1) Use correct tire pressures. Open the door and look at the frame housing the door lock for the pressure readings for each of the tires in psi or kPa.

2) DO not carry heavy loads in the boot all the time. Keep the car as light as possible.

3) Avoid jackhammer driving. Accelerate smoothly instead of stepping down hard on the accelerator.

4) Reduce the use of the air conditioner.

5) When travelling, wind up the windows a little so as to reduce the drag on your vehicle from the airflow.

Of course I do hope your thermostat was not removed. Enough has been said about this already.

How about moving out of Lagos grin

How well is it serviced?

If I recommend you service it with a mechanic then you won't have any car at all, just deal with the bad fuel mileage

Change the vehicle. heavy consumption of fuel is in its DNA. That engine 6G72 series is a gas guzzler.

Far from the truth, I own one and can categorically tell you its not a fuel guzzler. I average 280Miles for a tank of 18 Gallons which comes to about 15.5MPG for city driving while if I travel a full tank gives about 350miles (19.5MPG-highway). So don't jump to conclusion on a car you don't own. @OP scan the car and the house can walk you through resolving the fuel consumption issue; important also to check if your thermostat is still on the engine.

I recently saw a post where someone said between 90-120 thousand Naira for a good grade. Important to check exact specs you'll be replacing online before going over to Ladipo.
