900 miles in four days to the Georgia coast

Just got back from a motorcycle camping trip. 900 miles in four days. Went to the Georgia coast where it is still warm. Went swimming in the ocean. Jeykll Island has a great campground and is a beautiful place.
Around town here (mostly backroads) my GZ250 gets 75mpg. But on the interstates I am so near full throttle that this cuts the mileage way down to 62mpg. With my 76mph top speed I can run 65-70mph on the interstates, but I really don't like to. Sometimes you just have to take interstates to get anywhere faster.
The motorcycle camping trip, honestly, would have been better served if I had biked down there and stayed in a motel. On the bike I could carry so little stuff. A car camping trip would have been better )my car gets 40mpg) or a motorcycle/motel trip would have been good.
