It depends. If I'm just commuting to work and around town I get around 59 mpg, which should be good for about 145 miles. In the twisties I start looking for gas at about 90 miles though.

I fill up at 85mi but running it to reserve I can get 100 easily. I just fill up at 85 to be on the safe side and I don't ride the bike "gently" I think if I rode it like a normal human I'd get a lot more miles but it is a DRZ...hence the hooligan antics.

3x3, full Yosh, jetted, I recorded 60mpg the other day. I might add that I was giving it complete hell the entire tank. Numbers do not mean anything if you have to take it easy. Thats right Prius owners.

I must be doing something wrong then, my bike cut out on an off-ramp at 69 miles... I put it on reserve and went right to the gas station. There, I crunched the numbers and it was just under 44 mpg. The bike had under 1400 miles on it when I got it last week. I guess I was "pretty hard" on the throttle, but the thing is basically stock.

Would the 3x3 mod and a jet kit help get me a few more mpgs? I might do it anyway, because the thing could really use a little more power.
