I use FillUp app on my phone to track this so have max MPG achieved, average, lowest, longest distance between filll ups, average distance between fill ups, total distance driven, average distance driven per month.
So as an example I get approximately 42 MPG average, have had a max of 50 mpg, and a low of 36 MPG.
All that said I broke the 1,000 mile mark on the odometer last night on the way home from work, so much more riding to go to get good trending information on my bike usage, and MPG

I really need a 29-33 MPG poll.
I voted for the 34-36 since it was the lowest one available.

I fill it up when it is empty, never checked the mileage as it is something I can not control and fuel is relatively affordable

45 mpg seems to be an anomaly. What kind of weather conditions? Wondering if MPG varies based on temperatures? I am wondering if windshield has a major effect on mileage. Wish I had included that in the poll.

I was consistently getting 45 mpg, but the last 2 tanks were 40 mpg. I haven't changed my riding style, so I"m guessing the winter blend gasoline is the reason.
