I agree with dgc333. Something is way wrong. I've had my turbo for 13 months and the worst I have ever gotten was the week I installed the Stage 1 upgrade. That week I got 13.7 MPG, but it included a lot of playing (read: punching it) and 15 passes down the drag strip!

My daily commute is 26 miles stop and go city driving and I usually get about 245 miles per fill up, netting a little over 18 MPG. I have only been on a couple of longer highway type trips, but averaged about 23 MPG on those. As those who know me, I am not about mileage when I drive my cruiser. While I don't really speed excessively, I rarely baby it.

I would say it's time to take your cruiser to the dealer and have it checked.
