I had the Uly with the race kit (exhaust, ECM, Filter). It didn't matter if you beat on it or rode it easy, I regularly got 50 MPG.
I have a HEAVY throttle hand and am 6' and weigh 250 with gear (not the best for aerodynamics). A lighter rider with a smaller "cross section" could see 60-65MPG. Best tank I ever got, I went 180 miles before the fuel light came on. Usually the light came on at 150 miles.

I was talking to the finance guy at my dlr. He said there were a few of those. The dealership can't do anything about it. Told the customer to call buell and/or corp directly.

I was riding a YZF600R at the time so what did I try to do? Wrap up the RPMS! And I remember the feeling distinctly... Oooooh... here comes the power... and then at ~4500rpm... poof... rev limiter.  It didn't stop me from being interested in Buells, but it certainly made me realize the striking difference in motors.

Once the light comes on, you have 29.5 miles. NO MORE! Don't ask me how I know.
