Yeah it is sad...but with pay at the pump, you get the receipt, write down the mileage on it, get home, fill out spreadsheet...

I have one for all the vehilces...

I believe you guys have gone beyond anal , what else do you keep infinite track of and maybe you would share that with the world also.

A very detailed service log on each bike.

I see a theme here. If the bike is run at speeds greater than 70mph, the mpgs drop, even more if you ride into a headwind. But at nice cruising speeds the mpgs are decent. My best always comes up in the mountains on slow winding roads. The worst I got was running from Billings MT to Cody WY. I was going over 100mph WOT over the flat land and the mpgs dropped into the high 20s.

  Wow!  I always wondered what the mpg. would be at full throttle.  Cool.  har!  spyder

Obviously not via Beartooth Pass and Chief Joseph Hwy!

[Ultra Villa]

35 to 37, usually 2 up.  On rare occasions I've gotten 40+.  Highway, speeds at 70+.

I wish the cruise control would work at 100+. Sometimes ya just got to blow out those miles while listing to road tunes and drinking a cold one.  Doc

On the nana I get 32-35 neither speed nor head winds seem to effect it much.
Of course at 25mph don't much matter. (I said it before Ken could)

[Dan_Lockwood]

I really don't care what I get, but it's in the 33 range.  I don't mean that sarcastically, it just doesn't matter if it's 30 or 50 mpg.

I ride mostly 2 up and we carry a bit more weight than most probably do here.  Most of my riding is country with hills, curves etc at probably less then 60 mph.  Once in a while we do hit the freeway and run up to maybe 75, but I've not checked it for more than just the average.

I have V&H Dresser Duals and their Oval mufflers, HD SE AC and PCMIII.  Other than that I'm stock.

Not having had the bike all that long, I am still trying to figure out my mileage...but for the most part I am getting 40 "ish" - that is with a 250lb one up.

I do have a bad habit of really hammering it off the lights, and do only around town on it at this time.

Then  you must be tickled with 40ish, Sean.  har!  spyder

Makes a difference if you have a SERK or SE Ultra Classic, the more fairing you have the mpg goes down a bit, then throw in headwind, hills and traffic on the highways and the difference adds up. I (08SERK) crossed from Flagstaff AZ to Newport Beach CA on I-40/I-15 with heavy winds at 85~100 for many hours and still got 35~38 mpg, without any winds running 80 for hours I still get 40+, stay below 80 and the mileage creeps up to 43~45.

Never ran at over 100 for any length of time, cruise control doesn't work much over 80 and my eyes don't like the road going by that fast.

[BaggerDave]

30 MPG riding 2 up mostly.
