I get about 32-35 mpg on my 2006 Heritage (carbed), city-driving, solo.

The bike has a tall windshield and Vance & Hines bigshots long pipes (not sure if it was re-jetted or anything).

Does that gas mileage sound right to you? Just asking, because the specs said something about 42mpg for city-driving.

Thanks!

 

thats pretty close after a stage 1. i've got some friends with similar set-ups and thats close to what they're getting. stop and go around town will drink it a little quicker than more extended runs. does the bike run good, no popping, hesitation, etc?

 

You will get 42 if you stay on the highway and set the cruise at 65. It just isn't realistic, the mileage you are getting is.

 

Yes, the bike runs good. I suppose I just didn't expect the pipes to make such a difference. So it's good to see that others are getting similar gas mileage.

 

For three yrs now. at stock, stg1 and now with cam, it had always been between 39-45 no matter how or where I ride, except when I use gas with Ethanol, then take a couple more off that

all around agerage is right at 41

 

Sounds a little low to me. My '07 with V&H ProPipe and Stage I consistantly gets 42-44mpg, solo in the city and 50-55mpg on the Highway.

 

I guess if I ran it dry I would get over 40. I usually try to fill up when I have about 1/4 left if I can.

 

I've just bought a new Fat Boy and am still running it in, I find its a bit heavy on the gas at the moment compared to the Dyna I traded in, but I still get about 39 - 42 around town.

i depends on how you drive it and the tire pressure and the bike itself. i can get 32 in under 30 mph and lots of stops. you can get a dyno run done and they will give you a fuel ratio readout if you ask.

 

I'm getting 42-45 combined city/highway in my 08 Heritage with stage 1, V&H straight shots and K&N RK3909. I can go 220 miles on a tank before filling up.
