Beat Rising Petrol Prices - 5 Best Mileage Bikes in India Giving Over 65 Kmpl

Petrol prices have crossed Rs 100 per litre in several Indian cities in 2026 and for someone covering 40–50 km a day, that's a fuel bill that compounds quickly. The commuter motorcycle segment has always been India's answer to this — and right now, there are five bikes returning well above 65 kmpl on ARAI testing, with the best touching 73 kmpl. If cutting your monthly fuel spend is the priority and you're not ready to switch to EV or CNG, here are the five highest ARAI-rated petrol bikes you can buy today.

1. Hero Splendor+ XTEC 2.0 — 73 Kmpl

The XTEC 2.0 sits at the top of this list with 73 kmpl — the highest ARAI mileage figure among petrol commuters in India right now. The engine is a 97.2cc air-cooled single-cylinder OHC unit making 7.91 hp at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm at 6,000

rpm, through a 4-speed gearbox. The XTEC 2.0 gets a full LED headlamp, full digital cluster with Bluetooth for call and SMS alerts, Real Time Mileage Indicator, i3S idle stop-start, hazard lights, a mobile charging port and a side-stand engine cut-off. Fuel tank is 9.8 litres and kerb weight is 112 kg. The i3S system is directly relevant to the mileage number — it cuts the engine at long signal stops and restarts on throttle, which is one reason the XTEC 2.0 edges out the standard Splendor+ by 3 kmpl. Hero covers all its motorcycles with a 5-year or 70,000 km warranty.

2. Bajaj Platina 100 — 70 Kmpl

The Bajaj Platina 100 hits 70 kmpl and makes no attempt to be anything other than what it is — a bike built for the lowest possible running cost. It runs a 102cc DTS-i engine and gets Bajaj's ComforTec suspension setup which has a longer rear travel specifically tuned for rough roads. That's a practical differentiator for buyers in smaller cities and rural areas where road surfaces aren't predictable. Drum brakes front and rear keep maintenance straightforward and parts costs low. It's available with both kick and self start and it sits at one of the lowest price points in the entire commuter segment.

3. TVS Sport — 70 Kmpl

The TVS Sport also returns 70 kmpl and sits a small step above the most basic commuters in terms of finish and features. It uses a 99.7cc air-cooled single with TVS's Ecothrust fuel injection, which contributes directly to the mileage figure. Higher trims get alloy wheels, a semi-digital instrument cluster, an integrated braking system along with a mobile charging port. It's for buyers who want the fuel efficiency of a commuter but find the most basic options too stripped down in terms of equipment. The mileage number doesn't change but the ownership experience around it does.

4. Bajaj CT 110X — 70 Kmpl

The Bajaj CT 110X is the odd one out in this list — it looks like an adventure bike, returns 70 kmpl and is priced like a commuter. It runs a 115.45cc DTS-i engine and comes with longer-travel front forks, 180 mm ground clearance, wider tyres as well as a more upright riding position. For daily riders who deal with waterlogged roads, broken tarmac or semi-rural routes, the CT 110X's chassis is more capable than any other bike on this list at this price point. The mileage matches the Platina and TVS Sport but the bike it is underneath is meaningfully different.

5. Hero HF Deluxe — 68 Kmpl

The Hero HF Deluxe returns 68 kmpl from the same 97.2cc OHC engine as the Splendor+, in a more basic package. It gets telescopic front suspension, 5-step adjustable rear suspension, tubeless tyres and i3S idle stop-start technology. The 2 kmpl gap between this and the XTEC 2.0 comes down to the absence of some of the more refined fuel management features on the higher trim. For buyers who want a reliable, no-frills daily commuter at the lowest possible price and aren't bothered about Bluetooth or a digital display, 68 kmpl at current petrol prices works out to roughly Rs 1.47 per km — which is the number that actually matters for most buyers in this segment.
