Riding Experience
City riding
Inside city conditions, the Guerrilla 450 feels:

Mileage Achievement – Verified Calculation
Mileage formula:
Mileage = Distance travelled ÷ Fuel consumed
Your actual ride data:
Distance travelled = 117 km
Fuel consumed = 2.55 litres
Mileage result:
117 ÷ 2.55 = 45.9 km/l
This confirms genuine high-efficiency highway performance.
City milage 26km/liter
Why I Achieved 45.9 km/l
Several factors contributed to this result.
Steady cruising speed
Maintained constant speed:
80–90 km/h
This keeps the engine in its optimal efficiency zone.
Easy Cruz throttle assist
Helps maintain steady throttle input and reduces unnecessary acceleration changes.
Improves fuel efficiency consistency.
Correct tyre pressure
Maintained:
Front = 34 PSI
Rear = 38 PSI
Reduces rolling resistance and improves mileage stability.
Windshield installation
The visor reduces aerodynamic drag on the rider’s body.
Less throttle effort is required to maintain speed.
Smooth riding discipline
Avoided:
sudden acceleration
harsh braking
unnecessary speed variation
Result:
Maximum fuel efficiency.
