Just returned from a 3,600 mile trip out to South Dakota and back. Mileage ranged from 32 to 45 mpg. The biggest contributing factor to mileage on this trip was wind. The windier it was the lower the mpg was.

2007 SG w/PCIII, Rush and Fuel Moto custom baffles, AC:

Mostly City, numerous cold starts: 38-40mpg
Superslab, 70+mph: 43mpg
Steady 65mph: 47mpg
Backroads, 55mph, little stop-and-go, no cold starts: 50mpg

Over the past 18 months I've done quite a bit of tweaking of my PCIII to get this level of mileage without affecting performance or causing heat problems.

my 07 fxstc completely stock on best is about 32mpg but it also depends on your weight as well as the weight of the bike and how hard you ride.this is combined city and highway.solo.

mileage

2007 FLHP with 103" motor. Bone stock except for D&D Police Interceptor slip-ons. Likes to run 3000rpm in 6th (85-ish). 40-41mpg is the norm. One tank worked out to be 44 but I haven't been able to duplicate that. Just turned 5k miles. Hope that it bumps up a little with time but not going to hold my breath. Have a T-max AT but have yet to install. That might have to wait until the snow flies.

2007 FLHR, Rinehart TD, SE/AC, PCIII. I weigh 350lbs, my wife 140lbs. I have 37,000 miles and am averaging about 36 mpg. If I lean out the cruise range on the PCIII then I can get around 42 mpg.

Here goes . 07 stage 1, FLSTC and riding two up mostly for the first 13K, I have averaged approx 42 mpg high being 46 and low of 39 thats 2 up and together we weight in at 410.We average 45 mph riding. Its seems like the best mpg we get is around 53 in fifth gear. If we go to 60 or 65 mph in sixth it seems to go down to 40 mpg or so..

06 FXSTI with SE air filter, Santee 50 Cal exhaust, V&H fuelpak, other than that stock. I'm 260 lbs and stunningly handsome. In city driving, I always get at least 40 mpg, highway cruising at 65 mph I get 48-50 mpg. Maybe I get a few extra mpg cause I'm so good looking?

96" FXDF with full Stage One in the UK.
Each tank is almost identical at 52. something mile per gallon.
Almost exactly the same as my old lady's 1200 R Sporty.
I don't treat her gently either....the Fatbob that is!!!!
