Haha..you're the mother of all fanboys.. :P

hey,what petrol are u using?

Actually, a lot of people research on what is the best fuel for your bike and try various brands and fuel variants. Some even go about adding fuel addictive to improve the engine life and mileage.

But the main point is missed ! THE STATION ! The bunk facility where you fill in your fuel is the main factor, or sometimes the culprit, when it comes to fuel quality. A lot of things affects the fuel quality, and the bunk facility takes the biggest factor of it.

-Fuel storage tank. The temperature at which it is maintained. Hotter temperatures in the storage tank may result in lower density and expansion.
-The fuel density maintained.
-Tampering of the pump and readings, which may very well be possible in India.
-Adulteration.

So the next time you want to fill up the fuel, make sure the facility is in its best shape.

As for the fuel itself. Of the 2 lakhs KM of driving and riding, i have noticed that Bharat petroleum has been returning better mileage and engine response. I have particularly been using speed for the last two year, and i am happy with it. Had a bad experience with SHELL. Like i said, its mostly the facility. Maybe the one i tried was bad afterall. Worst is HP. Worst fuel on earth, whatever facility it maybe.

For note to others in and around Tnagar, Chennai- Have been filling fuel for all my cars and bikes only in EKAYARS BUNK in VN road. Best bunk in the city. Their density is never less than 999. All the supercars and superbikes of Chennai fill in there only.

Ha ha.. You can surely call me that!

I'm using Power currently. Had filled in Speed once.

I'm a lil tensed.
Filled Shell xtrapremium. 6.35li for 500 bucks. Got 1li of normal petrol from the dealer. Total 7.35 at delivery.
Now the reserve is at 1.9 so by the time 'F' shows up 5.45li exact will have been consumed.
At 180, the level of fuel came down to the last bar. The odo is at 196.4 now.
Any calculated guess as to how much more will it run?

i am getting initial FE of 43 Kmpl. its been constant since i got my bike. and i have finished first service too some days back. right now i have finished 330Kms + of riding.

How do you measure the FE in V2.0? What is the correct method of doing this?

I guess this will work if we can find a petrol pump soon enough - so that the distance travelled after the reserve indication is minimum...

Hmmm...makes sense. Will try this approach.
Thanks.

Sure does. Will try.

But the question still remains, what petrol grade and brand to use. Anyone?
