Mpg

Just curious as to what everyone is getting for MPG these days?

I have an 2005 Heritage and just checked my MPG for thie last tank and was getting 39miles per gallon. Just wondering if this is good or bad? How does everyone else compare?

Part of the tank was ridden hard (put louder pipes on so had a hard time cruising slow since i wanted to hear them) and part was ridden with a passenger, and a little of it was just putt-puttin around.

Doesn't sound bad for the riding you did.

44 MPG on the 2010 Heritage in my signature. I've kept a log since it was new and that 44 MPG is my average over 28,000 miles. Actually before I did the cams at 9,000 miles which included the 103 kit and the TTS reprogramming of the computer, I was getting slightly better fuel economy.
