[ST] fuel consumption

One of my mates, Johan, has a yellow 2003 Sprint RS.
I met him for a beer after work yesterday, and we got to discussing fuel consumption on our bikes.
He tells me he uses between 4.5 and 5.0 liters per 100 kms, 20 to 22 kms per liter. According to him he never does less than 330kms before hitting reserve, and most of his riding is commuting through traffic to work and back. (330 kms is 206 miles).
I was shattered, I use 6.0 to 6.5, and usually hit reserve at 230/250 kms.
I know he rides more gently than me, but I had no idea it would make such a difference.
cheers
