I used to get that, 160-170. Since my vieds though, I only go about 140...it kinda sucks....Its not toatally empty though, when I fill it, it only take 3.5 gallons to full.....

So, that's 40 mpg avg....that's not bad.

Most of my commute to work is on long stretches of decent county roads with few traffic control devices. I can get 42-44 miles a gallon. But when I have gotten on the throttle, MPG drops into the mid to high 30s.

There is a thread of a guy that was checking on insurance and the agent listed the different models. One of them was a 2016 FXDLS.

with that you should have about 1 gal usable left. sounds like your mileage is about the same as mine. as I said before the tank will hold about 4.9 gal, am guessing 4.7 usable.
