I have been using Road Trip LE on my phone since the beginning. 3509 miles, 59.2 gal, average 63.45mpg. Around town I get 58 - 62mpg, in canyons and fwy, 65 - 75mpg.

Cold weather plus fast speeds dropped my mileage this tank. 
This is what my bike was covered in when I got of work.
This is very hard water!

Initial tank, varying rpms and gears widely during the break-in period, 68.3 mpg. Not too shabby.
I couldn't locate a thread dedicated to overall average efficiency and I apologize if one has already started and this is redundant. (nyuk nyuk) After realizing just how efficient this machine is, I registered on fuelly.com to keep track of fuel cost, mpg, etc.
With exactly 1002 miles on the odometer and according to all mileage and gallons I've entered on the fuelly site, average efficiency is 67.9 mpg. My best tank achieved 70.5 mpg.
My opinion is this. Honda has designed a true motorcycle that's practical, handles extremely well, is fun to ride, easy to maintain and delivers the fuel sipping efficiency of a scooter.

My average is currently 73+ (US) mpg, according to the Road Trip app on my phone. I'm closing in on 8000 miles. This week won't do any good though, since I've currently got my seat in for retreading, and so can't ride the Honda. More on that when I get the seat back, probably in one of the seat threads.
Maybe I'll pull the cover off my Suzuki and run that around...

Yep. Winter gas formula inflicted by our EPA overlords is junk mpg killer.
Plus in warmer weather the air is less dense meaning less drag resistance.

In 8000 miles I have yet to achieve 70 mpg on any tank of fuel in what is for me normal driving, which includes some traffic. I did slightly exceed 70 on one trip when the whole tank was burned on the interstate cruising at 75 or so. Much faster than that and mileage falls off quickly, as one would expect. Mileage seems to be pretty consistent at almost 70mpg regardless of whether I use the low shift points recommended in the manual or if I shift at higher speeds, as long as I don't have too much slow traffic. Mileage seems to suffer more than other bikes when you have to go slowly though. When I ride a lot in stop and go traffic the mileage seems to suffer much more than other motorcycles (but those machines were only getting 30-40mpg to start with, and the NC still beats that easily under any conditions I have seen).

I just filled up yesterday... 2.8 gallons with 218 miles on the trip meter ---> 77.9 mpg! My previous ride used to get about 35 mpg...

My MPG has been pretty consistent, falling between 65 (cold and rainy in the PNW winter) to 75 (pleasant summer days). For the first time this year, I got over the 70MPG hump this past week.
Mine is finally starting to climb again. You can tell winter is ending.

By cold starts do you mean just starting the bike and driving right away or just the number of times you start the bike?

First two fill ups on the bike with riding in a bit of stop and go and two/four lane country roads and I'm getting the on the sticker 64 mpg.
I have a lots of starts on those tanks of fuel as well since I ride back and forth to work and running errands on the bike as well. I would buy the 70+ mpg if I just started it once and rode at ~60-65 mph for the tank.

Two tanks. 89.9 first all city driving. 68 on the second mix of fast highway and rural roads. Averaged out to 79.9 overall US gallons. I can't help but think the first tank is an error.

Is it possible to fill more gas if I use the centerstand? I can only manage to fill ~2.5 US gallons when the red bar starts blinking. I am getting 190 to 200 miles for each fill up. Somewhere between 75mpg to 80mpg.
That's odd. I regularly fill up 2.9 or 3.0 gallons and that is 10 miles or so after the light starts flashing. I always fill up while on the side stand. What do you use as the place to stop adding fuel? Most of us use the little hole in that backsplash tab (my words).
