#318881 nickgadman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 39 Gas mileage 1 Year, 7 Months ago   On average how many miles do you all get per tank. I run v&h longshots with a rejetted carb on my 06 (1700), and I'm lucky to get more than 160-170. Does that sound about right? My friend says I should be able to hit 200   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #318891 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7911 Re:Gas mileage 1 Year, 7 Months ago   Well your doing pretty good. My 06 is pretty much stock but I get around 50 mpg on longer trips but just running around town some where around 35 to 40 mpg. Depends on my throttle hand.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #318894 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Gas mileage 1 Year, 7 Months ago   Is that what you get when the light comes on? If so that is good mileage for the stock re-jetted carb. You should get my mileage I have a 45 HSR and it really sucks it down.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #318898 huskerbob (User) Life is about monents that take your breath away Platinum Boarder Posts: 2186 Re:Gas mileage 1 Year, 7 Months ago   I get scared around 150 mile on tank but the light never comes on I think your doing good   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #318905 dingodango88 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 518 Re:Gas mileage 1 Year, 7 Months ago   That's pretty dang good I'd say.

At 160 the low fuel light comes on, at 170 it quits on the main. One time I took a gallon can with me and went to 204 on the reserve; at that point I came to a gas station and gave up. Went ahead and filled up. So, yes it will go 200 miles but I certainly don't make a habit of it!

You're probably getting 42 to 45 mpg at that rate. I typically get the very same. I've got a V&H 2 into 1 Pro-Pipe and MrC's universal K&N filter, and of course, it's rejetted. I also swapped a 31 tooth front pulley and a Speedo-Healer that's got it dead on for mph. The Dyna 3000 keeps me from hittin' the rev limiter, now that the limit is 5k rpm. It runs so sweet! I'm in love!!!   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access.
