40+ mpg on average.
I can roll 240 miles and put 6 gallons in.
Depending on the ethanol blend it can drop significantly - the ethanol 85 sucks

thats good milage fred , we don't have the E85 yet , but i'm not looking forword to it coming , and if we don't stop wasteing our corn on fuel for are cars and all the other stuff to do with packageing , and small engines , were not going to have enought to feed the food chain ,

Fred I don't think the Goldwing is a FlexFuel engine. E85 which is 85% ethanol can be very damaging to fuel systems not designed for it.
I hope you are talking about E15 which is 15% ethanol, and yes it does suck. You get a good 10% less in fuel mileage with it.

You are correct - mentally I subtract 15 from 100 and referred to it as E85.
