Default Gas Mileage

This may be an odd question for many of you fuel junkies out there. Does anyone track what kind of gas mileage their bikes get? If so, what are the typical consumption rates you all get and on what bike?

Default RE: Gas Mileage

I have an '02 FLHTCI and get 40 mpg. On county roads were the speed is limited it gets into the low 40's. My '94 Ultra got 45-50 mpg. Disappointed in getting such poor mileage with an injected engine. When cars went to injection, the mileage jumped way up. My wife runs 50+ with her '96 Heritage Classic.

02 SE RK 95", 38-43 mpg, depends on how I run it. Still a hell of a lot better than the truck.

I suspected that the manufacturor specs were a bit conservative in their estimates and by everyones numbers, I seem to be correct.
