37.8mpg...
So I’m averaging 37.8mpg on my 2016 (48) bike currently has 300miles on it. Is this normal?
Screamin Eagle heavy breather
V&H Short Shots
FP3
I’m also a big boy 330lbs.. I’m working on losing weight...
Getting a little annoying putting 1.5g in the tank every 56miles. Wondering if a $575 dyno tune would be worth it.

I'm 5'-9", 145 lbs, and getting 20 km/L, which should work out to 47 mpg on a 1200 Iron. A few things come to mind:
Your size.
How aggressive you ride.
Tire pressure.
Maybe wait until the motor is broken in before looking at fuel economy.

I was wondering if mileage had something to do with it?
I haven't messed with autotune function yet...That will be next.

They tend to get a little better when broken in, but I can almost guarantee it's the FP3 map causing the problem. V&H canned maps are pretty much always super rich in the idle/cruise range.
