Default Gas mileage and sore butt

Privously I said I got 61 mpg out of my c50. I thought this was a little high myself. Took another trip last weekend rode through a small city about five miles stop and go traffic rest was state routs and back roads running no more than 55mph and got 55.3mpg today went on a 130 mile trip no big towns just a few little burgs and stops signs etc ran 55 to 60 mph got 57.5. Today wife got 89.2 mpg on her 250 virago. Also stock seat is a pain in the ass just like the old intruder I had back in the mid 90s. The c50 is alittle better but not alot. wonder how much better a gel seat would be anybody own one?
