How will attaching a petrol lock affect the mileage of bikes?

not sure what you mean by a petral lock?

if when unlocked it is full open and does not limit the flow your gas mileage should be the same.

If someone is stealing your gas every night it should help alot.

no it won't affect the milage.....

It won't affect the mileage at all......

Unless you loose the key of course in which case you'll find you might be forced to make the tank last a great deal longer than usual.

No. It should not hurt your mileage in all circumstances. Sometime mileage increases.

What happens is:
1. The new lock has a smaller hole, so the flow is slower.
2. Due to the flow being slower, your bike runs leaner.
3. This increases your mileage.

But do not be too happy if your mileage increases due to this reason. If your bike runs too lean all the time, it will cause irreparable damage to the engine.
