I had a 06 Speedmaster that would go 180-195 miles before switching to reserve. The best I've gotten with my 06 TBA is 165-175 depending on my driving.
Its more fun to be ridin'! I'm still ridin

General riding, giving no thought to mileage, I'm getting 45+ mpg and 49 mpg straight highway riding. With the 5+ gal. tank on my '09 America (EFI), I can get 200 miles between fill ups.

I got 52 mpg on my 03 TBA the one and only time I did the math.

I usually start looking for a gas station at about 135 miles. It would be sweet if someone (hint, hint) came up with a gas gauge fuel cap.
