Not sure what the calculation is but, over here in aust.

I get average 5.1-5.6 litres per 100km during commuting (Depending on if I'm late ill give it a bit more)
Freeway at constant 100km/h it drops to 3.5 to 4litres.

This is a F650gs with no bag or anything, just me.. how many miles do you get from full to the reserve light coming on? I get about 220km's - 136miles.

I'm getting around 300km until fuel light comes on. According to OBC, mileage is around 55-60mpg.
In 5th gear, at 90kmph, the OBC reports 70 - 80 mpg. If ridden hard, mpg drops to ~35mpg

Average over the last 2200 miles of mostly two-lane, rural roads is 49 mpg. Vario side cases always on and usually loaded.

I usually get in the mid 40's running my caribou cases at about 85mph

If I slow down, I can get it over 50

Going through Yellowstone last fall, From Cooke City to Jackson Hole, I got about 64MPG!!! Wife got in the low 70s with her 658. Thats what 45mph all day will do... I kept wanting to stop for gas, but gauge wasnt going down, I thought it was broken. Then when I filled up, wasn't even near empty!!

42.5 MPG to start with...2013 F800GS

Units: Miles per US gallons
Trip Meter: 85 miles
Rider: 6' 180 lbs
Luggage: None
Windscreen: Stock
Exhaust: Stock
Riding Conditions: 80% Forest Service Dirt Roads, 10% Asphalt, 10% Single Track & Jeep Roads, 100% beautiful New Mexico sky. Not shy on the throttle.

Results of short 85 mile ride: 42.5 mpg according to the 2 gallons it took me to refuel. If I took it easy on the throttle...less fun but probably better MPG. I'll have to try it sometime...
