This is an impossible question to accurately answer.  terrain conditions, jetting, mods, throttle discipline (or lack of) all play a major role in fuel economy.

Dual sporting my crisp jetted stock KX500 with good throttle control on logging roads I can squeek out about 45 miles on a tankfull

*edit*  Oops, I also run a 15T sprocket when I dual sport, hence the better fuel economy

The Flyin Hawaiian:
I can squeak 38 out of a 2.2 gallon tank on my 500 if I take it easy. Easily under 30 when on it. This is a 04 KX250 chassis conversion.

Motorrad:
My 87 held literally wot the entire time... Through the dunes pulled 11mpg...

My 91..  Havnt clocked it yet.. But last desert race.. The 2 laps used  half tank..   Tank is 3.8-4.2 gal depending who you ask...  Lap was 24.8 miles
