33mpg
My 2002 (790, Staintunes) get's approx 33MPG. I have to switch to reserve at about 95 mi. That said, I think I need a tune up as the previous owner told me he got closer to 43MPG. Also, I think my shift points are a bit higher than his were.
TBD

my '07 (or is it an '08) black and white ranges from 40 to 45 MPG (US gallons)
usually switch to reserve at 230 Km about 140 miles. have ridden up 280 kilometers before filling up, ie 50 ks on reserve.

2007 Bonneville Black, 4700 miles.
Around 45 MPG, roughly 140 miles to reserve. I usually go straight to a filling station, and it usually takes on about 3.5 gallons in a 4.2 gallon tank.
I use the 89 Octane, mid-range regular.
In my experience, there is a noticable difference in MPG between riding faster, as in >75 MPH, and riding easy. Riding fast I sometimes see as little as 125 miles before reserve (I always reset the odometer at each fill-up.)

The best I've had from my 08 model EFI Thruxton (950 miles on the clock) is 140 miles until the reserve light.
When topped up it worked out at around 56 Mpg.
Other times I've had between 48-53 Mpg. And yes, I am talking Imperial (4.5 litres/gallon) here.
Perhaps I need to ride more quickly...

Typically 55MPG (Imperial) but does vary with riding style. The rest of the clue is in my sig.

40 MPG - 115 to reserve. I used to get 45 MPG before I did a mild tune, but the bike runs much better after the tune up, so I'm happy with 40.
As others have seen - MPG changed during the first 2000 miles, as it got nicely run in.

When I first bought her last year I averaged anywhere from 35-40 depending on how hard I rode. Now with 3500 miles on her she averages from 50-55 mpg.
