Car Talk / Re: My Corolla With Venza Engine Gulping Up Fuel Like Water (details Inside) by lonelydora: 8:51am On Sep 20
BlindAngel:
Good morning Nairalands

After my never ending fuel gulping battle with my Toyota Camry, I later ended up buying a 2012 Toyota Corolla.

I went with my mechanic to a car stand to get it, when we got there we saw different kinds/types of corolla. My mechanic told me some are 1.8l engine while others are 2.0l and a lot of the corolla uses venza engine.

I wanted to buy any of the corolla of 1.8L engine but my mechanic told me that they're old model, that I should get a recent corolla with Venza engine, but I refused when I heard the word "venza engine"

I told my mechanic that over my dead body will I jump from frying pan to fire, from Camry to Venza. I said so because since the corolla is using Venza engine, it'd surely gulp up fuel like Venza, which would be a lot worst than a camry.

But my mechanic assured me that what I said is very false, that it won't. That a corolla is a corolla and corollas doesn't eat fuel.

His words really calmed me down and I bought the 2012 corolla.

So I bought 8k fuel to test the fuel usage and see how long it'd last, I know I should have bought more, but I needed to get a faster result.

Well, it turns out that my mechanic tricked me and I'm in so much pains right now, my 8k fuel only went for 31km before the fuel got exhausted, I later realized that I was very much right and shouldn't have listened to my mechanic that a corolla is a corolla, venza engine or small 1.8L engine.

From my observation, it seems the 2012 corolla is gulping up fuel like a venza. Yesterday, I took it to a mechanic and asked them to fix anything that'd make the car to gulp up fuel, they changed the plugs, cleaned the filter, I will be testing it today with another 8k fuel, I pray and I hope that it won't be as bad as it was yesterday, because I'm so depressed right now, after what my camry did to me which made me went for a corolla, now I'm having same issue with my corolla. I'm really so down right now.

Both you and your mechanic lack basic of car engines. No Corolla uses a Venza engine (whatever that means)

UK is one place I won't like to live, even if they dash me visa with housing and job.

They complain about almost everything.

I pity men that go to UK without any second plan.

See, any day my wife calls police on me, no matter the issue, I will marry second wife that day.

Celebrities / Re: Patoranking’s Sister & Husband Killed By Gas Explosion Caused By Thunder by lonelydora: 8:11pm On Sep 12
NwaAmaikpe:
shocked



Village people were probably upset with their house warming so they sent thunder.
But since I was born, till now I have gotten young, I have never heard that thunder kills. Well, lightning does.

And I only know of two instances where people got struck by it.

The first was a couple who were electrocuted to death by lightning while making love on a metal bed in a house with faulty earth insulations.

The second instance was a lady who was struck by lightning while making up by the window during a rainstorm. The cadmium and lead in her brown powder conducted electricity from the lightning and left her with third degree burns.

She was lucky to survive, but suffers from Alopecia and can not grow any hair in her armpits or pubic region till this day because of it.

We must learn to take care of our lives and not take lots of things for granted so we don't end up blaming village people for everything.

Use qualified professionals when building your house.

It is penny-wise, pound-foolish to use Kazeem the auto electrician to wire your house because his price is cheaper.
Because Kazeem the auto electrician will still fight for extra plates of food during the funeral that his quack wiring caused.

Where have you been, young man?

Na wa o.

There's nothing spiritual about this. The gas was probably leaking and already filled the place.

The lightning (not thunder) just ignited the already saturated vicinity. If you know about FIRE TRIANGLE, you will understand this


African attribute spirituality to whatever they do not understand.

Good! Tacoma is stronger than Hilux. It's a good buy. With the exchange rate doing anyhow, I can't really tell. You can Google it sha.

Pls advise.
For work and going about daily activities. Is the car recommended. I heard it’s 40mil. Is that true

Oh, that's a Hilux. I initially thought it's a Tacoma.

Why not go for Tacoma? Tacoma is nicer and more rugged than Hilux.
