you no go mind your business, propagate your own business. Dey dia dey find international traffic. Nonsense

rationalmind:


I thought as much. Now you no longer want to discuss averages, after you initially claimed the average was just for 10 minutes .

I don't know how many times it has to be drummed into your head that the 18mpg was based on 60-80km/hr. How is that considered city driving?

And lastly, I'm not insulting you by calling you foolish. I know it rings a bell, I can't be the first person to have told you.

Reading and comprehension is clearly a weakness for you.

Can someone else please help him explain what this means?
"After school hours I could do 60 to 80 for 10mins of the 35mins trip, then the remainder 25mins is a bumpy ride all through."

The man made it clear that this speed of between 60 - 80 is only valid for 10 mins out of the entire 35 minutes of his trip.
How you are still trying to prop your glaring failure is beyond me and outright sad.

rationalmind:


If I say you're foolish, I'm not being harsh and I don't mean it as an insult. You are actually foolish. Do you even know what average means? How can average be just 10 minutes of his journey?

There's a reason I asked for his average speed. If 60-80 was his speed for just 10 minutes of his journey, then it means he didn't understand my question and whatever I arrive at was based on what he supplied.

AHA!! we are getting somewhere now.
So it's Garbage in Garbage out! Right.
That's pretty clear now.

Okay. it is clear that there is no reasoning with you. You have been called out at baseless estimations and you sit(or stand) there trying to defend/justify yourself. Worse still, hurling insults over the internet. That is pretty low my good man. pretty low.
and Yet! I am the foolish one.

Listen son. your calculation is bogus, unsubstantiated and meaningless. It is as simple as that. On top of all that, your conclusion is false. I will happily stick my neck out to argue that 18mpg on that car for city driving is decent.

Let us move on and stop arguing about averages and estimates that interests no one but feeds your misplaced ego. which in the end makes you look pretty much like what you are calling me.

i'm 6'3" and sometimes i wish i was even taller

rationalmind:


Hope you can see how foolish you are.

My estimate was based on his response to my question.

haba oga.. no need for harsh words.

Just admit your wild estimate is nothing but that. wild.
With poor basis of assumptions.
I dared you and you carelessly posted your primary school calculation, Mr Physics Guru.

You conveniently ignored the mention that the average speed he gave you is only for 10 minutes of his Journey (on a good day). Not to mention what it is at rush hour. "some days I make this trips thrice in a day and some days once and sometimes twice". This information you happily ignored as well.

Quit trying to come across as intelligent and wait for more information from the man in question. Then and only then can we give him informed responses and a rational course of action.

In actual fact, 18mpg for what he described is fairly decent for an SUV doing city runs. Contrary to the conclusion of your bogus calculation.

rationalmind:


Any school is fine. Even if it's public
We know he drives at an average speed of 60-80km/hr. We also know he drives 35 minutes. If I take 60km/hr as his speed. Note that I can as well use 70 or 80 and it won't really alter my results. M
Using S=D/T, i.e 60=d/0.58. His distance is 35km. This means he covers 70km daily and 1400km monthly. Since it's a school, it is assumed he journeys only on Mondays to Fridays.
So he uses at least N50,000 worth of fuel monthly which gives me 344 litres.
This makes his monthly usage 9mpg.
But then, he told us he sometimes makes the trip twice or thrice every day.
So if he goes just once every day in a month, his mpg is 9, if he does it twice every day in a month, his mpg is 18 and if he does it three times everyday in a month, I have 28.

The average of all the mpgs is 18.33.

Again, like mentioned, it's only an estimate. I will allow for a margin of error between +/-1 or 2. Nothing more and nothing less.

lol. you see the problem with plenty talk?

tonididdy:


I have never done 100 on that car... On busy morning during school hour rush I certainly couldn't speed anywhere... After school hours I could do 60 to 80 for 10mins of the 35mins trip, then the remainder 25mins is a bumpy ride all through.

Oya do your physics again bros.
your former physics teacher wont like this at all

This our country stupid sha. I give up

rationalmind:


Sure thing. But it's only after you heed the advice below.

Ah. no wahala.. I go enroll asap. any recommendation?

Meanwhile, i dey wait your calculation o. Too much talk no good. make we focus on the task at hand
Mind you, failure to post will leave me no other choice than to declare your estimation baseless, unreliable and a complete waste of time. we can all then wait for the oga to provide us more information.

rationalmind:


You should go back to secondary school

I don warn you to leave long talk.

You wey go secondary school, I dare you to post your calculations and how you arrived at 18mpg.
That one no go take too much time as a Physics guru you be.

No worry, you fit keep am as complicated as you like. i go understand

rationalmind:


Lol, that's because you skipped your physics classes.

I know the speed at which he travels and I know the time it takes him. I also know the amount he spends on fuel . What else do you need to calculate mpg?

Bros.. leave that plenty talk. with all your fancy variables, if you even get an error margin of +/-5MPG, I will be impressed.
your 18mpg means nothing until you know the distance covered.. its a simple as that. leave long talk

TCD:

18mpg is normal for that Lexus. He should tell us the actual miles he travels daily

Atleast people still dey reason here. How that other guy even calculated the 18mpg with only time of 35mins baffles me.

OP said Freeway driving and gas.. Are you doing all this driving in Nigeria or the US? just curious.

There was another post that shows how to estimate your combined mpg. After you get those numbers, we can now conclude if your car is consuming more than normal.

UK used iphone 5

Bros, he said good camera ..
what part of iphone 5 camera in this 2019 do you consider good?

OP. target the Chinese brands. Xiaomi is fairly decent

naijadrivablog:


Nice, but why not first build in Nigeria (like in Lagos or another city), especially a rentable house, before buying a house in the UK?

Just a little case now, those Tax hungry people would seize it or something.

Lol.. the house dey under mortgage bro.. a system that works
where for naija you fit collect that kind loan to build in nigeria in such a short time?

It's a national owned oil company


Stop depending on whites


It's 2019 not 1929


All these companies were taking our money elsewhere


Better they left self

That's a short-sighted analysis.. What has nnpc done? Since its inception? We can't even manage a simple refinery and you're here saying whites should go. If not for them, I put it to you that we can't even mine our own oil..

August is holiday in france. Virtually everything slows down or stops completely in August..

He actually looks like a guy you would meet in a pub

He looks 60..

So let's say 40 years active service..
That's 14600 days.

Divide that by 2500

That's approximately 6..

So 1 girl every 6 days.. he is still learning

Making new friends? Love for music? Anger?

On the first case, it's so annoying to hear that.. you dont pay minimum wage to a job requiring knowledge from a degree profession..

Nonsense. The should get a cleaner and pay 30k for their research and let's see how that'll turn out.

The sarcasm in this though

Next level sarcasm

xendra:
now you are trying to be an ingrate, you are not even shameful enough that a woman is catering for you, you now want to prove a man to your family with her money. SMH! tell them you don't have money and stop adding to the woman's stress.

Haha. OP!! I think your wife has responded to you here

Its 200naira oh... 200

If your concern is extremely low maintenance, then Corolla for sure..
if you like the prestige and performance, then eod for sure.. just remember to stay away from the v6 engines of that year.. they were notoriously good at damaging your gearbox.. it's a cost you dont need..

4 cylinder with good maint history should be perfect.. remember to be very careful with the supporting struts and suspension.. you know the typical Honda fear..

The Camry of the same year is poor on equipment and looks bland inside. Else I would have advised for that one.
Plus, the Corolla is just a thief magnet

In summary, I'll say go for the Honda.. take care of your car and in return you'll enjoy her..
