Exactly the same here. I don't grasp the obsession.

I know my mileage numbers pretty well for both bikes. While I don't calculate it every time, I've done it enough to know what to expect. The info comes in handy when you want to plan your fuel stops on a long ride (in a region where there may not be a station every 10 miles).
I do the same with my plane. I can usually guess how much it'll take to fill up within a few tenths of a gallon.
Same with me.
In the region, where I live in, this knowledge isn't really necessary
to survive when it comes up to fuel.
It was a whole different situation in the north of Europe cruising through
Lappland and Finnmark. There weren't many gasoline stations,
so I benefit more than one time from my experience of how much
kilometers I could get out of the Honda's tank with the rest of the fuel, while driving
peaceful.
But instead of running empty on fuel, on travels I always bring a little canister of extra 2l gasoline with me...
