The important fact that all of us are waiting to know is their  " fuel efficiency ". According to the person at the TVS section in the AutoExpo2008, the company's claim is 112 km/l as against 109 km/l of that Bajaj XCD (the main competitor of Flame). And when talking of ON ROAD mileage, with XCD being at 65 - 70 Km/l, Flame is excepted to give atleast 70 - 75 Km/l.
