Stop looking at my title!
Depends a lot on the traffic conditions and types of roads not to mention speed. For commuting I usually get around 38mpg. When I'm touring I get 45+

I ride a motorcycle
I get about 42 mpg while commuting to work and while on weekend rides in the mountains. I haven't done any touring yet. Seems consistent with the other responses so far.

I have had my bike for more than 5 years and I have no idea what the fuel consumption is.
I fill it, ride it till the gauge is low or starts flashing then I fill it again

I get a consistent 43 MPG in my weekly riding (80% city/20% highway). If I'm doing all highway I get 49-50. Isn't it L/100km in metric countries?

I'm a little OCD, so I'm one of those guys who spend the next five minutes after every fill-up doing the mental calculations. During my break-in period, I was getting 46 with a high of 51 on a 1.5 hour commute. Since break-in period, I'm getting about 44 MPG. Post-break-in riding has seen many more 8000 to 10,000 RPM revs. There's a lesson.

I kept track for the first couple of months I had it. I was getting up to 50MPG! As I got used to the bike, it seemed to get lower and lower. Now with most of my riding >7000RPM, I get around 35MPG.

If I can keep the revs down and just tour at 60/65 MPH I consistently get 50 MPG. OCD too, so I check it every tank. Of course if I'm in the twisty's practicing it drops some, but never under 45 MPG.

52 MPG average in 4200 miles. Combined city + hwy miles, this is even better than my TDI ("only" gets 43 MPG).

Keep in mind that our fuel is more than 20% ethanol, so we´ll have higher consumtion.

In touring mode I get about 55 miles to the imperial gallon.

My best was 50mpg and my worst was 42mpg. I usually check each tank. The basic rule of thumb is as the tach gets higher mpg gets lower! The 42mpg tank spent a good deal of twisty riding with the tach at 7000 or greater. Around town with occasional bursts of speed usually get 48mpg.

I've gotten as much as 50 MPG (touring) and as little as 38 MPG (thrashing the curves), but I average 40- 45 in mixed riding. GRUMPY

Anywhere between 35-45mpg depending on riding style.
Easily get 45mpg on the highway/touring.
