2011 Ultra Limited, No cat, SE Air Cleaner, PCV w/AT (13.8 AFR at cruise):

I just finished a 9,100 mile road trip and my mileage ranged from 29.7 to 46.9 MPG for individual tanks of fuel. Only the road and weather conditions along with different speeds and normal variation in the fill-up levels generated this kind of MPG variance between tankfuls.

My overall average for the entire trip was 38.9 MPG.

10 Ultra. Get right at 50 when riding the speed limit. 45 is the low end when wind, hills and playing with the throttle.
