Ajakaiye83: check these (1) ask ur mechanic/panel beater to check if the catalyst (AKA indomie) is still there cos it's always a soft target for vandals and will jack up ur fuel consumption like mad. (2) check electrical parts which includes spark plugs, coil (plug coil), nozzles, fuel pump and the injector itself. these are major determinants of fuel consumption in a car. (3) the most unbelievable one to nigerians, check ur car's alignment, all four Tyres. if u get these right, high fuel consumption will be history. 3 Likes |

chuka5000: That No. 1, Nigerians have been peddling this for decades, i don't think you're correct. The work of a catalyst on a vehicle is not to minimize fuel consumption like you guys paint it. Kindly explain to me how the absence of catalyst will "jack up fuel consumption like mad". What does it do on a vehicle? 2 Likes |

valarinz: the primary concern of a catalyst is reducing emission. but do u know that the absence of that catalyst and every other parts in the exhaust system will make way for what is called "free flowing exhaust system" which will in turn allow for more pressure leaving the engine uncontrolled. a car with free flowing exhaust system will have a faster and higher rev cos it's uncontrolled but then it tells directly on ur fuel consumption. hope u know that whenever there's a free air flow either into (injector) or out (exhaust) of a car it affects the rev and consumption. thanks 1 Like |

Ajakaiye83: Your highlander doesn't have an mpg meter, you only assumed with the figures you have. Buy full tank, reset the trip meter and drive vehicle to atleast till you reach half tank. Let's work with the half tank trip to measure your mpg better than 4k fuel theory 1 Like |

valarinz: the catalyst does play a part but under certain conditions eg if its failing to reduce the carbon emissions, it get pick up by the o2 sensor, the values from o2 will trigger a change to air to fuel ratio therefore your MPGs can go high so bank 1 o2 sensor and bank o2 sensor expect a different reading, if gas fumes pass through the catalyst and they should be within specification mapped in the ECU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWIpwNI3cAU&ab_channel=Craig%27sDIYCar http://www.autotap.com/techlibrary/catalytic_converters_and_o2_sensors.asp#:~:text=When%20the%20air%2Ffuel%20mixture,mixture%20has%20to%20go%20lean.&text=When%20the%20O2%20sensor%20reads,the%20fuel%20mixture%20go%20rich. lastly even the type of fuel can drop your MPGs |

Ajakaiye83:Whats your average speed? That will determine if the consumption is okay or not. If you regularly drive along diya street in gbagada and through bariga, your mileage will suck. What is your average speed? How many liters did the 4k fuel get you? Lastly, are your brakes binding? |

Ajakaiye83:Then I don't think there is anything wrong with your vehicle. Check your brakes and make sure they aren't binding. Run a few cans of injector cleaner in your tank (buy from total along diya street). Fill your tank. Take your car on a highway run. Cover 50 miles. Fill up again and check how many liters it took you to cover 50 miles. This is how you can confirm your mpg. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I have done the alignment but the fuel consumes has not changed. I also noticed the RPM keep dropping after 2/3days and have to visit mechanic to raise it. When I move at high speed on a highway, I feel the car hesitate during gear exchange like something is strangling it making it Jack a little. I learnt from the old user that the engine was just replaced 4 months ago. Just worried. |

Ajakaiye83: Ajakaiye83: Let's solve your problem. Your engine is equipped with a 1MZ engine which is comes with variable timing. Currently what you have installed is a 1 or 2mz engine from probably a camry 1998 or a Toyota Kluger without Variable timing. Engine will run, engine will consume fuel . You have been humbled sir. Solution, find an arrogant mechanic. Good luck 1 Like |
