Very true, on my last tank full I got exactly 46 miles before I ran out and I get 3 tanks per gallon so that adds up to 138 MPG. Biggest thing is how you ride, running around at WOT you're going to get a lot worse mileage then just cruising. On the 46 mile ride, according to my spedo, I averaged 19 mph with a top speed of 32 and that was downhill with the clutch in and tucked.
Took a couple of rides this weekend and after just 12 miles I was over half empty but that was a little different, top speed of 33.8 downhill not tucked and the throttle wide open, did quite a few downhill rides like that.
