My car Fuel Consumption Is High. by jarkbauer: 9:30am On Jan 19, 2017 |
I recently bought a tokunbo 2009 Rav4. I have observed the fuel consumption to be on the very high side. For example it requires 20litres of fuel to Lagos Island from Magodo and come back without air conditioning. Its an I4 engine no check engine light is on I scanned it but didn't throw any codes Pls is 20ltres of fuel for such distance not too much? Please what can I do. |

GAZZUZZ: Moderate traffic My calculations is this 20 litres = 5.28 gallon. 40 miles /5.28 = 7.6 mpg Isn't that low? |
Re: My car Fuel Consumption Is High. by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:09pm On Jan 19, 2017 |
jarkbauer: Very low. You should do a proper tune up. |

GAZZUZZ: Tune up what's that? |

Since you have a check light on, you seriously needed to scan that car ,you said you scan it you didn't get any fault please take it a qualified technician . |

stephcruse: Theres is no check engine light on. |
Re: My car Fuel Consumption Is High. by kingreign(m): 4:52pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
stephcruse:You need not rely on presence of CEL before scanning and pin pointing at the faults. A live data scan is more than important here |

Sorry, you still need a qualified technician to inspect that car I mean a proper diagnosis. |

Do you have average fuel economy on your dash board or recalculate by reseting your trip meter when fuel gage reaches middle and adding20 litres and see how far you go before needle reahes half again |

20 liters from Magodo to island to and fro without AC is over high. I use 15 liters frm ikorodu to lekki to and fro with traffic and am still complaining. Am currently working on mine and I will get back to you if fine. |

jarkbauer: If the consumption from the moment you bought it was this high, it could be safe to assume that's why the previous owner sold it. It needs an operating table to diagnose the culprits....... |

Lexusgs430: i had it scanned no codes came up |
Re: My car Fuel Consumption Is High. by kingreign(m): 7:39am On Jan 22, 2017 |
jarkbauer: kingreign: I've made this suggestion before. In addition to this, check your tyre pressure on all 4, and also check your brake if they're binding. |
