I used to check mph and "worry" about it but then decided it is what it is (besides, I can tell if a major loss of mph by the trip odometer anyway). I just fill it up when my light comes on ;)

I would agree with that...if you can have a Nomad for a toy the little extra gas cant be too bad.

Hey Socwkbiker

Yup I had the same thing happen my milage tanked big time too (28 to 30) but after getting it mapped just right I am now at 34 to 38 MPG depending on how I ride. I'm more than willing to lose the 5 or 7 miles per gallon for all that extra power but thats me...Stock nomads cant even keep up with me no matter what LOLOLOL.

I am not terribly thrilled with the Power Comander on my 1600! Done the K & N - V & H's & now the PC III and mileage has tanked!! Yes the power is very good!! But when you go from 47 Mpg to 30 - 35 Mpg that sucks!! My local stealer has re-mapped the thing numerous times and blames it on the fairing & trunk I added. Well, before the PC III with the pipes & K & N the d**n thing got 44 Mpg consistantly! With out the Fairing & trunk it was 46 - 47 Mpg no sweat! I was Okay with the 44 Mpg but now it doesn't matter if I am One up or Two Up pulling a loaded trailer I get 35 - 30 Mpg and that's that!
May have to get a Lap Top and dig into alittle deeper!!

This afternoon I'm having the PCM III installed. I'm looking forward to this. Honestly, have to hope this has been worth the hype. I'm a bit of a sceptic.
