The fill up usually takes about 3.1 to 3.3 gallons of gas.
Although I have seen better then 55MPG, I still conservatively figure my MPG at 40-45 max so I don't end up doing "the biker's walk of shame".

I just refueled today after 157miles on the OD.... how accurate is that? No idea.etbike3135 wrote: Im saying this again. 30-35 mpg is the most I have ever got out of any 900/1000 or 1100. I don't know what magic people are using to get 40+ but I've NEVER gotten that. Your gas mileage sounds right to me.
It took exactly 3.3 gallons to take the level about a 1/4" under the fuel neck.
So, if the OD is 10% low, like my speedo seems to be all the time, I think I am getting about 157/3.3= 47.5mpg X .90 = <43mpg.
Still follows the rule I've lived with for 37 years in this saddle.... 130-140 miles... look for a gas station, hit reserve, find a station in the next 10-15 mins!!. LOL
