And you felt it wasn't built to consume fuel?

When will some Nigerians really learn about the cars they own or drive? So, in your warped village thinking you think every car with the Mercedes Benz logo must be a fuel guzzler? For your information, that W203 C230 he drives, when functioning optimally, consumes just a little above 8 liters for every 100km of combined city and highway driving. Quit this village mentality that every Benz, regardless of the engine under it's hood, consumes more fuel than Japanese plastics.

Is this something that can be fixed?
Do you have any idea it's cost?

Sure. Go to google or ebay. Type the model of your car and year then type 02 sensors.or go to aliexpress andrype the aforementioned. It will bringout a list. Also does your car have catalyst or not. If it does t have catalyst. U will buy fuel like a drunk. If also the 02 sensors are bad. Infact your car will be consuming fuel like mad. Lastly check your spark plugs and maf airflow sensor. To know a good spark plugs that fires. The middle or point of contact will be brown or dirty brown...while pure black means its bad and not firing. When you go to mechanic,tell the mechanic to loose all the plugs and inspect inside the middle.if the middle is black..its dead. If its brown its working. Dont buy tokunbo plugs because all tokunbo plugs are nigerian used .buy brand new platinum plugs.1 is like 1k per 1.

Thanks man. One of my guys told me that I've bleeped up big time, that was after hearing that I bought a v6 benz. Your comment here is quite comforting to me. I've read about those things you mentioned. Also, I have a `check engine` light on my dashboard. This points to one of those things you mentioned. Thanks again man. If you have any more Information you think I should know, please let me know.
