Just completed a 2300 mile trip a couple of weeks ago and averaged 40MPG

About 38 - 42 most of the time since the PC-V, mufflers & AC upgrade. I got 45 once doing some nice & easy 2-up riding, and 35 doing exactly the opposite!
Last month I rode with a stock '08 Ultra and a '08 Street glide with D&D pipes & PC-III at highway speeds for 180 miles. The stock Ultra used exactly the same amount of gas I did and the street glide used 1/10th of a gallon more. The stock bike did improve more than the other two at lower speeds, though.

I have an 06 Fatboy with a 2" tank lift. My light comes on around 100-125 miles on the tank. It was never very accurate (even before the lift). I usually fill up around 130 with just under half a tank left. It gets around 35mpg in town and 45 on the highway. I tend to ride it pretty hard when it's stop and go.

My bone stock '09 gets around 45 mpg riding two up, in the mountains, fairly conservative on the throttle (at least I think I'm conservative).
When I'm by myself it gets a little better.
Did you guys that have modified your exhaust/intake find that your fuel economy improved or worsened after that mod? Mine seemed to get worse when I did my '05 Super Glide (carbureted).
