Its not "oh my goodness thats great mileage" but given the factors you have against you, its really not as awful as the folks grumbling below seem to think. They are correct that your speed is killing it quite a bit. The amount of HP required to break Aero resistance at 75 mph is quite higher than just 60 - 65 mph. Compound that with the heavy weight of that tire and wheel combo, (I know those MPTs are heavy and Stazworks wheels are no joke) so there is quite a bit of energy consumption there and in the fact that you have a pretty wide rolling tire patch size too.

Try running a little slower and see what it gets you.

What is the CPL or HP rating on your engine build? How big and what type of intercooler are you running?
