With the E10 fuel I get 195-220 per tank (havent run out yet)

There are a couple of places that sell non-ethanol fuel, and the claim is better mileage... gotta try that soon.

I know my cars get much better MPG with non-ethanol so the same should apply.

I start looking for gas station at 180 and start sweating at 200!

I do notice a meandering ride through curvy roads is a lot more fuel friendly than hauling butt on the highway!

I'm really looking at 160.  Hopefully the new tuner will help.

Yep, I forgot to fill up, knowing that I need some fuel before leaving my house.

I just made it!

And NO, this is not normal thing to run that low.

YB
Thats exactly the amount mine took 6.039 as I spluttered into a gas station in Vegas last summer  had gone from Flagstaff AZ to the south end of Las Vegas Blvd

2013 CVO Road King - new and all stock still. I ran through my first tank at 212 miles. Two lights still lit when the low fuel warning light came on and said 38 miles till empty. Took 5.1 gallons to fill it up. Been riding easy on country roads to break it in. I'm quite happy to go 200 miles on a tank, after the Ducati Superbike only going 140, although you do get there quickly. :o

Wow, you're riding pretty hard or your mods killed your mileage. I avg. 40 mpg, my last tank I got 44 mpg.

214 I'm empty. Ran it dry one day just to see. No hwy miles on that tank. So as some have said at 200 miles I will be concerned if I can't find a gas pump!

200.5 miles on 4.694 gallons. No mods just plain stock. I think I like it that way. Oh, that is all backload riding and none over 65.  :orange:

Mine has read as high as 258... but on a downhill run it will not decrease, and sometimes will increase.

Likewise on an uphill run the miles till empty decrease faster than miles travelled.
