I get between 95 & 100, all city driving.
I was getting 100 - 115 when working. Mostly state roads, minimal stopping, ave. 45mph.
My car was 28-32 combined.

So how much do you then put in? Given the tank is 1.56 gallons and a ballpark mileage is 100 USMpG, you have maybe 30 miles left (assuming that you have not been WOT for the tank). Seems to me that it is not an inappropriate time to warn us to get some juice.
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

The most I have gotten out of my tank is 144 miles. It might have gone a little farther but I wasn't going to push it to find out. When the gauge starts blinking there is usually enough for another 50 miles, but who wants to temp fate? Consider 144 miles per tank as the max you will get, since mileage depends on a lot of factors, including how easy or hard on the throttle you are.

I have recently got out of a 2013 pcx a full tank of 291km (that should convert into 180.81 us miles ) i filled in surprisingly 6.19l were the tank size should be topped to 6.10...i think i really reached the lowest possible limit.

Wow! 180 miles out of that little tank? That would mean you got around 115 Mpg! I bet Honda would be proud of you.
Realistically though, if you rode extremely frugally you might be able to get that out of it, providing you didn't go over 35 mph, you started off real slowly, and you coasted to a stop as often as possible.

For the rest of us, I would have to advise that you look for a gas station when you hit 135 - 140 miles on the tank.

My fuel gauge starts blinking at about 100 miles, soon after I fill up. I'm at 80 mpg(US) average though.

The 2016 model has a larger gas tank, plus you have a 125cc engine so that is doable for you, as long as you are easy on the throttle. Those of us with the 2013 model 150 will get the lowest range. I wish we could just swap out the old gas tank for the new, but that does not seem to be an easy thing to do. Someone on this forum was in the middle of attempting this, but I haven't heard how it is going so far.

144 mpg is an honest number. RPM of the motor (or how you drive determines variation) AT 60 mph the mileage can drop to 82 mpg !

When I ride I love to take it out to back country roads that have a 45 mph speed limit. I spend my time on the ride looking at the beautiful countryside. Since I am not pushing it, I let the bike coast going down the hills and I try to keep it at a steady 45. That seems to be its sweet spot. It just runs along fine and doesn't complain. I am going to miss it when I eventually sell it. It is like sitting in my lounge chair watching the scenery go by. :-)

I am usually around 130 miles when the gauge starts blinking. I average just over 100 mpg. My best milage was 120 mpg but I don't remember how I rode to achieve this. I have gotten around 110 mpg several time.
