I am curious what other people are seeing. I have 2010 FLTRX, Jackpot 2:1 catless header and SE Nightstick muffler, 44 mpg. I've had people all the time ask me if I ride to save gas. I tell them my 2003 Jetta TDI frequently tops 50. Didn't buy a Harley to save gas.

Low 40's when stage 1. Mid 30's since cam and tuner. And yeah, the map is rich but I don't care. I love twisting the grip!

I get high forties on the highway.

09 FLHTC, hi flow air cleaner, stock no cat headers, nightsticks ( closed 16 L/8R) Xieds


I can count on 43 MPG at my usual 65~70 cruising with a full touring load of crap...about 75 pounds.

above 50 MPH wind speed has a huge effect on MPG, our bikes are not very aerodynamic

45 if I go easy with it, lower if I'm having some fun.

Just returned from a trip to upper Michigan. 1300 miles, averaged about 65MPH 2up with large bag, stage 1 and got 44MPG. I couldn't believe it myself so re-added. Yep, 44MPG. By the way, no ethanol at $4.49 a gallon. Well worth the money, you people that live up there have one hell of a beautiful piece of country. We loved every mile.

Why is that unbelievable? You can't believe it's that high or that low? Frankly, I think it's about average.

Built bikes can be as low as in the high 20's. Stock or stage 1, mid to high 40's. My last Sportie could get mid 50's on the hwy, and my son's CB360 cafe is in the 60's at cruise.

Power Duals, Monster Rounds, Dyno Tuned.
City, and I mean NYC, I get about 33.
Combined, I get about 38.
Strictly Hwy, about 42 and that's usually 2up.
