How Do Taxi People Making a living With 760 a litre? Because I don’t understand by fineboynl(m): 12:41pm On Sep 11, 2023
In my town you will see those old taxi that have lost oxygen sensor and catalyst. The state of the car you will know many things have lost functioning but yet places they will charge 2.5k to 3k to go. If you go there and come back the fuel you will burn will be more than 2.5k. I need to know because i’m tired.

Outside of the fact that personal car is beneficial for short city trips, like stop here and there not more than 3-5km each trip. Its bad for city journey more than 20km - 30km.

I bought fuel 5k yesterday (fake 8 liters but 6.4l )When one of my babe came. We did small city trip here and there. But when it was time for her to go I was refusing to go drop her. Stating that she live off town that’s way opposite my direction. And if you factor in to go and come back at that very point its about 12-14 miles. you know The fuel i will burn will be more than 3k. Here it is 3l is 3.75l that’s N3050. from my calculations i have already burns 2k from the 5k my car was showing yellow light when i top that 5k 6.4L.

I stop a taxi but they charged 3k. I know they would have go as least 2.5k if i price and beg. I decided to look for keke but it was too late, keke stop work by 7 and bus by 9pm.

I know it would cost my close to 1 gallon to go round trip. I had no option to go drop her and and went home. The fuel gauge was in empty but it hasn’t show yellow light. But I know if I drive it out now it will show yellow.

I want to ask this the simple question how do taxi is making a living from this also considering repairs of their cars?

Go to market:,get all those jeep/papers old model iron fuel keg. Have it at your boot as your reserve fuel. Fill it half way. Any where your car dies. Top up the fuel from thr. Also stop using AC. Check your spark plugs .Auto manual
