Well, I don't have an RT, but my RS has an RT engine in it now.
Anyway, it has always gotten between 38-42, depending on how I am riding it and in what conditions. Only when I've been riding in the Rockies did I get significantly better gas mileage, with a personal best of 52 once, but typically in the 46-48 range. This may have to do with both the high altitude and the lack of California gas (although the typical octane is down a couple points, up there).

34??! Man, even my R90S with its pumper Dell'Ortos does better than that. (I guess the Techlusion is sort of like an accelerator pump for FI...)

Wow, that isn't very good gas milage. I average 46 - 48MPG riding two-up. Even if most of a tank is short trips (doesn't happen much), I 'll get low 40's.

38 tp 40 mpg in town. 2004 R1150RT. I seem to run around the 4.3k to 4.7k rpm range in town. If I drop down to the 3.5k to 4k range it will be about the 45 mpg range on the highway.
