate on the windshield-the lower the mileage.

I had my T/C 88 updated to a "95" (not sure what cams they installed) and I got 38-39 MPG's running 70MPH at about 3,000 RPM's.


Now I have a CVO 110" (tuned with true duals) I get 39-40 at the same speed and RPM's.


However,as an earlier posted stated, when you start going 75-80+ the MPG's drop like a brick.
I thing the worst MPG's that I ever got was 32-33 running at 3,500 RPM's.
