Get the total distance covered after the full tank is finished.

Also check if it is calibrated in miles or km
We will do the maths for you

He didn't use the full tank.. Look at the 2nd picture again


Even 40 miles isn't supposed to move his fuel guage from the full position, much less 9.6 miles..

Op has a bad fuel leak

how did you measure the full tank? did you filled to the brim? Or the guage. You have only covered 9 miles. It depends too on location like hold up. Go and fill the tank and check how many litre will complete it.

10 miles should be around 2 litres. But it looks like it has used almost 8 litres from that guage.

Go scan the car first
Re: Please Help Is Fuel Consumption Ok ? by oladele239(m): 12:30pm On Jan 03
Car has been finally scanned today
Attached is the code

Could be or may not be
Try replacing with original toks.

Check the wire for damages too

I had this code on my car sometime ago and was resolved by cleaning the fuel tank

Re: Please Help Is Fuel Consumption Ok ? by oladele239(m): 8:18pm On Jan 04
Had the 02 sensor changed today
Another issue I'm having now is car jerks while I'm driving
I had the TP sensor changed at a point when I noticed same thing earlier on.

Since the TP sensor was changed the jerking has steadily increased. Please what could be the issue and is it possible it was well set or calibrated.

Or I need to look out for another issue
I'm really stressed 😫

He has repaired too many things.

The scan results should limit your repairs.
Don't rush. Take it one at a time

Exactly what I have in mind!

He should clear the whole code and drive for a while, then he scan.

If you have scanned and the only code is p0420 just manage it that way.

Can you give us the total miles covered with full tank?

Op don enter one chance.. im don use im money buy Generational problem

This baskad fuel consumption na why the previous owner rush sell the moto

Anyone telling op to scan vehicle isn't helping him.. No manner of 02 or MAF sensor fault will drain a full tank like that in 9 miles... There is a massive fuel leak somewhere.

Read what he wrote, he said he filled the car up then reset the meter.

Slight improvement noticed with my mpg after replacement of 02 sensor.
Jerking has also stopped after it was discovered that my sump got pulled in and was beaten out.

Gear switch changed erased d light blink.

Car is on test drive for now 😔

I know if I return my fan to factory setting I should be getting a greater mpg.
My fear is my engine.
It's old already with a very high mileage.

Suggestions are welcomed

You have done well by paying attention to the car.
Don't return fan to factory for now to avoid overheating. Monitor the car and get used to it before doing the factory thing
