Petrol price fluctuation and monitoring (India)

@ravi bhai,
dont you think the pulsar-180 & gladiator(125cc) are delivering the same fuel efficiency of around 59 kmpl?? & even the p-220 is delivering 55kmpl??
Are you sure that the fuel efficiency figures tested by SIAM are correct??

These figures most probably under standards conditions. The mileage will be around 15% less in real conditions. All the figures are most probably when you ride around 40-50 kmph.

but according to the tests conducted by the overdrive the gladiator & stunner were giving these fuel efficincy figures

Honda CBF Stunner
City: 63.9kmpl, Highway: 67.2kmpl, Kpl (overall):- 64.7kmp

Yamaha Gladiator
City: 67.8kmpl, Highway: 74.2kmpl, Kpl (overall) 69.4kmpl

Overdrive's FE figures generally are on the higher side as they test them under conditions close to ideal. On the other hand, ACI measures the FE values under very harsh conditions and generally the figures quoted by ACI are at least 20% less than the OD figures.

Ultimately, everything depends on how they choose to measure the FE with varied riding habits and habitat.

discover 90kmpl
how ?????
its a 125cc bike ..right ?

Time to settle for a Activa or Dio with CNG. I was already planning to get a Scooter with CNG, Will save on emissions and will be damn cheap to run . Or how about a Eterno with CNG? Less than 50Paise/km

Lets just remove the MOTOR and jo back to just CYCLE

Price hike

[NANOtechnology]

i already have a tough time filling my baby up with only dad as a resource of money..
maybe have to sell my bike and go green!!

[lockhrt999]

I too hate price hike...but I think it's good idea that they are going to decontrol the prices...now they will have some cash to spend on agriculture and ammunition and weapons etc,.

[antz.bin]

Pune price will go up to 55+.. not looking nice.. Looks like i will have to move on to 0-bhp now..

[thefalcon]

Damn.. In Bangalore prices will become 58+ !!!
At this point i'm considering selling my GS150 and buying a couple of sporty cycles..
We can discuss ABS for cycles on xbhp then

For your information, mileage figures of various bikes by SIAM, taken from team-bhp. I guess this is highly relevant in this thread.

i doubt its jan 10 , coz it doesnt have RTR180

i still cannot accept the fact that the stuner is delivering more mileage than gladiator. The stunner has got a short gearing due to which it is unable to deliver a high mileage than gladiator. If you say that the stunner pgmfi is delivering the same mileage then I can accept it with my eyes closed because of its FI & long gearing.


the mileage of p180(59.90 kmpl) & p220(55 kmpl) is also not believable. Being such a big engines it is almost impossible for them to deliver such a mileage.
