The main thing is having the bike properly set up to begin with,serviced,fuelling,tyres and pressures,then once all that is done adapt your riding so that you make maximum progress without being aggressive. try and adopt a "flowing " action to your riding using the higher gears with gentle acceleration and soft braking,use the engine braking and the torque to its max.
As a foot note I NEVER got less than 150 per tank and kept up with everybody else and not always at the legal speeds
