I thought I was the only one that gits all weird when the fuel gets low.
I literally start riding kinda frantic and different looking for a station. Literally burning way fuel out of fear that will run out. Frantic at the stoplights...Generally cursing a little.
My bike drinks the stuff.
120 around town and the light is on. 140 Hwy and I'm frantic.
The guys who are getting 48 MPG....Must be nice Mang!!

I have had several bikes in the stable over the past several years, and I found that a Softail (pre 2006) with the 5 gallon tank will get about 175 before looking for fuel.
Ultra (2006) was very close to the same
2008 Ultra has the best milage I have ever gotten. Stock, its getting 52+ mpg on the freeway with cruise set. I don't even think about fuelingup till it hits 190, and I have gone as far as 225 and STILL have never put in more than 5.2 gallons
