Errr it is a magnetic reed switch that should respond to the magnet. It is not inductive.

On my R80G/S at 80 km/h and a light throttle I can get 4.5l/100km ..
Slow down - you'll get better economy. Of course there is a lower limit where you'll need to go down a gear .. don't do that .. stay in top gear but get a speed where the engine is just happy .. I think 80km/h is about the optimim speed .. for economy on most of my bikes?
On a bicycle the optimum speed is around 21km/h that is where the rolling resistance and the air resistance equal one another .. both those depend on many factors - rider shape, weight, tyres used, tyre pressure etc etc..
