Forgot to mention my 48 is brand new only has 400 miles, still in break in, and I ride on local street only so far, the light comes on exactly at 35 every time, I always refill right after the light comes on, and I put in 1.4 gallons every time, so that's average about 23-25 miles per G, hopefully after break in it will get better.
Any idea if PC V gets better mileage?

Idiot (fuel) lights are seldom accurate and can not be used to determine accurate fuel mileage.
Fill the tank full to the brim.
Reset one of your trip meters to zero miles.
Go for a ~50 mile ride and then stop at a gas station.
Refill the tank to the brim.
Now, divide the mileage shown on the trip meter by the exact number of gallons (including tenths of a gallon) used to refill the tank. That will be your real MPG.
Now, if the first test was done with all city riding, repeat the test above out in the country where you can cruise steady for ~50 miles at 60 mph and see what that MPG number is.
