My point.

Buy a bicycle and manoeuvre with it within your city

Not always car

GAZZUZZ:


Let's split the matter into parts so we don't loose focus.


A. Engine Electronics

* Buy a personal scan tool.

Buy a portable scanner so check for errors when they appear, if you don't know what the codes mean, enter into cartalk, post the codes and we will guide accordingly.

Some vehicles have had their warning lights removed by technicians and card dealers, this is the time to restore and scan.

* Scan code results.

Scan code results that have to do with the following will seriously affect your vehicle fuel efficiency by as much as 40-50percent.

Engine running rich or lean codes
02 sensor codes
P0128 coolant threshold
All timing related codes
Evaporative emission codes
Catalytic converter codes
Engine misfires
MAF codes
Exhaust gas recirculation codes
Variable timing codes
VTech codes
Boost pressure codes

There are more, but these are the common ones. Have them solved properly (not by clearing code) and you will save a lot on petrol.


B. Suspension

* Tyre pressures : keep tyre pressures at recommended levels (check drivers door or fuel tank cover) vehicles with low tyre pressures, consume more fuel than vehicles with the right tyre pressures.

* Wheel alignment, Ensure your alignment is on point, when you have front wheels fighting with them selves and asphalt, it causes unwanted drag, which results in more fuel consumption.

* Keep windows up when on long trips , this will reduce the amount of wind resistance the car makes, less drag more savings on fuel.

* Aerodynamics, the abuse of vehicle suspension in the name of raising vehicle height usually has consequences when done poorly, when you have the head up and tail down, you are fighting to get through the air, and constantly loosing efficiency to wind resistance. Same thing happens when you load 4 adults at the back and fill the trunk with load

* Sticky brakes . brake binding is a situation where the vehicle is being held down by the brake pads without application of the brake pedal. Could be caused by work done on the brake switch near brake pedal, rusted calliper pins rusted calliper prisons, faulty abs pump. Whatever the case, if you get home, splash some water on each wheel, if you have instant steam from any wheel it is binding and should be checked .

C. Service and Maintenance


* Filters sparkplugs and MAF.

Some cars never get a replacement engine air filter all their days in Nigeria , replace your engine air filter with each oil change , clean and re gap your sparkplugs to the required spark gap.

Carefuly clean MAF sensor with the required MAF cleaner, please do not do MAF cleaning unless you are sure it is required, it is not an item to clean regularly.

* Fuel Pressure

We don't have very clean petrol, so if your car begins to feel lazy especially after a long trip, might be time to check the fuel filter and strainer inside the fuel tank , if clogged replace, you will get better miles per gallon. In most vehicles, low fuel pressure will not show up as an error when scanned.

* Blocked Exhaust system.

The inability of exist gasses to quickly leave the engine into the atmosphere, will cost you more on petrol.

Some vehicles are naturally predisposed to catalyst blockage e.g Honda , Acura , Ford , Kia , Hyundai. If your vehicle is one of those you might want to get it checked out, also if your catalyst has been stolen in the past and was refilled will wire mesh or a catalyst clone which also gets blocked easily you should have it checked.

Know your vehicle, if a vehicle starts dragging, something is off and should be checked . Blockages in exhaust in exhaust systems will not show up on scan results for most vehicles, it takes a smart tech/owner to detect it in early stages.

Bad Driving habits.


* Vehicle idling
Starting the car and leaving it to idle for 10-15 mins before leaving the house.... It's gone! Start the car, put it in drive and drive , don't waste 10-15mins of fuel.

Please tell us one highway in Anambra where one can drive for at least 30 minutes without encountering any of the above mentioned..

Oga go sit down, try apply wisdom when needed, we still dey talk on how to run your vehicle efficiently.
If you like you can use cruise control inside holdup or check point, it's your choice.
600 per liter go teach you how to economize.

TheOldGods:
You must really be a bad mechanic. So because of 600 naira fuel, I should start my car immediately and start driving at full speed without allowing my engine to warm up about, or even telling your clients to drive slow if they happen not to warm up. I pity those who listens to your advice. You're among those bad mechanic that fixed one and destroys 4

buygala:


Calm down.. Don't put words in op's mouth..

He is totally right on the point that you should drive your car immediately you start it.... . I don't know where you got the part about driving it at full speed immediately after that.

As e be say you be cow wey no get brain, you fit even redline kickdown your car while driving out of your house.

If after highlighting this part of my earlier post, you still don't get the point, I leave you with God.

Cruise Control on Naija Pothole infested road

Doing 70km/hr on a highway is as bad, if not worse than overspeeding.. In some countries, it's an offence to drive so slow on a highway.

Op has hit the salient points...

Secondary points are that Naija petrol burns very fast, compared to that of some other countries.... So no go get high BP trying to get factory mpg on Naija fuel.. Then mix into the mayhem stations that sell fuel mixed with kerosene or even water , or those who outrightly adjust their pump to cheat....

Leaky injectors and faulty fuel lines can also negatively impact fuel consumption...

Lastly, it can be quite an expensive habit if one gets too obsessed with maintaining vehicle fuel economy.... Money wey u no wan spend for fuel na im u go carry dash Mecho and parts seller.. Mechanics don't work for free.. Parts aren't free either...Checking a little this and rechecking a minor that can pile up a quite hefty repair bill, if one isn't careful.. Besides, there is also the risk that while trying to fix something minor, something major might get damaged.. Dat one na the handiwork of most naija mechos.. Repair one, spoil four... Next thing you go hear na "Oga na so you bring the moto come here"... God no go gree make mecho wey dey try trace 02 sensor wiring go trace and join the one wey go fry ECU ... Then you will wish you had instead, simply bought fuel and kept moving... Which is exactly what you should have done in the first place.

E get some minor tins wey e go better make you just dey drive the moto dey go laidat.. If you no wan dey buy fuel, buy bicycle, ladies motorcycle, or trek
