Many Indian bike buyers are concerned about fuel efficiency and Yamaha has promoted the FZS Deluxe as a fuel efficient offering in its segment. Still though, actual fuel consumption in the real world often isn’t what the manufacturer claims, and owners and potential buyers argue. The bike’s mileage in city traffic, highway cruising and mixed usage in various conditions is being shared by riders. There are some who report figures not far off, or even above, Yamaha's claims while others are disappointed with the actual efficiency they are getting. The chat often consists of comparing the bike to other bikes in the segment and tips for riding techniques that will help you get the most fuel economy.
