This is from a while ago, and not exactly what you asked for, but I figured I'd post it.

I did a little experiment the last 2 tank fulls, partly due to this post, and I wanted to figure out how people are getting 50 MPG. I have a 96 750 (No performance mods), which skews the "600" post and the "50 MPG" mark, but take it as you will...
Setup. I drive about 110 miles per day, 95% backroads (55 mph speed limit), 5% in town (30 mph speed limit). I can provide the exact mileage that I got per tank if needed, but it clouds the real results. This is subject to a little error, due to not getting the tank to the "Exact" spot when figuring out mileage, but I attempted to get it to the as close as possible (bottom of rim, no burp, held up with my legs when filling). I did the test on Full tanks due to the margin of error being smaller with a larger volume of fuel. Here are the results.
1st Tank, Drive like I normally do (I'll leave that to your imagination), 42.906 MPG
2nd Tank, No more than 62 indicated, nothing past 6k rpm shifting, 48.717 MPG
At $3.14, that's 7.3 Cents Per Mile and 6.4 Cents Per Mile respectively.
At 180 Miles per tank, that saves me about $1.62 per tank.
Carry on. I reserve the right to revoke this statement if my math is wrong

The "180" miles per tank is about as far as I will take the tank down, and I normally fill it sooner (I based these numbers off of the amount of fuel, not tank size. I can't remember the amount of fuel used, but about a full tank). I haven't found how far the tank will actually go, but I don't want to. I really don't want all the nasty bits in the bottom of the tank to mess up the carbs. 180 is pushing it, farther than I like. I think you may be using the wrong numbers for the size of your tank to come up with 30 mpg.
Hope this helps.

Last tank I measured was 36 or 38 mpg, 50/50 hi, city. Some hiway miles were 90-95 mph. Just RS-3, stock timing.

I'm getting the beast re jetted at the moment, as i've just put in the k&n so not sure how it will go now apart from faster with less fuel efficiency lolsigpictime to get off the board and on the bike

With gas at $3.19 a gallon, my bike is now being used for more than fun. I'm getting everything primed for slightly warmer weather when the bike becomes my full-time commuter. 45-50 mpg on the bike is MUCH better than the 20-22 in the cage.Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

my 91 is right at 47-49mpg each and every tank, unless I got stuck in traffic for an extended period of time.
That's with stock jetting, post 98 600 header, Scorpion slip on, stock airbox / filter, and an ignition advancer.
I figure I'll lose some mpg with the 750 swap...but who cares...it's still double what my truck gets...

I don't know exactly how many miles I get. I figure it is around 45mpg. One thing is for sure though, it gets way better gas mileage than anything else I own

Hm...I ride mine everywhere I can, so lots of combined city and highway mileage.
Let's see: '06 Kat 750, bone stock. I vary my riding considerably from gentle town riding to hitting highway speedlimits in first gear before shifting up. From November 8th I've put 10,000 kms on the bike (6,000 miles, near enough) and kept pretty good records of mileage over that time.
In the last 33 tank-fills recorded, I've averaged:
262 kms (163 miles) to reserve with some short fills;
5.7L / 100 km (49.3 miles / IMPERIAL gallon; 41 miles per US gallon)High-velocity Geek
