My vtx has never actually gotten that kind of mileage. The most I have ever had was like 35 mpg. I have accounted for the incorrect odometer in my calculations. I usually get between 30-33.

Wow, 30-33 is low. My wife's VTX got 40-45 routinely even when cruising on the highway. It was an '06 1300S, FP jet kit, wind screen, pair mod, V&H pipes, and lots of chrome. This was at an elevation of ~800 feet (central Michigan and Ohio).

"around town". Involves more shifting than out on an open road. Thats going to eat more fuel.
