Coping very fine compared to when I had the i4.to crown it the said V6 is 12plugs not 6!

that must be a Mercedes, mine is a Benz E430 V8 16plugs. The only difference now is... My tank is now bigger all of a sudden, thanks to filling station adjusted Meter and pump price. Wanted to stunt one time, so I told the attendant "fill up", before I knew what was happening I don see 80ltr at 11,250 shocked and my tank was still asking for more, naso I tell attendant say make he stop for 12k. Come see Okada riders WY dey queue dey hail me

V6 =/ feul consumption...
A lot of factors determines fuel consumption..
Dirty filters, driving style, carrying too much load and sort

Those factors are also common to other vehicles as well...I believe the point is restricted to fuel consumption as it relates to engine, all other things been equal.

If police or road safety stop you for road, just keep moving. Nobody get fuel to chase you go anywhere.

Well, Siena has clarified some points abt weight of car and size of engine, cos I always wonder how my guy petrol take dey finish, I used to think twas his driving style, he uses '06 while I use '03, his engine is bigger n car is heavier.
By d way, No V6 or V8 will use half tank from Asaba to Lagos, I can drag dat one and boast for my car, not even Siena go fit am smiley

Siena:
It's a common misconception that a V6 engine will use more fuel than an I4.

Fuel consumption is determined by:


A Mazda 1.8 comes as a V6 in the '97 gMazda 323F. It WILL use LESS fuel than a 2.2 I4 in the '98 Toyota Camry. Euro 2 Vs Euro 2.
A Porsche 3.0 comes as an I4 in the '91 Porsche 944 S2. It WILL use MORE fuel than a 3.2 V6 FSI in a 2006 Audi A4. Euro 3 Vs Euro 5.
A Jeep 4.0 comes as an I6 in the '99 Wrangler. It WILL use MORE fuel than a 3.7 V8 40V in a 1999 Audi A8 Quattro. Euro 3 Vs Euro 3.

The above are just 3 out of millions of variables. I will cite another example to do with weight.

A '91 E39 BMW 518i (1.8L I4) WILL use MORE fuel than a '91 E39 BMW 520i (2.0 I6). Both Euro 3, but the smaller 1.8 4 cylinder in a relatively heavy car will be working harder, and require MORE fuel as a result. The bigger 2.0 6 cylinder will have an easier time, and require LESS fuel. This is one of the reasons BMW dropped the 1.8 engine for the 1992 model year in the E39. For those who allow their mechanics to yank out their engines in favour of a smaller version, take note!

Transmission type will also determine how much 2 similar engines will use fuel.

Is the same applicable to diesel engine? cause my 1.4 d-4d normally does 245miles (motorway) and 75-90 (in towns) compared to 2gallons which i couldn't do in a 2 , 2.2 or 2-7 ltr diesel engines.

Just my observation....

The point the op is making is that condition of the country is making fuel consumption and efficiency of vehicles a major issue in the choice of cars to buy. Before now, most people buy cars for the fun of it. Only treasury looters can ignore this reality.

Cool..Siena has said it all.

Fuel Efficiency is mainly design and timing related.Your seal and slip rings also play a role in ensuring effective fuel economy.
