Gas light usually comes on at about 110-120 miles.

Max number miles I've gotten on a tank of gas 162
Min number miles I've gotten on a tank of gas 110

Mine runs consistent with others. 95-110 in town...120-130 highway. However, I almost never get more than 110 or so, because what's the point of riding a triple on the highway!

sometimes mine seems to come on early, like 70-80 miles, then if I hit a bump or do a little wheelie, it may shut off! The computer says I'm getting about 40mpg.

Usually 110, but once it came on at 70, then I waited a while and it shut off, then came on again around 100. Only 600 miles on the S3 though, so not much of a sample set. I also put on some TORs, with the remap, so I am curious to see if anything changes mileage-wise.

80 miles... think the 45 tooth rear sprocket and the 17tooth front have something to do with that though.. oh and a heavy right hand !!

I get about 110-120 with about 50/50 agressive versus just tooling around riding. Last time I checked the average miles per gallon (actual, not computer reading) it was 32mpg. I don't consider that bad as I was riding it in the mountains for that whole tank, constant twisties. The funny part was that the fuel computer said on that tank I averaged 46.5 mpg! What a useless gimmick that thing is.

Yeah agreed, I'm getting around 35 mpg (Imperial). And very occasionally wring the throttle. Do a lot of two up driving though.

My mileage during break-in was great (go figure). Since then it's been mid-30's. Gas light comes on around 115.

When I almost ran out due to a local towns garages being shut after a ride, I got to 182m (last 40 with the light on).
