Fuel Efficiency in Royal Enfield Motorcycles
Royal Enfield bikes are iconic for their retro styling, thumping engines, and long-distance capability. Due to their heavy build and torquey engines, fuel efficiency is lower than commuter bikes—but ideal for touring and cruising.
Fuel Consumption Tips for Royal Enfield Riders:
- Maintain steady speed: Avoid rapid acceleration and braking to conserve fuel.
- Check tire pressure: Under-inflated tires reduce fuel efficiency.
- Regular servicing: Clean spark plugs, correct valve clearance, and clean air filters improve mileage.
- Right gear, right time: Avoid engine strain to reduce consumption.
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
