It's around that price in the UK just now.  Equivalent of $6.50ish, 
although the weakish dollar makes that look higher than it really is.

The tune will only help so far, as at a certain point you've got a big 
engine which will always generate lots of friction and heat, not to 
mention it's a heavy bike with large surface areas.

My girlfriend's 125cc 1988 Suzuki can easily manage 85-90mpg commuting, 
so maybe you need to downsize?  :-D
