I must be doing something wrong. ;D The absolute best I've ever seen is 16.5 and I'm usually around 13.5 with the black key, 12.5 with the red one and 7.5 on the track. That said, I don't do any sustained highway driving since the Boss is generally riding in a trailer on the highway.

I'm with you, I only get around 13 with the red key. I don't use the black key but can't imagine getting over 20 with it unless I was on a long roadtrip.
 
I'm getting 16-18mpg around town (Dallas suburbs). Haven't done any long highway trips.

I've found the mpg readout to be a bit pessimistic. I always get slightly better mpg than the readout says, about 3%.

I haven't really seen a significant difference in mileage between the two keys. The more highway driving, the better the gas mileage with either key.
