 Fuel Economy

Autocar India readers must be quite familiar with our format for Fuel Efficiency. Just a reminder that the figure that we publish as the worst is derived during the measured test session and is never representative of what the average user will be confronted with. Not unless he ravages the bike the way it happens during our testing. Relying on past experiences with the earlier bikes from the same stable, we were ready for the worst, happily that never happened.
  
The Crux lived upto the assurances we had received regarding its frugality in using fuel. Starting with the worst, which at 46kpl is certainly commendable things just got better. At the other end of the scale, where we squeeze the utmost that we can from every drop of unleaded fuel that goes into the tank, we were rewarded with an astonishing 75.3kpl. The figure of 56.1kpl in the city needs to be considered a bit kindly because under different circumstances we could have got a bit more, the reason being that we rode it in dense traffic for most of the trip and made quite a few unnecessary gear changes (the shift quality, remember! It invites swapping gears). So the manufacturer's claim of 60kpl should be readily available. We took it out on the highway and in spite of grabbing handfuls of throttle frequently, albeit staying in top gear mostly (the ever-present torque makes shifting down redundant anyway), a litre of fuel took us 68.6 kilometres. Need we say anything more?
