last time i did that, i got 430 miles on one tank. from LA to the bay. with all the mountains in the middle, that was not too bad. i had about 1.5 gallon left. thats average about 29. i think i could've done better except i was doing 80

It should, but I've never owned a manual DX. My GS-R gets 31-35 on average though.

Speaking of 6th gear, I was so used to the bike already that I absent mindedly tried to shift to 6th in the Teg. Didn't really happen :hs:
