Is there any way to get better gas life out of the stock tank...and how long does that regular tank last you think?
Best way to get good fuel milage is to leave it stock, i though mine did pretty good, but thats compared to all the dirt bikes ive had, my cr125 i have now is twice as bad as my blaster
2 gallons last me about 2-3 hours. We tend to take more quick breaks than most i think though. do one rip through the woods, talk a little, then go again
stock gas tank is 2.4 gallons?

Ours do pretty good, but the kids don't ride them very hard. They can ride them at least half day.

WOT is very fuel consuming, lay off the throttle a little, keep it on the needle unless you are going to be smoked.
I have the I.m.s 4 gallon tank but i dont like how close the trinity pipe is to the bottom of the tank.. but definitely gas hogs!!
If you're sure you're not jetted too rich, and can't reduce your main jet, you can always do what I do; get a six-pack rack grab bar and use it to carry a 2.5 gal gas can on the back. Not sure if you can put your tank cover back on with the over-sized tank, but the one for a banshee is ugly as hell and they're outrageously expensive.
Lol, yeah they do EAT gas... especially when modded!
I must carry a extra 10 liter of gas tied to the wheelie bar, just to be able to do the same trip with the 400 4pokers. (And then I still closely monitor usage...)
You could go back to stock???
For every 40% increase in jet size, you have a doubling in flow ( if I remember correctly). So if you had a 200 jet and went up to a 310 jet... thats quite a bit of fuel extra...
Note that that is mainly on WOT.

Speed and power come at a cost.
A tip a Biddleonian gave me was if you fear running out of fuel, ride as fast as you can so you can get there before you run out.
Really one should not complain you can double the power of a Blaster for less than double the cost of fuel.
