Its very bad o

My v6 accord does 20mpg city with AC on all through.. .

Dozieson:


City driving?

He said the car does 310miles on full tank of 50liters .That is about 9.6km/l. To me it is not that bad for city driving

buygala:

An accord v6 does 8km per litre city with AC on... While travelling, I average 10km per litre with AC also on

A Corolla is supposed to be doing 12 or 13km per litre city

It's supposed to be the king of fuel economy yeah?... Or isn't that why it's so expensive?

Dozieson:


Is it supposed to be 12 or 13km/l for city driving?

Is the fan connected directly to the battery?

Is the thermostat still there?

Oga calm down, which city you dey and which city op dey?
City driving differs o.
I'm sure you can't get that 20mpg on your accord in Lagos

valarinz:



If you're based in Lagos and this claim of 20mpg city driving on your V6 is while driving in Lagos, then I'll have to state in plain terms : I think you're lying or I don't believe it, whichever phrase serves better

I'm certain the guy complaining about his Corolla is a Lagos driver

buygala:


Calm down..
No I am not in Lagos... But traffic situations exist everywhere, including where I reside.. Dont make it seem like Lagos traffic is the worst of all... There are places in that same Lagos where there is practically zero or very little traffic... I was born and bred in Lagos so don't tell me about Lagos as if it's in Mars

Moreover, there is nowhere op stated that he has been driving in traffic... heck, he never even stated he is in Lagos.. So I see no reason why you should help op make excuses for his car's messed up fuel economy..Abi na u been help am drive am inside Lagos traffic?

Presently, the toks of op's car is far more expensive than the toks of my 2010 v6 Honda Accord.. And one of the reasons it is so expensive is because of its much taunted alleged fuel economy...because my own vehicle far beats that Corolla in every imaginable department.. now even the fuel economy wey una talk say e get na nonsense

I still experience serious traffic in my location and I still get at least 5 miles per litre of fuel.... and even better on the highway.. . Fact..

Stop making excuses for the inordinately expensive Corolla... No be only Una dey drive inside traffic abeg

Besides I don't even know how traffic came to be an issue here as Op never mentioned any traffic situation in his original post..

And before Op edits his original post that warranted my earlier response, find below a screenshot of his original post

olumzzz:

Let's deal with facts.
Dealing with facts involves understanding the context of OP's scenario.
Which city he drives and the traffic situation of that city would better define that scenario before arriving at a decision.
Then you can say if 17.4mpg is relatively good or not.

buygala:


So you know that facts exist before you started talking rubbish assuming for the op that he drives in Lagos Traffic?

Don't make me say something bad to you this morning please

olumzzz:

You really have a problem.
Maybe you no see person buy your gala.
Where did you see me assume the op drives in Lagos?

buygala:


The Lagos you brought in via your 1st comment, where did you get it from?

Did op complain to you that he had been driving in bad traffic or what was in his original comment to make you assume his driving had anything to do with Lagos?

olumzzz:

Read again.
The Lagos reference in earlier comment was to your 20mpg for YOUR own car.
This is my last response to you.
Stick to charge n bail pls.

buygala:


I already responded to your comrade just above this post ... Read and be enlightened

Oga, please go and sit down somewhere..

Instead of you guys to help op by telling him that the quality of fuel these days is really bad leading to poor mpg generally and that he should try changing the fuel station he fuels from for a start, or that he should get his vehicle checked by a competent mechanic, you are here making excuses that the op never made

valarinz:


Ok, you don't reside or drive in Lagos, case closed.

Take note, as far as naija is concerned, Lagos traffic is the worst, your 20mpg will drastically drop if you use that car here extensively for a month

Also, if there's something about my initial response to you that's triggering the aggressiveness, pls kindly forgive, I'm interested in having a civil discourse on this

Don't quit. Vawulence is needed.
That said, no way in hell that Honda will achieve 20mpg in lagos traffic driving from mainland to island or vice versa during rush hour traffic. VCM ko VVT ni.
