Last tank on my 08 ultra 31 mpg wtf!!.my o3 road king with stage 1 and se pipes would get near 50 on the same trip.The trip was 3/4 highway and side roads.

My ultra is stock....would the above mods get better mpg?

 

I'm getting 38 mpg, 3/4 of which is local, 1/4 highway. Totally stock, '09 Ultra.

 

No it's not funny but I have too... My 1998 FLTRI EVO will constantly get 48 and 49 mpg in town and at 80 exactly the same. I'm not so happy about people with TC's reporting bad mileage. My 1977 FXE (with a Jap carb) would get 67 mpg on the highway.

And "Buster" normally gets 44 mpg around town. Hummm, What the Hell is Buster? A 1990 Ford Festiva w/167,000 miles. 1300 lbs and 1300 cc's (with Cold A/C and heat). Chick Magnet!

tima, that's a beautiful bike.

 

If you guys are getting that kind of mpg, I'll have to quit bitchin about the 33 mpg I'm getting on carb equipped '04 EG Standard.

 

How old is your bike and how many miles on it? I was only getting in the low 30's until my 1000 mile tune up. Now I am in the low 40's. I think they may run them rich during break in. JMO.

 

3000 miles....did my own 1000 mile service

 

I am getting a solid 23mpg on my 08 rocker c, what the#@*! my pickup loaded gets better. i fill up more than a sporty does!!!!!

 

On my 05 RG with 27k I am getting 40MPG

 

Went on a trip to Yellowstone from Denver this summer on my 2008 Ultra. Probably 50/50 hyway/2 lane. Did enough tanks to get a good number below.
