I dunno but I was going 120-130 miles and being on about 1/8th tank when I'd fill up, but I could only put in about 3.4 gallons so there was still a gallon+ left.

. I've been through 4 tanks and average 40 mpg so far. I think if I tone it down a little I'll get back closer to where I was.

I also added SE Stage 1 Air Cleaner and was mapped for V&H Straight Shots with BCT baffles. A/F changed from 14.2 to 13.6 so corresponding need for more fuel. Runs much cooler and no more pinging when rolling on at highway speeds.

If you look in the fuel table, I'm willing to bet the map you have in there has a lot more positive numbers than negative ones, which denotes percentage change in fuel. Accordingly, you're going to see a few mpg decrease in mileage unless you opt to lean it back out in certain areas (i.e. highway cruising).
Regardless, the difference before and after install is definitely a hell of a bang for the buck. While mine was getting a service last week I took a 2010 WG for a "test ride" and ragged on it a few times (to "test" out the new helical 5th gear of course!). Got back on mine shortly thereafter and proceeded to rag on it as well, and the difference was like night and day.

I lost about 4 mpg after the PC install, but I think much of that has to do with how I've been riding-let's just say I'm taking advantage of the improved performance. I've been through 4 tanks and average 40 mpg so far. I think if I tone it down a little I'll get back closer to where I was.

I ride mine like I just stole it now, can't help it. I rode with the new pipes, hypercharger, and no PCV, it was an improvement over stock, installed the PCV from FuelMoto, mapped by Jamie for my gear and I noticed a little improvement. Thinking about having it dyno'ed cuz, well you know, money grows on trees around here. One thing to keep in mind when you install the PCV,,,, Make sure you put the rubber plugs in closing all the connections off. I found them in the box a couple weeks after my install and had to pull it all apart again. Good luck with that!
