Harley-Davidson Fuel Efficiency Insights
Harley-Davidson motorcycles are built for long-distance cruising, powerful torque, and unmatched style. Their large-displacement engines prioritize performance over fuel economy, but understanding consumption helps in ride planning.
Tips to Optimize Fuel Use on a Harley:
- Maintain Low RPMs: Cruise in higher gears to reduce fuel burn.
- Use Premium Fuel: For optimal combustion and mileage.
- Check Tire Pressure: Reduces rolling resistance on long rides.
- Regular Servicing: Ensures engine tuning and cleaner combustion.
Formulas Used:
- Fuel Consumption = Distance ÷ Mileage
- Total Cost = Fuel Used × Fuel Price
- CO₂ Emissions = Fuel Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors: Petrol = 2.31 kg/l, Diesel = 2.68 kg/l, CNG = 2.10 kg/l
