My Car Has Very Poor Fuel Economy! Pls Help!!! by leksonltd: 10:00am On Jan 30, 2016
I use a Toyota corolla 2001/ 2002 model. The normal fuel consumption is 35MPG on highway, and 30MPG within city. Unfortunately, mine consumes 2.5 gallons(10litres) to cover 32 miles. The car works normal, catalyst is ok, airflow meter works, no leaks on exhaust. Pls help make meaningful suggestions.Thanks

. . . city driving different from city driving. Lagos 'stop-and-go' traffic does not qualify for city driving, don't expect a better mileage driving in such situation. Take your car for a spin on the highway and you'll be surprised.

What type of engine oil do you use? 20W50 or 5w30?

The corolla is 26mpg city and 35mpg highway. For lagos standstill traffic and with AC u should still b able to do 20mpg city Moreover, do you use the required 5w30 graded oil?. Scan the car bruv!
