2014 Ultra Classic MPG
#1
#2
speed, terrain, throttle wiggling, % of ethanol in your pump gas come into play
lower than specified octane fuel will give less mpg, as the ECM cannot fully adavnce ignition timing
gear selection also plays into this- going into 6th gear at 55 MPH may result in lower revs, but it may be that the motor is more efficient at higher rpm range.
My 09 96" with stage 1 is dead on 43 mpg- cruising between 70 and 75 mph
stock it was 44 mpg
our fuel here is typically 10% iowa farmer subsidy
MPG will also increase at the motor wears in, less internal friction. as you get up past 5K you may see quite a rise.
