Claimed mileage 35 kmpl. What it costs per km, per month and over five years.
Claimed vs real mileage

At Delhi's petrol price of ₹94.80 a litre and a claimed 35 kmpl, the Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel costs about ₹2.71 per km in fuel. Ride 30 km a day and that is roughly ₹2,113 a month, or ₹25,352 a year, before servicing.

Spread over five years and 46,800 km, the Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel works out to about ₹8.5 per km all-in, of which 32% is fuel and 58% is the purchase price itself. Resale value is not counted; expect roughly 50–60% of ex-showroom after five years for a well-kept example.
Getting the best mileage
The quickest wins for the Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel: keep tyres at the recommended pressure (under-inflation by 5 psi can cost 2–3 kmpl), shift up early and avoid idling at long signals.
Short trips hurt most. A cold engine on a 2 km run can return half its normal mileage; if that is your use, expect the low end of the real-world band.
Service on time. A clogged air filter or old spark plug shows up in mileage before it shows up anywhere else.
