I only get 100 a tank (reserve usually 2-4 bars gone by that time), but i'm still getting 40mpg (2.5gal).

What could be my problem?
You're sticking the nozzle too far into the tank when you refuel, so the pump shuts off when you get to 2.5 gal. Take the nozzle out and fuel until it reaches the top of the neck (visually). Keep the bike on sidestand as you do this, then when you close the lid you will have a little air at the top.

Wow what kind of riding do you all do? I open it when ever I get a chance but traffic dicates the commute most of the time, filled up today with the reserve light blinking 2 bars at 185 miles.

This is on a completely stock 05, 6th gear in traffic = better mileage!

When I first got it I was coming on at like 75-85miles. No joke. Then I got my speeding ticket (90 in a 65). I now get around 150 before blinking...I could get probably 180. I average 38-40mpg.

I don't think I ever got more that 125 before I got my reserve bars.
