Don't just chase the highest claimed number! My experience with the TVS Sport: yes it gets amazing mileage (I get 80+ on highways) but the trade-off is power. It struggles on hills and with a pillion. The sweet spot for me has been the Hero HF Deluxe - gives me 75 kmpl realistically but feels more substantial.

Other factors people forget: 1) Idling: Turning off the engine at long stops saves fuel. 2) Route Planning: Taking a slightly longer route with fewer stops can be more efficient than a short route with 10 traffic lights. 3) Warm-up: Modern bikes don't need 5-minute warm-ups; 30 seconds is plenty. 4) Accessories: That big windshield or heavy carrier rack increases drag. Honestly the rider matters more than the bike - two people on identical bikes can get wildly different mileage based on how they ride. Choose a bike you're comfortable on that encourages smooth riding.

As a game dev I want to emphasize: you can't just take a .exe file from a PC game and make it run on Android. They're completely different architectures (x86 vs ARM) and operating systems. What you see as "ports" are actually complete re-implementations or use compatibility layers.

For modern games streaming is your best bet. I use Moonlight with an NVIDIA Shield-capable GPU on my PC and it works amazingly with a Bluetooth controller. For older games DOSBox is magic - I've played old Sierra adventure games and even early Fallout on my phone. Some dedicated communities have made Android ports of open-source games (like OpenTTD OpenMW for Morrowind) but these are exceptions. Manage your expectations - you won't be playing Cyberpunk 2077 natively on your phone anytime soon!

A simple low-tech method my grandmother taught me: Soap water test. Mix some liquid soap with water to make a soapy solution. With the gas turned ON at the burner carefully apply the soap solution along the seam of the cylinder valve. If you see bubbles forming it means gas is escaping (which it shouldn't when closed) but this also gives you an idea of pressure. When the cylinder is full even a tiny leak creates lots of bubbles quickly. When nearly empty the bubbling is much slower if there's any leak at all.

But honestly the most reliable way is to just have a spare cylinder ready. In India most distributors offer a replacement within hours if you call when you notice the flame weakening. Don't wait until it's completely dead - order a replacement when you see the first signs. Safety first: never try to heat the cylinder or tilt it to get "the last bit out" - that's extremely dangerous!

There are a few reliable ways to check if your LPG cylinder is empty or running low. The most common method is the hot water test. Carefully pour hot (not boiling) water down the side of the cylinder. Wait a few seconds then run your hand along the metal. The part of the cylinder that still contains gas will feel cool to the touch while the empty part will feel warm because the metal heats up quickly. The line between cool and warm shows your gas level.

Other signs: 1) Weight: A full 14.2 kg domestic cylinder weighs about 29-30 kg total (cylinder + gas). An empty one is around 15-16 kg. If you have a scale you can check. 2) Flame behavior: When the gas is very low the flame becomes weak yellow and might keep going out. 3) Frost line: When gas is being used at a high rate you might see a frost line form on the cylinder showing the liquid level inside. Always be cautious and never use open flames to test! For accurate tracking consider getting a gas level indicator that attaches to your regulator.
