  Fuel Efficiency

Believe you me, this is what makes it a super commuter!

There, I have said it and it really speaks volumes about the work done by the TVS engine team to not only make the revamped bike sport major gains in Performance but also in Fuel Efficiency. Not many can achieve such in both diametrically different departments and normally one gains at the cost of the other but in the Fiero F2, Performance and Fuel Efficiency reside happily together just as they do in the Caliber 115. I think it is symptomatic of the breed of new bikes by Indian OEs who are really working to push the combined Performance-Fuel Efficiency envelope which is what is drawing many buyers to their fold.

The revisions in the torque spread and the new gear ratios for second and third have seen to it that Fuel Efficiency has been boosted tremendously. Of course playing within the confines of the optimum efficiency zone of the dual map ignition system also contributes greatly to upping the Fuel Efficiency which has seen the Fiero F2 register massive gains not only over its predecessor but also over other bikes in its segment. In our runs (carried out as usual by Aspi Bhathena), the Fiero registered a best of 68kmpl while in our high speed Performance testing and such she delivered a praiseworthy 52kmpl to register a 60kmpl overall fuel consumption figure. Contrast this with a 55kmpl best and a 49kmpl worst figure for its predecessor and the gains are all evident. This trait, more than anything else, should begin to dawn on many the significance of the super commuter title.
