If I set the cruise at 80, I can drop it all the way down to 35 MPG. If I keep it down to 65 MPH or less, I get a solid 50 MPG. The only performance mods are the Screaming Beagle air cleaner, the “off road” mufflers and a remapping of the ECU by the local dealer. I especially love the “Parade Mode”; it really helps keep the heat down so you don’t cook your inner thigh.

Gotta love that Delphi fuel injection!

That's my magic number.

1995 Evo, FLHTC, weisco con pistons .030 over, jugs shaved .015, ev 239 cam, fireball high four ign, 44mm carb with all kits, Screamin Eagle heads (polished, but not ported), SE adjustable Rods, SE hp rockers, 9:25 compression, hooker tuneables (left side shut off), 90,000 miles on the bike, 20,000 on top end.

38 miles to the gallon. :-)
