Calculating the efficiency of any automobile is pretty simple, but calculating that of a motorcycle is all together different. Riding styles vary from individual to individual and can affect fuel efficiency for the same vehicle when ridden by a different person.

Some of the factors that affect fuel efficiency are the gas formula used, riding style and accessories used for the motorcycle. While calibrating a mileage chart for motorcycle fuel efficiency, remember that such factors can cause variations. Therefore, such a chart would only be a general guide as against accurate miles per gallon of the motorcycle.

Most motorcycles generally have a gasoline engine or an internal combustion engine. Some use a different type of fuel. Those that run on alcohol combustion are however not as efficient as those run on gasoline. Alcohol and gasoline are also used together as a combination fuel. Some motorcycles run on a diesel engine and work to 50% efficiency as compared to a gasoline run engine. The gasoline-run engine continues to enjoy the highest popularity because of its fuel efficiency.
