Thats good. What speed were you riding at? Best I have got is 41. I just set the TFI at what came on the papers with it. Been thinking about try to tweak it a little to get better on the highway but ain't got around to it yet.

I don't know how ya'll are doing this,or should I say.What am I doing wrong.I installed a V&amp\\;H Fuelpac on my 05 EGC last week.Took a 500 mile trip last weekend and had to take the FP off after the 2nd tank.My mileage went from 40mpg to 28mpg.The V&amp\\;H techs gave three different maps,and that was the best I got.I'm running true duals with wild piggs slip ons and a SE stage 1 A/C and down load.&nbsp\\;

Glide,
This is just a thought, but what injectors are in your bike? I don't know if they had an injector change for the 05 like they had for my 06, but there is a big &nbsp\\;difference in the flow rates between the 8 degree and the 25 degree injectors used in the 06. You may be using a map for small injectors and have&nbsp\\;larger ones in your bike. I don't know if this change applys to an 05, but it would be real easy to check, and such a mismatch WOULD explain your poor fuel mileage.

If you have a GPS, you should compare your odometer to the GPS. I personally think your MPG is inflated. No reflection on you or your math skills however.

Why is it that everybody thinks their GPS is correct on milgae. If you look at the GPS it will tell you the accuracy in feet that it is according to how many satelites it is receiving and everything.
So if it is accurate to with in 10 ' won't this tell you that the speedomer is a little more accurate even though its not perfect.
