37.5 mpg

150 miles on 4 gallons of 93 octane...Does that sound about right for for my setup?

'03 King, V&H 2-1, PC3, S/E AC @ 70-80mph, 3k-3.5k rpms, windshield and 250lbs

...just checking, thanks

RE: 37.5 mpg

I'm getting 44mpg on 93 octane, but I'm keeping my rpms under 3k - 60 to 70 mph, so I can see it dropping to 37 if I drove 70 to 80 mph - sure.

Pretty close. Im on an '07 Ultra and get anywhere between 35-42 mpg depending on riding conditions.

Yeah and if you slow it down to 60-65mpg you should get another 10-20 miles out of that 4 gal.

RE: 37.5 mpg

Sounds about right, I had the same setup on my 03'RKC
in addition to a big bore kit which brought it down to
about 32-36 depending on how hard I got into it.
