I get about 120 miles before it gets to the reserve. So it is close to 40 mpg. I get better if i take it easy but generally i don't

I ride to work everyday. Straight highway I get about 50mpg. Usually hang around 7k rpm in 6th gear. My bike gets best mpg running around 6-7k rpm. Not bad for a sportbike. Nobody figured out the 0-60 on these?

Seems to average around 46mpg for me. With my new replaced k&n air filter my gas mileage has gone up a couple mpg. i can now do 160 miles before I hit reserve on the highway - bone dry should be good for just under 200 miles.

ya i get around 40-50 mpg depending how i ride, but i got a question, the manual says the tank for the f3 has a 4.5 gal capacity with the reserve being 0.8 gal capacity, they mean the 0.8 is included into the 4.5 capacity rating right?

I used to get right aroud 50-55 mpg just going through town and a lil bit of country riding. But recently because of the stupid gas change that our government mandated and adding more ethonyl and taking out some other ingredient its been down to about 40-45 mpg big difference when I used to go 170-180 on a tank and not its 140-150 before i have to switch to reserve.
