I think I can get close to the mileage of the Ninja with the GS (65-70 MPG). I know the GS accelerates at the same rate with much lower engine RPM.

I think it is possible. I've seen 60+ mpg tanks in a GS500 topic I frequent, though it's not typical there - it depends on the riding style, of course. With low rpms and anticipatory driving you should be fine.
