For the past 8 odd months ago that I bough the FZ, it had mileage issues, which was fine until the government again increased the fuel prices
So at last fed up with the deteriorating milage rate I went to a local mechanic for a tune up.
did i mention the figures? well the bike started of with a 48 and the last heartache was a 32 kmpl !! a 220 gave more!!
But before tuneup Mechie wanted to confirm the average and did the standard test of 100ml.
my smug look vanished when the bike gave a 53 kmpl. traitor.
So with a smile that said " you insolent punk..."
but the actual words were " dude ride with love, and ofcourse in high gears whilst avoiding knocking" :s
the wise man had spoken and after leaving me lighter by 40 odd bucks I was (un)ceremoniously dismissed.

okay so now i had made a mental note of what he said and how he was driving!
next thing was to test this pearl of wisdom, which came sooner than expexted
A trip covering 300 kms to meet dad, back from kargil for a few days
though skeptical I did as told - " early high gears, but without knocks"

(I was still carring a liter of fuel spare, can never tell.)

and LO BEHOLD!!
while returning back a quick glance at the tripo and few mental math later I was letting out a warcry in the middle of the highway, GOT A 59kmpl!!
from 30 to almost 60!!!

Thank you O wise mech.

ps: I averaged at 55~60 kmph and after the reveletion of high avg even let it rip to 121kmph on a slope ... for a few minutes ofcourse
