Okay, so with my bike ( a bajaj wave, about 11 months. Fuel tank capacity: 5 litres ) i've recently begun to put in only one litre of fuel at a time with the expectation that the mileage would improve and guess wat, it has! in fact, it's improved by about 7-10 kilometres per litre. Anyway, my theory is that whether there is one litre of space above the level of the fuel or 4 litres, the concentration of fuel vapours in that air will be the same. But when there is more space above the level of the fuel (close to four litres) then there is simply more fuel vapour available per cycle for the combustion engine which means that the engine will be putting out more work per cycle. Now wat i don't know at all is how more energy per cycle will affect mileage but anyway, i await your answers.
