Yes, I think you can count on 45 MPG (US gallons) like enigma said.
I do hope you plan to put a few all-day rides on the bike before taking it to the continent! That way you can find out how the seat is.
I didn't mind my seat back when both the bike and I were younger (the eighties), but for the last 10+ years my original saddle got really bad. Even after I refoamed it (with supposedly good foam) I could only do 1/2 hour.
Beads didn't work, sheepskin didn't work, nor did a gel pad (which works delightfully on my new CBR250R!).
I ended up replacing the seat with a replica from S. Meyer and was never more comfortable!
