When is the last time you did a tune up? Plugs, wires, air cleaner and lube might do ya some good. Injectors will help too if you have any not working

All depends on how you use the skinny.... I can get up to 15mpg but I also need to get to where I am going in a decent amount of time.
Plus I carry over 200lbs of tools in the back of mine
