The only way that I got mine back to a reasonable mileage performance was to have the bike dyno'd.
Stock maps are going to err on the side of safety and the mix will be rich. Plus they don't want to hear continual complaints about heat, popping, etc.
You can go into the map that you liked the best and lower the fuel input for cruising rpm's with the software that you get with the PCIII. Personally, I didnt' like the performance. I got a dyno...
If I never change the bike again, I will be ahead of the game. If I put the heads and cams on my bike that I want, however, then I should have bought a ThunderMax with Autotune.

Ok...here is how you get good gas mileage with your powercommander but still have the performance when you need it.
Open the map that your bike runs best with. Select the area from 5% throttle to 40% throttle and from 2,000 RPM to 4,000 RPM. After you have all this selected press the zero. This will return your map back to stock in this range. This will give you the fuel economy you need but give you the performance you want.

I've got map M805-149. Stage 1 ECU, V&H Big radius & AN big sucker Air cleaner, The last 3 fill ups I have got 44, 45, & 44 MPG. I have a 20 mile one way commute to work and run between 50-70 mph. I bought It basically just to get rid of the popping (which it has), but it does run better, and I don't use the accelerator pump option.

That is exactly what you are doing. In your normal driving range (5% - 40% throttle and 2,000 - 4,000 RPM) your back to your stock map. You very well be running a little lean but that is what your going to have to do to have that 45+ Mpg. Lets say for example you are at 10% throttle and running 2,500 RPM your moving at a pretty good speed anyway so cooling would not be an issue. Your not going to be able to run rich and keep good gas mileage.
At idle sitting in traffic or while moving slow you can still set your bike to run alittle rich to stay cool. When you need performance you are always going to be greater than 40% throttle so as soon as you go over that throttle position you are again using the performance section of your map. You also don't have to go totally back to stock. Once you have this section of your map highlighted you can bring your map fields up or down with your pageup or page-down keys. This moves your numbers in a percentage so you can go down without going all the way back to stock.
These techniques are what DynoJet teaches in their tuning classes which I have attended. I've also performed the above on multiple systems including my own with great results. I'm actually getting around 50 MPG on the highway and around 42 - 45 in the city with the above setup. Like others have said your throttle hand matters too since if you go above that 40% throttle or the 4,000 RPM the performance section of your map kicks in. Don't blip your throttle at lights and when you want to conserve gas stay in these limits.
