And also use unleaded, not super unleaded unless your bike has anti knock sensors

Stupid question but could you be putting the rear brake on while you ride or could the brakes be binding ?
I know nothing about bikes, just guessing.

You've got a very valid point there. It males a pretty big difference if your carbs are out of balance, and your brakes are binding, and your chains too tight and not lubed, tyres underinflated. They all make a difference to your fuel consumption.
