Default What is your MPG?

I seem to average 33 mpg on my TC88, with slip ons, air cleaner and tuner. It seems low to me. What say you?

i would think you should be able to get 43 at the very least, i think you may have something wrong with the mapping on the pc.. i think i would have to look into the settings on that and try something different, unless your real hard on the throttle but even at that i cant believe the mpg would drop that low

with my 2013 flhtc, and a stage one, i get from 41-45 depending on how i twist the grip. highest has been 46 lowest 38. i run over 100 miles a day to work and back and am **** about keeping the stats. my 2010 got about 38, my yamaha 1600 gets about 40, my jeep around 20 and my dodge ram deisel gets about 16 and my rogue 26....not that i keep track....i find too that the mileage decreases in the fall as they change gasolene blends. decreases a mile or two.
