Chennai: For the middle class, mileage is a crucial consideration while zeroing on a two wheeler. However they are really baffled to find out the correct mileage figures of any model as the claims of vehicle manufacturers were subject to the rider `under standard test condition'.

However the standard test conditions widely vary with the actual riding conditions. Further the fuel used to test is quite different from what is available in the petrol bunks. This also determines the actual mileage for the vehicle users.

In order to help the consumer to understand the real world mileage figures from every motorcycle in the country, automobile magazine, Overdrive, conducted a detailed never-before test of each and every motorcycle available in India.
