Default '07 gear ratios

I've confirmed my suspicions. HD lowered the gear ratios for the '07 models. This could explain the lag felt compared to the '06 and also the '07's improved fuel economy on the highway. I am curious about why the city rated fuel economy dropped from '06's 40 MPG to '07's 34 MPG.
