On the 09 SEUC,
Riding with the HOG Club, just me 46mpg, 2 up 44mpg. (yes they ride that slow  :'( )
Riding @10/15 over, just me 42mpg, 2 up 40mpg, 2 up w/trailer 38/39mpg.
Riding with w/90% over 80mph, just me 37/38mpg, 2 up 36/37mpg, w/trailer 35/36mpg.
The other 3 bikes do better under any condition on gas mileage than the 09.
Riding into a headwind changes everything.

Jerry How did you know that?? I just always fill up at 160 miles because the gauge is getting close to the 1/4 full mark. so in my head that's about 26-30 mpg. I was totally surprised that the 2010 bike came from the factory running fatter than my 08 did when I got it. The 08 when I first got it was getting 250 miles to the tank and it was hotter than hell. After pipes intake and Dyno'ing I was getting about 180 miles to the tank. My 10 is running soo good right now after the dyno that I don't really worry about fuel economy. Performance is more important.

I was getting about 200 miles a tank on my SESG, but it has gone down to about 170-180 lately.  I didn't change anything.  I don't know what it is.  I like twisting the throttle so maybe that's it.

I guess by tank I mean 5.3 gallons or so.  Whatever it holds when the light comes on.

I tossed in a half bottle of Lucas fuel inector cleaner last weekend and I really can't believe how it improved gas milage. I went 175 miles before the light came on, which usually lights up anywhere from 145-150 miles. So that made me happy today along with the bike is really running well. I have 56k on it and I think this was the first time I tried something like that. By the way I have a 5 gallon tank. :)

Two-up with extra luggage behind her, 70-75 mph flat interstate: 53 mpg.  Have to love a 20mph tail wind.  Normally that would yield about 43 mpg.  Oh, and to the people who did something to their bike, poured whatever in the tank, attached a whirly-gig air cleaner, etc. and got thirty more miles out of the tank the next time - that doesn't mean anything.  Unless you rode it the exact same route at the exact speeds, accelerated the same, had the same wind, same traffic in front of you, etc. one tank, or three, isn't enough to say it had any effect.
