Expert in the house I spent between ₦15-₦20k on fuel weekly without using the AC.. Since the removal of subsidy I hardly fill up my tank due to high cost of fuel. The type of car is 4 plug corolla, hatch back. It is generally believed that such car don't consume much fuel. But yesterday I bought fuel of 9k at ₦640 and ₦600. I first bought ₦4k at ₦640 before I bought ₦5k at ₦600(Bovas). While coming home this evening I noticed that the warning sign is showing on the dashboard.

Any tips to know if my car is consuming fuel abnormally ?

Sell your car to save cost.

Next time once it shows warning take the odometer, toup fuel of any and write it down as well, then allow it to get to warning sign and take the odometer again and send to me and i will work it out and get back to you.

How many kilometers you travel?
Why did you mention bovas?
What is the name of the other station you patronized?

Stop buying fuel by price, buy by litres.

Stop making it easy for fuel attendants to cheat you.

Buy full tank, reset ur trip meter, use the fuel to low fuel sign comes up on your dashboard, then you'll have your anwser

How is buy by price cheating oneself?

How is buy by price cheating oneself?

E.g if 10litres is N500.01

If you buy using litres, you will pay N500

But if you buy using price, the attendance can stop the pump at N499.99 or less which is a bit less than 10 litres

Now, imagine using such trick on 100 customers per day, let's say 0.1litres X 100 = 10litres. That's the gain of the fuel attendant each day outside his salary

I usually buy by amount not the fuel price, so I get my money's worth.

I travelled 11km 4 times in a day. I mentioned Bovas because of the price difference and also because I presumed their liter should be accurate.

Whois:
Buy full tank, reset ur trip meter, use the fuel to low fuel sign comes up on your dashboard, then you'll have your anwser

Can you please teach me how to do this ? Which of these should I choose?

That's like saying you travelled 44km with 14.5 litres of fuel or (14.5 minus your tank reserve) litres of the car was empty before.

The button you are looking for should be on the dashboard somewhere besides the odometer.

I know it's hard right now to full a tank.

But just Buy 20L in a gallon. Ensure it's a complete 20L that is inside.

Drive Ur car until the yellow 🟡 come on.

That moment pour in the 20L. The yellow 🟡 will disappear. Snap Ur odo or trip meter then Drive the car until the yellow 🟡 show up again. Then calculate the km or miles. 20L is 5 gallons. You can do it with 10L 2.5 gallon.
