MPG 4 Months, 1 Week ago

I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death. I've searched for it and found many threads on the subject. I've read that some people are getting about 50 mpg. This worries me because I just checked and i'm getting about 38 mpg 95% freeway @ 60 mph and very easy on the throttle.

Is this right? I've been reading about some screw on the carb that lowers fuel efficiency if it comes out but this is all new to me. My Road Star is a 2006 with almost 9k miles... any ideas?
