Default RE: mpg question

I with my 2007 Ultra classic, se air cleaner, vance and hines big shot true duals on average got 38 miles per gallon, my 2008 Ultra, same configuration when new got 53 miles per gallon on a 1000 mile plus trip a hog rally ride to Northern California going thru the mountains.... go figure, I was riding at 65 miles an hour with a group, still get about the same at 65 miles per hour on the highway, get 45 miles an hour on back roads and about 40 miles per gallon when I am above 85 miles an hour on an entire ride.... very happy with mpg's... wasn't expecting it and don't really care as long as I have good power and fun on my rides, if it was half that and there were gas stations I would care less....
