    We rode the 250 Duke in both city and highway conditions, emulating what everyday riders go through as much as possible. For the city ride, we snaked through jam-packed traffic, throttled aggressively for quick overtakes and killed the engine at long signals, resulting in a final fuel-efficiency figure of 24kpl. On the highway – where we maintained a cruising speed of 80-90kph in sixth gear, downshifting for overtakes and passed typical highway situations such as truck traffic and tolls – the 250 Duke returned 41kpl. We attribute this to the sixth gear that is clearly optimised for cruising.
