Some interesting points here. Although the tank may hold 22 litres, if it is like my 2001 model, there is about 1.5 litres at the bottom that won't come out. So I dought you would have got another 50 miles on it. Your 275 miles on 19 ltrs is about 65.79 m.p.g.. This is possible on a steady run if you limit the speed to about 60 m.p.h. and with gentle acceleration, just like the nun. With normal fairly sensible riding I get 60 m.p.g. (If you had been recording Km instead of miles you would be getting about 41 m.p.g., I don't think that is the case). It will be interesting to see what you get next time you fill up.
As for the fuel gauge, it is not what you would call accurate, but does give a fairly consistant guide. You may have noticed that when you are going up a hill it will show different to when going down hill. Mine is a 2001 model, but with 15 litres in the tank the gauge is off the top of the scale, so I do about 60 miles after filling up before the gauge starts to move.
I have always found the mile-ometer on mine pretty much matches what the sat-nav predicts for a trip, so I would say it is accurate.
