I'm sure it does. Still, even if you figure 45 mpg x 3.9 gal tank that's 175 miles per tank if you ran it completely dry, so I am still confused how guys are getting 200+ on this thing. To get that kind of mileage I would imagine one would have to be feathering it all the way. In my case this bike is just way too much fun to resist cracking the throttle-frequently! You are a better man than I for sure!
My 6'2" 230 lb frame doesn't help mileage either. American Pharoah would NEVER have won the Triple Crown with me on his back!
