My 07 StreetGlide got 47.12 mpg on my weekend trip to Dallas, Texas. I was getting 190-195 miles before the gas gauge light would come on. I was also cruising around 70-75 the whole way down. It was 520 miles each direction. Cost me $68.15 in fuel round trip!!!
My StreetGlide is a 103" with mild port work on the heads, Andrews 37H cams, Rinehart true duals, K&N air, and SERT.
Riding 2-up a couple weekends ago, I got 41mpg. There was a lot of hilss and turns, so no steady speeds on that trip.

I seem to get between 40 and 42. 42.5 is best for me on a lot of highway with very few stops. Get the 40 number riding county roads where you ride a couple miles and then a stop sign. Have a 2008 EGS. No engine/fuel/air mods. Do have Rush slipons with a 1.5 inch baffle.

09 SG, 1100 miles and getting 45 MPG commuting (some stop and go, most at 55-60 in a 45 zone). Long ride at 65-70 I got 46. Just switched to Syn3 today...5th gear is quieter and I'm hoping to see even better economy.

On a fairly conservatively run (50% under 55 - 50% 55-70) road trip yesterday from the 700 mile mark to the 890 mark I put in 4.11 gallons. Works out to be around 46mpg. Don't really care about gas mileage but under the 1000 mile mark on bike and still with regular oil I was pretty pleased.

I dont really care either , as long as I can get 38 or so on the low end all is well , if it picks up a few mpg as it breaks in that'll be fine , if not , that's OK too ..
