RE: Fat Bob - 34.4mpg

07 bob here.&nbsp\\; I haven't officially tried to calculate my mpg but I do know I can go about 150 miles on a tank.&nbsp\\; Doing the math that calculates out to around 43 mpg.&nbsp\\; I would have guessed maybe a little better.&nbsp\\; I usually fuel up sometime after the light goes on.

I get 40 usually. On a recent trip to Savannah and back to Columbus (over 440 miles) I got 230 miles on one tank of gas.&nbsp\\;

RE: Fat Bob - 34.4mpg

i was getting less than 35 before i got my stage 1 and a dyno tune.

I think that your factory tune is not the best that it could be.&nbsp\\; That's how I summed up my increase to 43 mpg after I had it dynoed and the AFR properly adjusted.

RE: Fat Bob - 34.4mpg

I got 31 mpg on my last fillup of my '59 FLH.&nbsp\\;It is running a bit rich.&nbsp\\;So, I adjusted the mainjet to lean it out some.&nbsp\\; Hope to get closer to 35 mpg on the Charity Ride tomorrow.
