My neighbour said his baby boy can use fuel of 1500 to ikeja and back to lekki wit AC,and i told him dat mine uses 2500 fuel to ikeja and back to lekki wit AC. He shouted and said ''oh boy u are wasting money on fuel and u don't know'' Pls Gazzuzz and the rest shuld help me. |

The catalyst must have been removed. It happened to my brothers Honda Pilot and he didn't know until I drove the car and noticed, I told him and he bought a new one 70k, now he enjoys the car. It must have been stolen before you bought the car. |

Gbengageorge:Yes i know. My panel beater said d catalyst has been removed. But could that be the cause? I just don't want to waste money in dis recession fixing wat is not the problem. And i also noticed the car doesn't consume much fuel wen d whether is very hot. But consumes more at nite wen d sun has gone down. |

I use that same car, 2001, but a v6. Personally I think your friend's car is still consuming a bit too much. I buy 4,000 fuel and drive mile 2 to lekki and back, 3 times, with AC. One of the most basic things you need to do is make sure you change your spark plugs to a better grade and stop running your car fan direct |
Re: Why Does My Honda Accord Consume More Fuel Than It's Counterparts by Emekayoung(m): 7:21pm On Dec 01, 2016 |
emy77:I think u are right. But there is no thermostat and there is no catalyst as well. |
Re: Why Does My Honda Accord Consume More Fuel Than It's Counterparts by honmusa(m): 7:30pm On Dec 01, 2016 |
Emekayoung:Yes o I wan yab you as you are implying that the issue shouldn't be since it has been there since you buy it. |
Re: Why Does My Honda Accord Consume More Fuel Than It's Counterparts by honmusa(m): 7:33pm On Dec 01, 2016 |
Emekayoung:Removal of thermostat and running of gan direct is well enough for your car to drink fuel like fish .Don't waste money on catalyst as the fuel saving you will get is not as significant as overcooling your car engine . 1 Like |

Emekayoung: if u reinstall the thermostat today and revert your fan to factory setting, your mpg might be better than your neighbor's. |

honmusa:Na wa oo. I am afraid of that thermostat stuff since the day it made my car to overheat seriously... Everybody concluded on changing d gasket until angel Gabriel came down from heaven and told me never to change gasket but to remove the thermostat and since den there has not been any over heating issue or wat so ever. |

GAZZUZZ: Or maybe his driving style. OP, do you do jack rabbit starts? I can get 35mpg in my Cooper S and I can also get 18mpg in the same car when I drive in a hurry. |

Gbengageorge: Catalyst converter does not affect gas mileage negatively. |
Re: Why Does My Honda Accord Consume More Fuel Than It's Counterparts by Nobody: 7:05pm On Jan 10, 2017 |
Emekayoung: We have a winner |
Re: Why Does My Honda Accord Consume More Fuel Than It's Counterparts by Nobody: 2:44pm On Jan 12, 2017 |
Emekayoung: Thermostats don't cause overheating, and its removal alone is enough to cause u negative fuel consumption. It is better u find out the reason ur car overheats while the thermostat is there, fix it and let ur fans be on factory specs, u are going to enjoy ur car that way and ur engine will last. |
Re: Why Does My Honda Accord Consume More Fuel Than It's Counterparts by Emekayoung(m): 8:08am On Jan 16, 2017 |
greenhulk:I will start wit re-installation of the thermostat and den the catalyst as well. I will get there. Thanks man. |
