Rode 94 miles half of which was interstate going 65-70(closer to 70)mph in 6th gear and the other half was county two lane road where you run 5-10 miles and then come to a stop sign. Used 5th gear for this portion.&nbsp\\; Used 2.25 gallons which works out to 41.777 mpg.&nbsp\\; Bike has 1350 miles on it.&nbsp\\;I made this&nbsp\\;ride primarily to see what my mileage would be.&nbsp\\; Doesn't seem like enough based on&nbsp\\;what I've read on this forum.&nbsp\\; Just had the 1,000 mile service.&nbsp\\; Couple of weeks ago road 125 miles on mostly the county-type roads, 60 mph, 5th gear&nbsp\\;and got the same mpg.&nbsp\\; Bike is all stock.&nbsp\\; I don't think there is any adjusting that a dealer can do without first installing a PC or SERT, is there?

 

That's close to AVG.&nbsp\\; Every one rides a bit different and you should improve MPG a bit as the bike breaks in more. And you really cant get a true picture with only a short ride as there are a lot of things that can effect MPG.

I normally get around 42+ AVG with a bacis stage 1 and California Crap Gas

 

Thanks for the input.&nbsp\\; When I just&nbsp\\;go for&nbsp\\;rides after work to relax I'm on county roads where ya run a mile or two and then have a stop sign.&nbsp\\; This type of riding has a lot more running through the gears and I get 38-39 mpg on that type of riding and that's fine.&nbsp\\; I was expecting on the interstate run to see closer to 45 mpg given an EPA spec of 54 highway.&nbsp\\; I know I'll never see 54 but I would expect the 45.&nbsp\\; Would putting in a PC or SERT allow for tweeking to improve mileage or are they just for performance(higher HP and torque)?&nbsp\\;

 

&nbsp\\; Ajay,
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; We just got back Sunday night from a 985 mile, 4 day ride up into the Adarondaks (sp)
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; mountains of NY.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;2 up averaged 44 mpg. The bike is bone stock 08 EGC.&nbsp\\; Using the GPS the speedo runs about 4 mph higher the the gps. Clyde the Glide now has over 8,000 miles on him and its an awesume tourer!!&nbsp\\; I noticed my milage increase when I started shifting at about 2600 rpm and not winding it out to over 3k.

 

agreed the higher Rpm's seem to kill you MPG, that and when I installed the Reinharts, and I want to hear them and rev the engine, the MPG goes into the crapper....&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I got a 08 Street Glide and I would say I"m averaging close to 45, although I did have the Stage I AC installed and a SERT.

 

Hubby is averaging about 43 on our Ultra, mostly solo riding, but long trips 2-up are averaging the same. It has Stage 1, Python pipes, and synthetic oil with alomst 5k miles&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
On a side note, the mileage improved about 4 mpg when we switched it to synthetic and it is getting better the more miles that are on it.
