Gas Mileage
« on: August 01, 2006, 09:44:00 PM »
Not that I can ever really care about gas mileage on a bike ( it's always worth the price to ride)But I need to ask a question because I really can not figure the answer out. Here tis: Why does an 07 FLHTCU 96 cu in. get 45/32.5 for gas mileage and an 07 FLHTCUSE 110cu.in get 53.5/37.7 for gas mileage?I 'm having trouble understanding how a larger displacement uses less gas.

Jerry,

On the surface at least, it does look like either a typo or like someone switched the specs.
