Something definitely wrong with your tuner map. My 100+/100+, 95" SG w/PCIII just got 49.8 mpg on 91 octane at 30-70 mph - easy throttle, two lane highway. It'll do this every day if I keep the speed (and throttle) down. Even at 80 mph it gets 40-41 mpg but if I run WFO it drops to 32-35 mpg. Consult Zipper's and/or try some dyno time.

Reply: I think maybe if you rode my bike like this i might get close to that number,but also if i rode your bike like i ride mine i don't think i could get these numbers on your bike.

Reply: I am pretty heavy handed on the throttle in going through the gears until cruise speed which is for me 70 mph 5th gear. Example to get on the main highway through my town if going southbound i have to go through approximately 9 traffic lights. to head northbound 8 traffic lights before hitting I-95.
