I just did the mpg on the last 3 tanks.55,53,51 mpg it has been.I was wondering if you guys keep track that close and if so what mpg are you getting.The gas was always SUNOCO 94.

 

Seems about right.

I'm averaging 50 to 55 per gal depending on what kind of riding I'm doing. Long runs to the beach and few stops it gets higher. Work and errands w/lots of stops it drops to 50 or so.

I jsut made it a habbit to gas upevery 135 miles when doing day to day riding.

I can add more after tomorrow. Making my first all day run with a small pack. Out at 7 and ETA back is about 5 or so PM and I will definitely be checking my mlg.

 

Yeah, I wish I knew ya'll's secrets. I get a solid 40 mpg and that's about it.

 

Pretty much 48 MPG, running Citgo 93 octane, mostly around town going it easy, with short bursts on highway and getting on it hard.

I top off at around 80 miles, whether I need to or not.

 

Me too... can't figure it out!

 

Me three...........about 40. Prob would be better if i didn't twist so much, but it's too much fun!!!!

 

I was getting 50 or a little better until after the genius mechanic at the stealer decided since my bike was running rich he would put a 195 main jet in it then i started getting 45-48 mpg.
I had another mechanic look at it and he put a smller jet in it saying the 195 was way too big (no poop) I believe he put a 180 in it so I'll soon see if I am back to my 50 mpg or not.

 

195




195? Yikes!!! I was at 175 and was reluctant to go to 180.I did go 180 and it is GREAT.But 195,thats crazy.Ever since I did the stage 1,I've gotten the 50+mpg.I love my Sportster.

 

When I first got the bike the best mpg was 33. Then I switched from PetroCanada to Sunoco. The Sunoco 91 octane gave 48 mpg. Then I switched to using Sunoco Ultra 94 octane andthere is an increase to 54 mpg. So then I tried a few tanks of UPI ethanol blend 91 octane. The mpg remained the same 54 mpg.
I'm paying $1.15 to $1.20 per litre for the highest octaneat the pumps I can get and I think it is worth the extra pennies. I have gone from 280 kms before reserve to 340 kms before reserve.
Just if you arewondering; one litre is equal to one U.S. quart and100 kms is equal to 62 miles

 

I agree with you. I thought he had put a 190 in which I thought was still too big but I trusted the fool and thought he had his reasons. I was getting backfiring and popping from the exhaust and like i said the mileage went down so I decided screw this, I'm taking it back and having them fix it. I doubt I'll be going back to that stealer for any kind of engine related work again. I decided to have them tune it since they are the only local stealer with a dyno and the only local place with a dyno with an air/fuel reading that I know of.
