Drinking?
Your car must be a drunkard.

1. Accelerating too quickly only to break suddenly increases fuel use.

Saao:
then I think I'm guilty of it but total of 14k fuel less than one week isn't too much?

aieromon:


Depends

Remember it is a 6 cylinder engine

Were you stuck in traffic for most of the time?

Was the Car AC running?

Is your Check Engine light on?

Run a scan

Saao:
AC was running although. The check engine was on, what's the meaning of that?

When keke driver buy V6, na the shock him go get be this?


That said, what is the distance you covered, your driving habit?


Finally, change plugs, service nozzles, and if possible, scan the 2.7LV6.

Hello guru in the house
Please I need ur help. Bought Hyundai Santafe 2008 recently, bought fuel of 11,000 on Tuesday and bought 3000 yesterday but today the fuel all gone although I did alot of movement within Lagos. But my concern is the level of fuel I spent within the short time, what can I do to minimize it?

Thank you for your contribution

Like you converted your injections system to a carburettor on the Nissan Xterra that year

200 miles with 48litres fuel is it OK for a VW golf 4 2.0L 4 cylinder

Disaster. Your car is using 15L/100km instead of 8.8L/100km for automatic transmission or 6.2L/100km for the manual transmission. Wehdone.

to start with , do u use engine temostate or fan running continually ?
Do u use recommended engine oil and plug ?
Do you use recommended tire pressure?
What's your driving habit?

drmuchin:


Fans are connected directly
I use synthetic 5w30
Tire pressure is adequate
Driving habit:gentle acceleration, minimal braking

timenamoney:
u did not mention the temostate question ,

a car despite the climate should use a themostate , it helps the engine reach it operating temperature , before the engine reach it operating temperature 100degre ( the middle line in the temperature gauge at the dashboard , but some mistake it as overheating ) , the ECU (car computer or brainbox ) run the injectors in open loops fuel operation (more fuel ), when the ECU get signal from coolant temperature sensor that the engine have reached it optimal operating temperature 100degre (the fan blow to cool down things) , then will the o2 sensor in exust pip ( like a plug with wires ) before the carterlyst , helps to calculate already burnt air and fuel ratio in exust , to minimize fuel if much or minimize air if much , the injectors then switch to close loop fuel operation (less fuel) for better fuel economy

when you don't use a themostate and run your fan continually ( it affects fan and battery lifetime , may not last up to 5year ) , your car may not reach it recommended operating temperature 100 degree , and will run in open loops all the time , which effect fuel economy , will flood your celinders during combustion , affects your carterlyst converter , and contaminate engine oil badly and engine oil will not reach it operating temperature to evaporate moisture (water , celinders blow-by fuel contents e.t.c which lead to engine damage sooner

you may wish not to use a themostate but never bycort the fan to run continually , it should blow at 100degree , so that the car can reach it's optimal operating temperature on the long run , that how a car is produce to operate

Run car obd scan and report back

Check your miles per gallon ( MPG=4litre ) , when the low fuel light comes on, park while having 4litre already in trunk ,put fuel in tank reset trip a or b in odometer run till till low fuel come on again , to know your MPG , in multiple run rounds to get a proper result to compare when you put back temostate and set fans to factory settings

engine was bought direct Belgium very neat
I believe the thermostat should be intact, any I suspect oxygen sensor wire was cut because we did a conversion from VW Jetta 2.8L EFI VR6 2002 model to VW Golf 4 2.0L i4
