How do I save petrol in my bike while driving?

I just moved from the U.K. to New York for work. I’ve read that New York City traffic is horrifying, so I want to get a motorcycle to make transportation easier. How can I conserve petrol while I’m driving?

! To save petrol in your bike while driving, follow these simple steps:
  • Stay up to date on routine maintenance.
  • Check the pressure in your tires before you ride or at least once every two to four weeks.
  • Remove any extra weight you might have on your bike or limit what you’re carrying.
  • Accelerate slowly.
  • Take the highway instead of the city whenever possible.
Oh, and a little word of advice to get acclimated to the U.S. Most Americans call petrol fuel or gas. People will probably still understand petrol, but making the transition now might make life easier!
To ride a motorcycle legally, you’re going to need insurance.
