MPG?
« on: January 21, 2004, 09:05:53 AM »
Good Day, and let me first say that I joined yesterday and ended up spending most of the day reading...lots of good info!  A couple things that I did not see tho, and I have been curious about.  Gas Mileage?  How is it?  
I was getting 45-50 mpg highway on my punched out Road King, and was hoping to get that or close on the CSE.  By the way, mine is sitting in the dealer waiting for accessories before delivery.  It was beautiful when I first saw it.  Thanks for any help with the MPG.

Welcome to the board Doc.

Not sure about the mileage.....mine gets here Feb. 27th. (but whoose counting?)

In my Harley truck I get about 11 miles to the gallon so I'll be happy with whatever on my bike.  I never really checked out the mpg on any of my bikes.

C [smiley=6.gif]ruising at 60 mph---im getting about 45 mpg. Get over the 70 mph mark---and i really doubt 40.  But keep in mind----i took that piece of a windshield off and put on a full tint windshield.  Theres bugs here in Missouri bigger than some birds.

Just came back from AZ Bike Week (about 900 miles) and averaged about 34-36 mpg. That was at 80-85 with a strong headwind. Was having trouble getting over 150 miles on a tank at one point. I get close to 40 if I keep between 70 and 60....theoretically speaking of course.  [smiley=confused5.gif]

Well there is always a trade off for performance,  still better than 11mpg in the truck and I can use the car pool lane.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

04 SEEG-out of gas @ 175.4 miles.  No nasty comments please.  My wife is still laughing.  Not to bad though,  58 years old and first mistake I ever made.
