    I've actually gotten about 24mpg out of my Marauder (60 mile each way commute to work).

    I'm thinking that a K&N and a tune might squeek me out a little more.

    On long trips, I normally got 22, however one time, when returning to Florida from New Mexico, I got 24. I figure it was because I was going "downhill" with the wind to my back.

    Recently its been going downhill - 19-20 mostly highway.Something may be acting up. No C/E/L however. I'm going to change my driving habits because they have been very "lively" to say the least

    I averaged 22.3 mpg on the way up to MV-V, and 23.5 on the way back.

    Got around while I was there. Go figure.

    I usually get 24-24.5 on open road driving. I can do better if I keep the speed around 70 or under.
