tank size is one factor, traffic, and wrist action are also factors
When I had a 4.2 gal tank, I'd average 127 miles between fuel stops commuting to and from work, but would average 160 miles between fuel stops when riding on week ends

If you are going to commute to work most days to work on the bike a touring bike really would be best choice for that distance.
You will need storage space for rain gear, cool weather,cold weather and everything needed for work lunchbox safety gear.
If you are just riding to work occasionally then you can pick only the gear needed for that day..
Even with the 6 gallon tank filling only gets me 5.5 gallons so if I don't joyride every 3 days I need to fill for my 35 mile each way commute.

especially when it comes to work commutes
so storage is not as important, but saddlebags would be nice at times
