My KTM Duke 200 offering 58Km/L after 5M Mileage Boost! I couldn't contain the excitement! Took out my phone and captured this miracle. Only this time, I couldn't hold myself from sharing it with my friends on social media. Although this happened last year in March 2016, I've waited for more than 10,000 Kms to give this review so that beyond any reasonable doubt, no unwanted side effects would surface later on Even now, after 10,000 Kms later, the average mileage is around 42Km/L in city and 48Km/L on the highway. I'd highly recommend everyone to try this amazing technological invention made right at our home in Hyderabad. Is it worth it? The 5M Mileage Boost has cost me 1500 Rupees. Due to it, during 10,000 Kms, on average I have saved at least 70 litres of fuel and around 5000 Rupees. Moreover, to top it all like an icing on the cake, his technology claims 25% reduction in carbon emissions and 60% reduction in Unburnt Hydrocarbons. So, was it worth it? Absolutely yes. To anyone doubting the technology, I'd tell you this, you have to experience it to believe it. Note: 5M Mileage Boost technology works on all Motorcycles and Cars (Petrol, Diesel, LPG and CNG). Ten fuel saving tips every driver should know. Make Fewer trips Did you know that when you drive a car that has been parked for a few hours, the engine is cold and it uses much more fuel for the first five kilometres or so? Ideally you'd combine all your daily errands into one big trip. Often that's not possible if you have to pop out during the day to drop off and collect the family, but try not to go out separately to do the supermarket shop or buy a newspaper. Don't drive in the rush hour There are few worse places to spend your time than stuck in a traffic jam, but it's also a very expensive way of travelling. Every time that you stop and start in traffic, your car needs first gear and a huge amount of fuel to get moving again. Second gear is not much better. The best solution is to not travel during the rush hour. You can also save some fuel by trying to understand what the traffic is doing in front of you, and travelling steadily at a slow speed, rather than accelerating and braking. If you have to travel in rush hour a lot, then you could consider buying a hybrid car, which uses much less fuel in town than a normal petrol or diesel. Close the windows (and sunroof, if you've got one) It's not so much of a problem when you're driving in town, but when you're out of town or on the motorway and moving more quickly, the shape of your car is very important. Car designers call it aerodynamics and make lots of effort to reduce the drag and make the car as sleek as possible. anything that makes wind noise as your car goes along is actually making your car more expensive to run.
