I have done 180 miles, but get skeered not knowing what Jackyls tank lift might do to the remaining miles left in the tank.

I have Jackyls 2" tank lift and happen to have had the unexpected pleasure of testing out how far it'll go once the needle is on E. About 40 miles. I left Manteo,NC and took 264 west and the sign said next town 14 miles. I was just about on E, so I thought, Hell,I can make that. I did.. That town had no gas station. Next town 45 miles. The needle was in the E position...It was hot and there was hardly any other traffic. I made it. On fumes but I made it. Was never so happen to see a gas pump. I likes the tank lift. Good times man...good times.

2008 FXDC, V&\\;H slip on's, S/E A/C, V&\\;H FuelPak, 96 stock engine, varying between city (25 mph - 45 mph) and highway (65 mph - 75 mph), and I get, on average, between 30 - 38 mpg. \\; I'm thinking it has to do with temp differences, among a bunch of other crap.

RE: How many miles on a tank?
Depends on the type of riding I do... and it varies greatly.
 \\;
Long trips over 55 mph = 53 mpg
 \\;
In the city... at 35-40 mph = 40 mpg
 \\;
just multiply these numbers x 4 gallons to get my tankfull numbers.
