E-10 will knock about 10% off your MPG. That will take you from 40 to 36. Lots of places do not label the stuff so you can not know if you are using it or not.

I have an 02 Heritage with a stage 1, Klock Werks wind shield, and fangs. I am getting 35-37 back and forth to work and 36-39 on the highway. Best ever was 42 in the mountains.
