Don't accelerate too much in the lower gears. Keep your tire pressures checked. Keep the air filter clean.

Switch the engine off at a red traffic signal

[Abhishek Dwivedi]

stop biking and turn to cycle...being in class 12th am on it since last 2 year...

[Gigacore]

also turn off the engine in downs (only if there is no traffic )

[panacea_amc]

@panacea_amc : dude the thing u r talking about is called additive

105 rs and 100 ml bottle from castrol

it definitely boosts average by preventing less clogging in carburettor of dust

Drive at an optimal speed of 30-40 kmphr
avoid frequent brakes
do not instantly accelerate

The best trick (0% petrol charge )is to go in a friends vehicle....

Turn off the engine only if you are not going to start it again for at least a minute. Cause every time you kick the bike, it floods the engine with fuel so you waste more fuel if you keep on killing the engine at traffic signals.

use bicycles.
use electric bikes/scooters.
use REVA.

and never stop the vehicle while the signal is in amber

[damnthenet]

Btw, is anyone using electric bike or so that have flooded Indian market recently??? In case you use, give a brief review.

[dreamcatcher]

Never start your bike.Buy a bullock cart and carry your bike on it.

Use bikes which give more mileage Platina!!!

[goobimama]

Don't travel. Work from home. Let the pizza delivery guy worry about how to keep good mileage

[karmanya]

optimum speed for a car is 50 kmph, less than that and you dont have enough momentum, more than that and the air resistance is too much. though good luck getting the space to drive at a constant 50 in delhi. Resist the urge to inch forward at a red light.

[s18000rpm]

maintanence of vehicle plays a major factor too

Try non-medicinal acetone in the same ratio if you want better FE and pickup.. 2ml acetone/liter of petrol.
