Most of my riding is in the suburbs of Philly and into Jersey and I've been getting steadily 48 to 52 mpg, but I ride conservativly. I think it all depends on how you ride, the harder you twist the throttle the less mpg's. I also tuned my bike with an Air Fuel ratio gauge for how I ride.

I have an 03 heritage with a larger pilot jet in the carb (runs perfect) and it gets around 50mpg. I had a 98 FXSTC, same set up, it got about 50, Had a 80" shovel got about 50. Had Sporsters that really got great mileage until recarbed and modified
.I have a buddy with a springer softail that a local dealer tuned and he gets about 35mpg. You can smell the raw fuel especially at low speeds, He thinks the shopcan do no wrong ,so I just ride ahead of the fumes.
