According to my math that equates to about 33 MPG. What kind of engine mods, if any, have you done to it since then? Something obviously has changed since July 17th.

What exhaust did you ultimately install? Noticed over the past several weeks you had shown some interest in Rinehart slip-ons, SE 4"slip-ons, CFR mufflers, Rush 3.5" straight cuts and V&H monster rounds. Was curious what you ended up with. Did you change out the headpipe too?

Our 2011 with 2500 or so miles has gone from a low of 28.5 (right after the 1,000 mile service to 36.8 on a trip from Augusta, ME to Bar Harbor, ME. I baby it at all times....no where the 33 to 44 they said I would get.
