I've got the tors and I ride pretty hard. I've gotten 150 miles a number of times and have not run out yet (05 s3 w 9k mi.). I think it helps to keep feathering the gas pump nozzle to keep feeding when it seems full. I have had it over fill and run out once before.

I usually get 140-150 miles before the light comes on with general riding, but if I push a bit I get 120-130. A ride last week (with a guy running his bike in so little hard accelleration) saw 175 before the light.

Mine's a stock 07 with almost 6000 miles on it.

I keep detailed gas records for all my vehicles.

Light comes on ~ 120-130 miles traveled (w/commuting)

I consistently get 35-38 mpg (calculated, not using the optimistic dash)

Gas Milage on 1 Full Tank

I have been getting around 125 miles on each tank full and then put between 3-3 1/2 gallons in the tank.

115-120 miles consistently before the light comes up.
I have found the reason for overly optimistic dash mpg: bike was set for UK gallons, not US. It is still optimistic, but much closer to reality. If you are in US and getting mpg too great to be real (dash), check the dash units code: if "2", then you're on UK units, for US should be "3".
