You are absolutely correct, not just you.

Sometimes, I have this thought that someone steals the fuel in the generator at night

Every driver I have met or know is complaining the same thing.
The problem with Nigeria is docility.
We just take everything the government and wicked people dish out to us and "leave it for God". The importers of this useless fuel know about it's quality as well as the Nigerian users.

We are paying more for rubbish

somehow:


Max of 8 liters on a 2 hours drive.

Did you calculate the kilometres you drove?

A liter should give you 12.5km, so do the math.
A liter can as well give you 3km depending on the type of road

Stop calculating by km, u think say Nigeria na London city drive

It's same thing ooo. It doesn't burn faster. It's just your mind playing tricks on you. I have always bought 40 litres every Sunday. I still buy same 40 litres.

Most times its the rubbish they sell in all these fuel stations.

I met a man that came to fix his range rover where I fix my car. His problem was that he filled his tank of 100 litres with fuel but when the mechanic emptied the contents of the tank, we all saw more than 25 litres of water. The dude almost went berserk.

These fuel people now dilute their fuel with water.
No one dilutes their fuel with water. Those that sell such fuel have a leakage in their underground tanks. I mean Nigerians are wicked, but not that wicked🙄

But the fuel right now is up to something. Only God knows what they mix it with.

They mix it with ethanol. Ethanol mix perfectly with petrol. Depending on the cost of a litre of ethanol when compared to petrol, it might be economical to mix ethanol with petrol.

For your information ethanol burns faster than petrol.

You see a lot of cheap low octane adulterated fuel enter this country. Most are biofuels containing ethanol.
They evaporate, burn faster, and eventually kill your engine
