RE: avg milage per tank
After I got a $250 speeding ticket (exceeding the speed limit by over 100mph) I sort of throttled back a bit, hence my average gas mileage. I'm still a bit throttle shy on the highways. I racked up 8 points against my license and a mandatory 3 month suspension. Still, when I'm on my way to work and hit the private road to the site I work at, it's no-holds-barred and I can get her deep into the tripple digits........but mainly we're talking 65 to 85mph for my average highway speeds.
What is sad is that I live in the desert southwest and there are tons of wide open spaces and stretches of road that beg you to pin the throttle, but unfortunately there are a disproportional number of law enforcement personel taking the easy road, acting like they are full-time traffic cops. Sucks-a-lot.
I was getting about 110 to 120 miles per tank before the speeding ticket, but I'm thinking that 130 to 150 miles per tank is closer to the norm. One way or another it gets at least twice the mpg as my truck and is 10 times more fun to commute on. [8D]

RE: avg milage per tank
When cruising I try and keep it below 5k RPM where the secondary injectors are supposed to kick in. In that manner, I will get around at least 145 miles before my light turns on. Otherwise my light turns out around 131 miles with moderate riding.
I rarely go beyond 8k RPM except when I am being a bad boy [8D]
