Hi all.

My 07 E-Glide and I just returned from a 2400 mile trip to LA and back, and quite frankly, it was all over the place, one tank i would get 38, next 32, next 45.

I found wind will kill the mileage if you leave it in 6th, dropping to 5th help to reduce the load on the engine.

Anyway, the worst was at 80 into the wind, 28.91mpg, the best was over hwy 199, 45.45mpg.

I am working with Vance & Hines on this, we have gotten it up a bit, but there is a 11 mpg drop going from 60-65 to 65-70, and two more going to 75.

I know it is a rich cell that needs a bit of tweekin'
