'06 Wide Glide; freeway cruising, I can make 190 when my light comes on. Best ever was 236...on fumes. Saw my younger bro get 275 out of a tank, loaded up with camp/travel gear, when we did our Pacific Coast ride in '11 ('04 Wide Glide)...wouldn't've believed it if I hadn't seen it.

Not to hijack, but This thread is causing me concern - I'm luck if I get 33 mpg average! In best case, I get around 36 (mixed highway and street) - possibly a result of my tuner? Or maybe something else is wrong? If anyone has insight on this I'd be really anxious to hear what you think...
