Fuel economy...again

I have always been concerned about range on this bike..I get a fuel light usually about 135 or so. This weekend I rode a two hundred mile return trip and made an effort to drive in a manner to save fuel and the results were impressive (if not fun)
I didn't get a fuel light until 173 miles. I was tooling along about 50ish most of the ride in 6th gear..revs in the low threes. I was being careful not to lug it but it is nice to know if you are in an empty area you can increase your range by a little modified driving technique.
