Default Stage One and FP3

After Stage One and an install of an FP3 (standard V&H map, not autotune) am getting 43 mpg (last fill up). Thats a little bit of everything riding; highway, street, and neighborhood, etc . . .

Still debating the FP3...don't have a full stage 1 done but like the idea of autotune...

I love the FP3. I had the DynoJet Powervision for my last bike but the FP3 is much easier to use.

I'm getting 43 consistently with my Limited too. That's after an auto tune with Power Duals, HO's, AC and FP3. Stage 1 for all intents and purposes. Watch out now for the incoming MPG watcher haters....even though we could really care less what our MPG is. It's all about the health of the motor.

I'm curious about how many miles you have on your bike. I have a 2016 SGS with Rush 2 into 1, FP3, iridium plugs, external breather vent and S&S air cleaner. The first 6000 miles I would get between 38 and 41 MPG. Did a 2300 mile trip and checked the mileage every fill up, the first two tanks were 38 and 40. the third tank was 45 and the fourth tank was 48. Got a steady 48/49 for the rest of the trip except for one tank that was 40 mpg and I attribute that to bad gas, I think the motor finally loosened up at about 7000 miles. Had the auto tune on between 1500 and 3000 miles before I finalized the tune, and the bike runs great.

That's exactly why this time I did the stage 1 upgrade with AC, power duals, FP3 and Monster Rounds - on my first Harley (2011 RGU) I stayed with stock, and the stator fried at 50K. I'm hoping a cooler running motor will keep that from happening again.

I get 47 on my 2016 RGS on the highway.Gps says 53.I get 43 all around and I've gotten as low as 39 really goofing off.I only have slip ons and running the stock head pipe and air cleaner until tonight.I added a V&H v02 naked filter kit.Feels like some bottom end improvement.Could be wishful thinking.

When we tested the FP3 almost a year ago, we were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use, and what a good tune it gave...and how well the built-in Auto-Tune worked.

I get 42-43 on every ride with my stage 1 and FP3 using a stock V&H tune. I'll cast another vote for how easy the FP3 is to use.
