        • Another mileage report!!! Filled 4 litres of normal petrol. Kept speeds above 60km/hr. Maximum 75-90km/hr and minimum 63km/hr. ON highway and in city. Mileage is 43. Thats one advantage of this bike . U can zoom by greater than 80 plus speeds and still achieve a 40 mileage. So have any of you got similar figures
          Reduce 1 km/hr speed, add 1second 2 ur life.

            Wow man, that stat will rise some envious looks from other FZ owners. But in this thread no one other than you seems to be bothered about mileage .

              .
              dude i guess it's just you an me in the epic battle of THE MILEAGE . i've ripped past three digits too , it's still the same u can try it ...

              P.S : Feels funny quoting my own post .

                Oh nice to know you are nearing your targets.. I used to get around 45-47 during the run-in period .I was conscious about the mileage then .Only used to rip when necessary and 4.5k barrier was rarely breached.
                But in the process of my bike passing 1k I was in so much love with the machine that I hardly care about the mileage it gives me now.. I now ride so that i enjoy my 4.5km to college everyday instead of worrying about mileage..

                PS:Now I'm calculating mileage again with no changes to my riding style ie occasional bursts of 70-80 and an average speed of 40. Ill tell you when my 2ltrs of fuel gets over..

                  Ya thats becos squeezing 65 mileage from a bike offering 60 plus mileage is not a great thing.
                  But squeezing 50 plus mileage from a performance bike offering 40 minus can be considered great.

                  • now a days am constantly reaping more than 40kmpl out of the fz...
                    wat i do is ride sanely when driving to wrk or some other chores u see and wen am with my frnds rip it and go crazy wen i wanna ....works out to gr8 effect try it....like this time got 425kms on 10 lits of fuel...

                    till date since buying the bike:

                    Total Money spent on fuel. = Rs 6600
                    Total lits of fuel at Rs 48.06 a liter = 137.3
                    Amount in the bike still (including reserve)=1.4(reserve)+ 0.9(approx)= 2.3lits
                    So total fuel consumed = 135lits
                    Total Kms done = 5300kms
                    Mileage = 5300 / 135 = 39.25kmpl...

                    am quite happy and this figure was 37kmpl last time i did the same calculations....

                      I don't really understand you calling FZ a performance bike. Yeah it do look like a performance bike. The power is almost same and it is approximately 15 kg less even so.

                      P.S. - Me and vinchel are classmates

                            I have found that the mileage on reserve is more than when in ON . but i'm not sure if the position of the fuel tap has anything to do with it ...
