It also depends on the roads/terrain being traveled.
The 200-300cc range does not have the same economy range as a 125cc platform cycle.
But If you're doing highway speeds than a lower revving twin cylinder will probably get better economy than a screaming single piston.
If your averaging about 50mph on twisty back roads with some gravel and dirt than the average dual sport will get the job done better than the smaller and larger displacement alternatives...
The optimizations that often get discussed here are more about dialing in the untapped potential rather than maximizing top speed which is also more about keeping up with average road speeds and other motor vehicles.
How this effects economy is subjective as same gains will cancel out negatives.
60mpg is a rough baseline for the CG250.
