My camry has no catalyst. So far, fuel consumption is fair and I always turn on the AC whenever I drive it. Mine has a sound engine. It was purchased tokunbo and it isn't compromised yet.

That's so awesome, you got me thinking right now, that maybe I should at least, wait for my papers to fully be available, and then test drive It before buying the catalyst.

What year Is your camry?

Hello Nairalanders, as y'all can see from my previous threads, I bought a 2008 toyota camry July last year, the fuel consumption was something else and totally out of this world, I went from mechanic to mechanic, to detect and get It resolved, but the fault remained the same, nothing changed. So August last year, I bought a 2012 corolla, but it seems It also consume fuel which I didn't realized until I stormed upon a thread here on Nairaland, I came to this conclusion when I saw a thread on Nairaland titled "how much fuel per km does your car consume" I clicked on the thread and read all the comments and to my surprise, my corolla consume more fuel than those using v6 cars, a guy commented that his Toyota Venza goes 490 miles for 40k fuel, which is approximately 42 liters, I saw another comment where a guy stated that his camry goes 270km for 20k fuel.

Whereas my 2012 corolla goes 150km for 30k fuel which is approximately 31L of fuel. This Is the 5th time I have timed and calculated it's fuel consumption, the first I got 150km for 30k fuel, the second I got 144km for 30k fuel, the third I got 152km on 30k fuel, the forth, I got 146km on 30k fuel and the last which was four days ago, I got 149km on 30k fuel. I used "km" because my corolla gas milage reads in km and not miles.

Nevertheless, upon realizing this, I got a Nigerian used 2008 camry yesterday, the engine Is in great shape "very silent" but my mechanic I went with to purchase It warned me that there's no catalyst on it, In which I still proceeded in purchasing it, as I intended buying a catalyst for it tomorrow morning. I'm yet to test it's fuel consumption because I'm unable to drive It yet because my papers are not yet ready.

I have not sold my 2012 corolla yet, I told myself that If it consumes just like the corolla or consumes slightly just above the corolla, then I would sell my corolla, but If it consumes far more than the corolla then I would sell the newly bought camry and continue using my corolla.

For those using the 2007, 2008 or probably 2009 camry, what's your fuel consumption How many miles/km does your car goes per liter

Below are the pictures of my corolla and my newly bought camry.

But why on earth will you marry someone you don’t love ❤️?
So you are going to spend the rest of your life regretting your decision.. wow and unhappy for life.

That how my ex tried to make me to Marry her out of self pity I told her I am not going to live the rest of my life regretting why I marry you . I just end the relationship.

Unwanted pregnancy shouldn’t be a reason to go into marriage.

Good luck with your unhappy life .
My advise just leave her and run away to start a new life.

Thank you, leaving her won't be easy but I will fight tooth and nail for this to become a reality. I haven't been happy ever since I got married, not even one day of love, laughter and happiness.

Always sad, I love sleeping alone in the other room than sleeping on same bed with her, I love cuddling but barely touch her whenever I sleep on same bed with her, the marriage is also sex less. I barely get an erection starring at her totally naked body, but would get an instant and strong erection while driving and seeing my spec of a lady on bike or walking along the road.

yemmit90:
You lacks manners, wisdom and humility, that is all I can tell you.

Save this post today, you will regrets your action someday.

I won't regret anything, you think I'd have reacted in such a rude way and manner if my mind is still in the marriage?? Of course I won't, my mind is no longer in it and I'm hoping and praying heavily for what transpired yesterday to be the deal breaker that'd make me get back my bride price.

advanceDNA:
Oga ...u did not do anything wrong....na fire and petrol them dey use respond to that kind fire.... Otherwise, they will try it again....

No gree for any body.....

Thank you, this response just boosted my morale, thank you so very much.

idahme:
Whenever I say hi to a lady and we start talking, the moment I discover she is not in good terms with their dad omo my hand no dey I'm off...I don't like stress

I wish I knew this earlier, I won't be in this mess that I'm in right now. It was recently that I learnt about it from Twitter.

