Question 2011 FLHTC Milage

Hi all. Turning to the Forums for advice again insight. My 11 FLHTC milage is consistently running around 37 mph, down from 40 a year ago. Runs good. Clean air filter, V&H 4.5 slip on’s, and I’m not aggressive on the throttle. Figure milage by filling tank and dividing milage by amount of fuel to refill. Same gas and 93 octane. Thinking about adding. FP3. Any thoughts. TIA

What's the weather like and when are you comparing it to? I ride year round and my mileage is always 2 or three mpg's less in the winter then in the heat of the summer.

Weather has changed between warm and cold but the drop in MPG’s remains constant.

The seasonal blend of gas may be making a difference. I know winter gas in pa sucks.

2012 Ultra Limited and last tank was 47.2 mpg. Average is 42. I’m in Colorado and love at 7500 ft altitude. Power down mileage up.
