That your engine sha....



That complicated 2 plugs per cylinder parole that Mercedes-Benz toyed with before they "came back to their senses"

nurusystem:
four cylinder engine safe fuel than six cylinder,those toyota 4 cylinders but v6 engine they have high rate speed than 4 cylinder ,considerin the number of cylinder & speed of the engine ,that is the advantage of 6 cylinder,it speed more than 4 cylinder,bt four consume less in toyota,

no wonder ,sienna has to deactivated his account ,lot of dumbs statement, wetin concern ac with all this na.

Seriously!... Sienna left Nairaland that is bad news ooo

Danfuster:



you want to tell me a 3.0L I4 will consume less fuel than a 2.6L V6 engine. This is how people rob them self of the best things in life cos they live on prejudice. The only reason why people complain about the V6 is cos they are a victim of stop and go traffic.

Itulah:


If I should reply you accordingly, you will definitely hange yourself by morning.

GREATP1:
Please I need the experts in the house to enlighten me on the fuel consumption RATIO of SIX PLUGS engine compare to FOUR PLUGS engine. I want to buy RX 300 and I am a bit concern about the fuel consumption. E.g, if FOUR PLUGS consumption 50 litres of fuel in a journey, how many litres will SIX PLUGS likely consume? Thanks

Danfuster:


you better be careful, this one you're wanting someone to link you up for a buy. Don't be lazy and do a thorough research before dealing or buying a regret.

If you indecisive about what you want or need honest opinions as to what fits you, you should contact the auto gurus in the car section I.e GAZZUZ, SIENA, KINGREIGN

pls.. We hate and are bored with stories that touch on NL.

My car is a 3.5L V6, 6 plugs, and 7-Speed automatic transmission. My fuel tank is 70L (.... I suppose!). I will upload 2 photos;
1. Kaduna to Sokoto (about 460km)
2. NNPC Super Mega (Gwarinpa, FCT) to Jos (about 246km)

NB; I do all my driving with the AC on. And highway speed of not more than 120km/hr, at least for both trips.

islandmoon:
Get a simple C180 , espirit, 1 tank of fuel from Lagos to Kaduna, 65ltrs or a C240

kingreign:


Prove this your comments pls. I need empirical evidence.

stevedre:


Please dont reply accordingly, sometimes the naija mentality gets the best of people most times. Instead of politely asking to be enlightened they rush into robocop mode lolzz. From the moment i saw your first comment i understood you refered to long distance on high speed now my question is, why do people rely on nairaland when google had,has n still have more to offer? Dont let any one pull you below your standard so just ignore any rude comment you receive on this faceless forum. 1 love

Yes toyota,,the diference is just speed ,

Belvinho:


Kindly take a look at your owners manual under fuel economy and you'll see the explanation as regards usage of AC.

In mine, it advices me to roll up my glass at speeds above 60km/h for efficient fuel economy and turn on the AC if need be. While at speeds lower than 60km/h, roll down the glass and turn off the AC.

The reasons for this being;
1. Your engine powers your compressor which in turn puts more load on the engine. To compensate for this load, the engine works more and consumes more fuel doing this. NB at low speed
At high speeds, the extra load from the AC is almost insignificant as the engine is running at optimum performance.

2. Driving at high speed with the windows down will allow wind to move into the car thereby causing drag and reduce the aerodynamics of the car. At such speeds as 130km/h on the highway, the car is supposed to move through air as hot knife through butter.

3. V6 engines are built for speed and as such consume less fuel at high speeds and more at low speed, (note high speed is above 75km) therefore I'd agree that for a journey which an I4 consumes 50 litres, a V6 would consume less if all components were functioning properly.

I drive a 2001 Honda Accord V6

wat brand of car is dis pls?

NemzySeries:

are u kidding me? pls enlighten me more on d C240,fuel consumption, maintenance & durability.......wud u suggest I go 4 it compared to d usual toyota corolla S? even tho av got grt fantasy 4 benz

TRAY2:
Toyota corolla, bank type is the real deal...50 litre tank takes me from the mainland to the Island for one and half weeks, with traffic and AC.

OBAnkemi:


Its a 2007 Mercedes-Benz C350 (note; 203 body)

islandmoon:
Not 100% sure for the C240, but I can bet anything on the C180, I have done it several times, 20liters fuel for 3hours journ on a very bad road, where you brake often, just make sure its the 4plugs , with the black stripe and not the one with the silver stripe, Espirit version! Its carrying the first generation version of the compressor engine, you can take on many cars , I used it for 3 years no single problem

sweet lord.....i av passion 4 benz tho & I'm bin encouraged to go 4 it by nxt yr.....do u fink 1.7m can get me a 2005/2006 C240?

9icetoo:

ur fuel tank has got to be more than 70 litres.
fuel gauges can be misleading as they are not graduated in a completely linear manner with the tank. I have described that here on nairaland before. you should have refilled your tank at the end of those journeys and noted how many litres it took to fill your tank. that way we would have been sure of your fuel consumption.

Cefa is literally hitting 700 now, and dollar is hovering around N420,.......from 2005 to 2007 what is available in the C-Class range is;
1. C230 Kompressor (4 cylinders, 1.8L)
2. C230 sport (6 cylinders, 6 plugs, 2.5L)
3. C240 (6 cylinders, 12 plugs), rear wheel drive, and 4matic
4. C280 (6 cylinders, 6 plugs), rear wheel drive, and 4matic
5. C350 (6 cylinders, 6 plugs) rear wheel drive, 4matic, and sport.

You won't get any of these cars (if it's direct tokunbo) for less than N2.4m at the current exchange rate!

N1.7m may get you a C200 Kompressor (4 cylinders, 4 plugs, 2003/2004 model, but with the engine of a year 2000 C230 Kompressor).
