If you'd want to figure it out at some point:

4) check your trip meter mileage reading

5) divide the number of miles from your trip meter by the number of gallons you just filled into our bike and that will give you miles/gallon

I usually write down the trip meter reading on the sales receipt form buying the gas. You'll have the miles and gallons on that piece of paper to calculate later. Reset you trip meter and you're ready to do it all over the next time you fill the tank.

check your MPG at least a couple of times to get a good idea of what your average mileage is. There can be one time readings that are way high or low, depending on where the error was made, if any.
Same process if you use kilometers all the way through instead of miles, it will just give you kilometers per gallon instead.
