What? Really?

I fill up every 100 miles but that is before the light comes on.

I've run out too many times  :P

Absolutely.
I wouldn't lie to you.

Not about that, anyway.  ;D

I fill it within a 1/4" of the top, and I generally do not ride it like I stole it.
But honestly haven't seen much difference on how I ride.

For commuting (in heavy, stop-and-go traffic) the light comes on anywhere from 145 km-160 km (90-100 miles).

On my Monster 1100 EVO I can go 95-100 miles before the light comes on and then I'm looking for a gas station.  I've gone 20 miles after the light comes on and the most I've added was 3.1 gallons which means i had about 1/2 gallon in reserve.  I average around 34-35mpg, sometimes less.

I get 80 miles per tank during general city riding on my 1100evo and 100-110 miles per tank if doing highway only.

I'm averaging ~45 mpg with mixed city/hwy driving.  I fill up at the 150 mile mark, but have comfortable gone beyond that without hitting the yellow light.

Wow. :-\

FWIW I'm getting 15-25 miles more w/ my CA cycleworks  tank on my 620-- so 160 to 175. The yellow light came on just out of range of a gas station. I took a gravel road short-cut and the light went out for the next 10 miles or so. Now I shake and tilt the bike when I top off.

That's about normal for  my M900, too.

I did get over 200 when puttin' along with my wife's Harley group (twasn't a fun day)

This happened to me too but with a sport touring group on my 695. It never had a chance to cool down and we were riding fairly aggressive.

04 620 - when the light worked years ago, it would come on pretty consistently at 160.  Light is on all the time now.  It usually turns off around 160, then comes back on a few miles later.

THat said, I do know that straight commuting, I can get ~210 miles out of a tank.

06 s2r1k mainly back roads and twisty's my light is on between 80-90.  Prior to full exhaust I was between 105-115

75 miles each way commuting, keep it around 85 (indicated) and the light comes on around 135-140 ish. when I fill up around 150-155 miles, I put anywhere from 2.9-3.1 gallons. This is a 2006 S2R1000 with BoomTubes, PCIII, vented airbox, 520 gearset with 15/43 sprockets. I also do between 10-20 miles each way of lane splitting at lower speeds.

Wow 100 would be great - are you running the stock DP ECU or has it been tweaked?

I swear mine blows raw fuel out the exhaust when sitting at a light. Once I was next to a Prius and the guy phoned his girlfriend to complain about the guy on a bike next to him with a giant carbon footprint (although I don't know how he could hear her) [evil]
