tetralogyfallot: you dont know the size of your engine how you even calculate the mpg of your car when you dont even know the engine size of your car ? 16v simply means 16vavles that has nothing to do with engine size |

tetralogyfallot: Be specific please. the half gallon was how many litres precisely? |
Re: Is Car Fuel Economy Issues An Electrical Or Mechanical Problem by tetralogyfallot(m): 7:32am On Oct 13, 2018 |
uboma:2 litres |
Re: Is Car Fuel Economy Issues An Electrical Or Mechanical Problem by uboma(m): 8:02am On Oct 13, 2018 |
tetralogyfallot: Haba. with the size of your car engine, how do you expect 2ltrs of fuel to cover a distance of 8kms? If you have no money to fill up your tank, please park it at home till your pocket is loaded. It is even wrong to let your car go empty. This affects the fuel pump. |

tetralogyfallot:Look for a technician skilled in diagnosis |

uboma: Lol, calm down, sir. It's a 2. 0L engine. 2L should take him 8km comfortably. 1 Like |

HeavenlyBang: it is supposed to oh but I hope the 8km does not include traffic similar to 3mb own? op the 2L fuel, how did u calculate the distance? and what area was covered? |
Re: Is Car Fuel Economy Issues An Electrical Or Mechanical Problem by HeavenlyBang(m): 10:53am On Oct 13, 2018 |
obekediamondfuto: Ah, yes, traffic is another factor. But in regular driving conditions, it should carry him. |
Re: Is Car Fuel Economy Issues An Electrical Or Mechanical Problem by uboma(m): 11:04am On Oct 13, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang: Traffic and his driving pattern are factors to consider if his car is performing optimally. But again, who buys just 2ltrs fuel into his car? No be motorcycle o! |
Re: Is Car Fuel Economy Issues An Electrical Or Mechanical Problem by tetralogyfallot(m): 11:10am On Oct 13, 2018 |
uboma:Its bought just to take the car to a filling station. |
Re: Is Car Fuel Economy Issues An Electrical Or Mechanical Problem by uboma(m): 11:16am On Oct 13, 2018 |
tetralogyfallot: Noted. Going forward, please always watch out when your fuel gets to the reserve mark. This is when you should be heading to the Petrol station. Except your fuel guage is faulty. 1 Like |
