1. What is Bike Mileage?

Bike mileage, measured in miles per gallon (mpg), indicates how many miles your bike can travel using one gallon of fuel. It's a key measure of your bike's fuel efficiency.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Distance \) — Distance traveled in miles
• \( Fuel \) — Fuel consumed in gallons

Explanation: The formula calculates how many miles the bike travels per unit of fuel consumed.

3. Importance of Mileage Calculation

Details: Knowing your bike's mileage helps track fuel efficiency, plan trips better, and identify potential mechanical issues when mileage drops suddenly.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: For accurate results, fill your tank completely before a trip, note the odometer reading, then fill up completely again after the trip to measure exact fuel consumption.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's considered good bike mileage?
A: Typically 50-80 mpg is good for standard bikes, while high-efficiency models can achieve 80-150 mpg.

Q2: Why is my bike's mileage decreasing?
A: Common causes include improper tire pressure, dirty air filter, poor quality fuel, or mechanical issues.

Q3: How can I improve my bike's mileage?
A: Maintain proper tire pressure, service regularly, use recommended fuel, and avoid aggressive acceleration/braking.

Q4: Should I calculate mileage over multiple trips?
A: Yes, calculating over several fill-ups gives a more accurate average than a single trip measurement.

Q5: Does riding style affect mileage?
A: Significantly. Consistent speeds (40-50 mph) typically give best mileage, while frequent stops/starts reduce it.
