So far, I've had a range of 35-39 on 3 fill ups. I've got 777 miles on this M/8 engine, and it seems to be running fine. I'm hoping to see it improve as it breaks in more. It may just be my riding style, as well as I ride a mix of city /highway on each fill up. How some of you get as much as 50 mpg is beyond me. I don't ride hard but occasionally, I twist the throttle... My 2011 Streetglide ( Tman 555 cams, SEPST, A/C, V&H Propipe) was the same. Pretty much right on the money.

Getting 34 mpg. 1,600 miles on my Ultra Limited M8 with stage 1 (HD tuner). Rev range for me: Shift between 3,500 and 4,000 RPM. Bikes runs like a champ!
