That's not too shabby either
That's 54 and 69.9 mpg (US)

I run Dunlop SP2000 tyres as original fitment on 32psi front and 35psi rear.

Those would be regarded as
flat tyres by most folks on here
How about cranking up the pressure ?
Have a look on the sidewall what the tyres will stand, and gradually increase the pressure.
The ride will get harder, but your fuel consumption will drop.
When the ride gets bouncy, you've gone too far.
On my V50 I won't increase the pressure beyond what the tyres are rated for - 51 psi - as the rear end gets a bit too bouncy beyond that.

I am missing the two front covers from the roof bars

If you don't really need it, remove the roof bars entirely.
