Bought a Hybrid

Your '03 Civic barely has enough power to get out of it's own way and your Gixxer does not get 50mpg. If it does then you're doing it wrong.

I'm lucky if I get 35mpg on my bike.. You riding it like a scooter? Or do you not know your fuel capacity?

I average about 49 mpg commuting on the bike(01 FZ1), closer to 35 in the canyons. I have customers with Harley Dressers that average above 50. Some bikes (notably japanese twins like TLs and VTRs) get absolutely atrocious mileage (sub 30, if you're beating on 'em). My XT350 will get 65 mpg at 60-70 mph, but I can't feel my hands at the end of my 27 mile one way commute. My F250 on the other hand gets 14 mpg.

Yes, when commuting no reason to ride it like anything but a scooter. Weekend rides I do not get 50 mpg.

Capacity is 4.8 gal but thats seems irrelevant, unless of course you run the bike bone dry to see how far you can go.
