Motor.nl tested a Suzuki GSX-800T at steady speeds and found its best practical result at 60 km/h in sixth gear: 29.5 km/L. Consumption fell to 26 km/L at 100 km/h, 18 km/L at 120 km/h and 14.3 km/L at 140 km/h, showing the rising penalty of speed.
A spec sheet cannot show how much the chosen gear changes economy at the same speed. The GSX-800T returned 23.8 km/L in fourth at 60 km/h but 29.5 in sixth. I don’t think lower revs are automatically better, yet this test also recorded that 2,100 rpm in sixth at 50 km/h felt rough. Both the number and engine feel matter.

At the same 60, 23.8 in fourth versus 29.5 in sixth is a huge gap.
So riding slowly in a low gear isn’t automatically better.
Chasing economy still has to respect the traffic flow.
Holding 100 km/h would make fuel-stop planning much easier.
It drops to 18 at 120 and 14.3 at 140? That’s steep.
29.5 km/L at 60 km/h in sixth is seriously efficient.
If 2,100 rpm feels rough, don’t chase the number alone.
