Check your plugs. It sounds like you are running rich. I get 43 in town and 45 on the interstate as long as I stay below 80 mph. I have a 07 ultral classic with stage 1 done.

My guess is that your SERT is tuned way to rich. When I got a Power Commander and used the canned map they supplied, I had great power but my mileage sucked 28-30mpg.I took it to a trusted mechanic and asked him to dial it back a bit. Now I get closer to 40mpg. You may want to ask your dealer or whoever put your upgrades on what map is in the SERT and if they can dial it down a little to get you better mileage.

Well, I've got a 2001 FLHT with a Mikuni, big air, 95 ci. On the road I get about 38 if I stay below 70 mph. If I go over 75 we're talking 32 mpg. Plugs are fine. It's the bat wing I suppose.
