I have a 2011 FLSTF with the 96.0 in motor and with the stock pipes I was getting 45 mpg but since I changed them out and went to Amsoil Synthetics I'm getting (no lie) 50 mpg. I am a slow and easy rider, mostly back highways, no interstates and I always use high octain/no ethanol gas.

Average between 42-45 mpg when wife and I ride around on the county roads.

When I do trips solo, She gets between 46-49 mpg.

Just got back this past Saturday from a 2k trip.. averaged 47.9 for the trip.

I have a Stage One with SERT, V and H pipes, and Heavy Breather intake. I really don't pay much attention to mileage unless I take a road trip with a lot of cruising involved. Around town when I am doing the stop light thing and making sure everyone hears the rumble of my bike I get about 30-32mpg....on the highway 45 or so.
