Re: Tuning for fuel economy

Hi, I drove 142 km trip and my 2002 FXD took 4,24 litres per 100 kilometres. If I calculated correctly it equals to 55 MPG. Speed was about 52 mph. I have V&H Big Shots, Ness Big Sucker Stage 1 and rejetting was done by local dealer. I am sure that higher speeds will make much lower MPG figures. I am very happy about my bikes economy even though my 1.4 liter diesel Skoda is still more economical. Lowest consuption is 3.6 liters per 100 kilometres that is about 60 MPG.

1 gallon 95 fuel costs today 9,12 USD in Finland - I wish we had as cheap as you guys there in US
1 gallon diesel costs 8,22 USD
