Activa & Shell

I wasn’t keeping track of my scooter’s mileage as I know that Activa is known to give less mileage, but I remember it was some where around 40 to 43kmpl when I checked few months ago. I recently started using the Shell petrol as I have a Shell pump on my way back home from office. I was quite surprised when I calculated my mileage last time which came to 46.7kmpl. I just couldn’t believe my self that it made such a big difference. As I wasn’t convinced that it is true and I might have calculated it wrongly so wanted to check noting down the readings CORRECTLY this time. So today when I checked it again one more wonder, not sure if I need to believe this also. It was 51.25kmpl. Now wait for one more reading?? :) this time I remember the readings correctly and there is no chance that it can go wrong. 

Activa giving 51 is something great which I never heard about. And it is not because of economy driving in fact I drive it worse than any other. Trying to beat every one at every signal and drag racing with my competitors like Innova, Scorpio, Safari and the Red Bus :) and indulging in drag races and driving it at high speed of 75kmph(High speed for a scooter at least). Even today as I was returning joined a race with two Bullets who are racing against each other. And guess who won? Me and my Active. Exaggerating? No. The signals came to my rescue and I won it :P. Also being a small scooter helped. 

So Shell and Activa… not all Activas only mine ROCKs.
