    Default MAX KMS OUT OF TANK and advice!

    hey
    i have a 1990 VN Calais, and i dont know what the norm is for kms out of a full tank, but i am only getting like 315? What is everyone else getting. If you wouldnt mind, if your car has any mods to help save economy and any tips on how to do it.
    I just have a stock 3800, with K&N Panel filter in the standard air box with the front of the air box cut out....
    i dunno i thought i would at least get 350 or 370??

    thanks

    might wanna change your oxygen sensor as a starting point, usually helps economy a little bit
