Factory bars, no shield, stock jetting, different exhaust routinely netted mid-70s on mine commuting, 35 and 45 mph roads. Best it ever got was mid-80s, longer ride at freeway speeds to blow out the carbon and then more country 2 lanes.
With the current bars and jetting netting a whopping 36 mpg... it has been parked and dismantled for over 2.5 years.

We ALWAYS
ride the posted speed limits since she is new to riding. I asked her if she ever "twisted the loud handle" and she said no. She said the bike has lots of power and I only need to give it a little gas to get up to speed!!! There is your MPG How-to!!!
As for drafting... She rides a bit ways back from me since a lot of our roads are pot hole filled and I point them out with my boots. I would guess the bike has barely seen the new main jet, but it runs great!
