On ride Friday the light came on at under 1/4 tank and 145 miles. City and highway but mostly highway. Filled with 5.0 gal even at 155 mile, info said I had 20 miles left. Only 1100 miles on this R3T so not broke in yet, might improve.
 
I ran up 150 miles yesterday until the light came on. I had to drive another 30 miles before I could find fuel. I was sweating it a little but turns out I had only had used 4.8 gallons. After riding a Vmax before this bike, I was hunting for fuel every 100 miles and had about 35 miles on reserve. I am a little hyper-sensitive about fuel and prefer a happy tank!

My 2014 R3T gets about 185-195 on highway trips before the derestricting tune. With the tune I get around 165 on highway. Around town it gets about 135 to 150. These are fillups with 5.5 or more gallons.
 
I usually get gas about every 140 to 160 miles. Much of my riding is on an interstate and the next station might be 40 to 50 miles away.
 
Even though I don't drive like a "Hooligan" most of the time (heh!); I do enjoy the feel of solid acceleration (quite addicting!!!) and get around 28 miles per gallon (combined city/highway)... giving me a range of around 120 miles before I start searching for fuel.

So after a few more tanks here's my mileage:

34 mpg behaving
31 mpg commuting with a bit of play
28 mpg being a general asshat (normal)
25 mpg stop and go traffic

Probably like 40 mpg if I could get myself to ride at the speed limit on the freeway for a whole tank without traffic (not possible).
