Does My Car Have A Drinking Problem? by Justjyde(m): 8:43am On May 25, 2016
I filled my (4 cylinder, 1989 mazda 626) car with NGN 7K fuel last Tuesday. I normally commute 60Km daily to my office (to and fro) for 5 days of the week (no weekend driving). Now, I have just bought another NGN 7K. This is huge on my pocket. Please car experts help! Does my car have a drinking problem? If so, what are my options?

The option is to park the car at home and use public transport, that is what i have been doing since fuel became N145 per litre

Drinking problem kwa lol

U have to evaluate ur fuel consumption properly b4 u can b advised BTW wats ur engine size

How many liters does it consume on hw many km

7k fuel is 48l @ 145 by d way n d least it can give on an average 2.0l 4cylinder car of over 25yrs like urs shld b up to 250km or thereabt on freeway given the abuses it must have suffered with d mechanic over d years cool

60km x 5 = 300km, 48l gives u 300km frm wat I can deduce frm ur post n dts nt as bad as u r saying it assuming ur engine is 2.0l.

Buhari change jst hit ur pocket angry

Try to dey free the car sometimes. Driving style must change with the change in town.

On a serious note, do you see any smoke from the exhaust pipe? If your car drinks heavily, I can bet it smokes.

I actually finally found out what was wrong with my vehicle. The rear drum breaks were binding. Before I lost the vehicle, fuel consumption came down to about 4K weekly for same driving routine.

Fortunately, I survived the car wreck I had a few weeks (less than 4weeks) after it was fixed! Now, I know a little more about that drinking problem grin grin RIP Little Blue! cry

Now I am in the market for something more exciting but without a drinking problem!! cool tongue

The CHANGE is real!! grin cheesy
