Awesome scooter I purchased it on 1st MAY 2014.
I was impressed by the design, look, comfort and mileage of the scooter. it’s a scooter and differs from bike. I was unsure about the Milage claimed by TVS 62Km/Ltr.
When I decided to check fuel economy of the scooter I did following exercise :
I made the fuel tank totally empty by driving it till last drop of petrol. When it stop at 102 kilometer due to an empty tank. I filled 4.5Ltr Petrol which I had carried separately in can.
I started driving, ( for safety precaution I kept half liter of fuel in a bottle separately) after driving the vehicle between 20 to 40 Km/ph at ECONOMY MODE( GREEN INDICATOT IN METER) in about 10 to 12 day my Scooter stopped at 354.8Km.as the fuel tank got empty.
So in 4.5 litre petrol I got the mileage of 252.8 kilometre(354.8Km - 102Km)
So my scooter gave me a milage of "56.17Km/Ltr"
I Hope that I get improved mileage after servicing and it may touch 60 kilometre per litre.
I would like to add that this test was carried on 50% village roads n 50% Highway.
Damn Happy with shooter! The only problem with a scooter it is a bit less comfortable for a tall person like me of 5"11.So cant get the comfort like my Pulsar.But after all its a Scooter.
