    Default Re: What kinda MPG are you guys getting?

    I traded my 2006 GL1800 which got about 38 MPH under almost any condition (2-up at legal speeds). Bought a 97 GL1500 Aspencade with Roadsmith conversion. Am getting 30-32 mpg riding 2-up at legal speeds. I found that the gas tank on the 1500 wasn't quite as big as on the 1800 so I have since added the Roadsmith auxiliary 5 gallon gas tank kit and go about 250 miles between fill ups. The only downside to the kit is that the auto shut-off on any gas pump doesn't work on the aux gas filler for some reason so you have to be careful or you will wash the side of the trike with gas. The gas gauge isn't particularly accurate for either the aux tank or main tank so I watch the odometer.

    I was a little disappointed at the mileage when I first got my trike but just noticed in Motorcycle Consumer News that a period test of a 97 GL1500 SE had average gas mileage at 32.6 mpg... I am getting pretty close to that after the trike conversion so I guess I should be happy!

    With corrected speedo on our 08 GW1800, we get 27-30mpg with "spirited" driving.

    I have pulled 36 MPG 2 up and running 70 MPH. You have to keep that speed to bring the average to come together.
    I've tried different ways, BUT this is the best average you'll get.

    At 60 or under on back roads I can get 36 to 38 ,drop the hammer on the interstate and I am lucky if I get 28. This is a 1800 2010 wing with 2012Champion kit solid axel.

    32 - 34mpg with my 2010 goldwing CSC most of the time. I did, however, get mid 40's when I was sightseeing in the Rockies.

    Default MPG

    I'm getting 16 mpg on my Collins Corvair trike and only 25 on my 2001 GL1800 trike. I think the Goldwing should do better than that with 41K on the odo and new tires.?? Any Goldwing guys have input?

    I think i'm getting between 32 and 36 MPG's on my 2019 Tri-Glide I say Think because i never can fill the tank exactly the same at every fill up''...So with a 6 gallon tank a few more or a few less ounces will only give you a ballpark figure..

    Interesting old posting. Lots of unfamiliar (to me) people participated. My 2008 Goldwing/CSC trike consistently gets 33-34 MPG. Prior to upgrading the drive line and removing the clunky gear box (that is now obsolete on CSC) I was only able to achieve a maximum of 30 MPG..... Jim

    My 2012 Triglide gets about 38 MPG on the highway with the cruise set. Put our 3 X 4 trailer behind it and the milage drops to 33-34 MPG.

    Have no idea what the MPG is.... When it needs fuel, we just fuel up... On our trips We stop every 125-150 & fuel when we stop

    I am not going to worry about mileage

    When I get low I put gas in, I bought this trike to ride it, not worry about it