AfonjaConehead:
I just read a thread from a stupid demented loser of a man.

First paragraph was even enough for one to know about the loser behind it.
Op you are a disgrace....you know how to crush and get someone pregnant but you do t know how to be responsible.....
You are a destroyer and you will never go free or have peace if anything happens to that poor lady.
All you ranted in here are all garbage and if I were that woman's brother,we would've beaten the daylights out of you right there.....


The family should just look for the bride price and free their daughter from this shameless disgusting monster

Thank you, no wahala, I'm a monster. They should give me back my bride price, I'd gladly accept it.

You think I'd have acted in such rude way and manner if my mind is still in the marriage?? And not minding the consequences?? I pray and I hope that this will be the deal breaker for me getting back my bride price and finally leaving this marriage.

Iseoluwani:
my brother you are not weak, na man you be.
with respect to you, your in laws are irresponsible

Thank you sir, I appreciate these words. They just boosted my morale, thank you.

regenerateman:
It seems that you are immature. Just accept the bill from your in-laws.

Accepting it is not a problem, the problem right here is the fact that they're using it to take advantage of me. Most painful part of it is the fact that those that refused to do the right thing but enjoying their daughter for free are left with absolutely no bill, none at all.

StPete:
Let me be plain and honest with you.

Your wife intends to poison you. That is why she used those words slow painful death. Don’t be surprised that they possibly poisoned their father the last time they saw him and that’s why he became sick. He died a slow painful death

He really did died a slow and painful death. He became a skeleton, unable to eat for weeks, walk, talk.

Urinating and passing excretas on himself, with big boils with pus in the whole of his body.

Karleb:
You did well.

Don't you ever regret what you did here.

I won't regret it, ever. Thank you, this response just boosted my morale. Thank you.

obayendo1010:
Chill bro, you worry too much, wisdom is profitable to direct, Be calm, you don't need to fight anyone, just dont make yourself available, once the date of the burial set, send your support through your wife and inform everyone you travel and won't be available for the burial, that you wife will deliver your msg.
They will still bury their father, lastly always respect your wife,stopping feeling funky, she never force you.

This Is a very beautiful piece of advice. I will do exactly as you say, thank you so much.

That aside she forced me boss, still feels like yesterday, remembering right now the hell I went through in her hands. I didn't even know when I later bowed to. pressure, the pressure was too much.

Donemmy:
How old are you please?

Boss, I'm 30.

Overmars36:
You acted childish honestly. You dare not try that with my sister. You didn't only insult your wife but her entire lineage. You goofed big time!
Nothing wrong in you refusing to be pressured into doing what u wouldn't want to do. But to say it in that manner particularly in the public, means u are a kid. Nobody forced u into marriage. Nobody.
I pity that innocent lady. She didn't choose the family she came from. Nobody ever chose the family they come from cos we don't have such right by nature. It wasn't her fault that the dad had several concubines and perhaps lived an irresponsible Life. You're a disgrace honestly. You had better go your separate ways since u don't love her. By now I am sure you are already cheating on that innocent beautiful lady.

You think I would have reacted in such a disrespectful way and manner, not minding the consequences if my mind is still in the marriage??

Regarding cheating on her, yes... That's true, I barely touch her but normally have sex almost on a daily basis if not on a daily basis with girls that I'm attracted to.

This is one of the main reason I need her to go, I'm tired of wasting my money on hotels. Jumping from one hotel to another, paying for condomless sex just to feel that pleasure and satisfaction that I'd have been getting for free from my wife if I'm attracted to her. Once she has left, I will find a lady I'm fully attracted to and would no longer be wasting my money on hotels and sex.

humblespirit:
You disgrace the mother of child in public,kudos to you,you are a man.

Still feels like yesterday when I was pleading with her endlessly that I'm not in anyway ready for marriage, still feels like yesterday when she showed me all sorts of hell to the extend I didn't realized when I bowed to pressure and agreed to marry her. I agree that I disgraced her but I won't forget the torture that I went through during the period she was pressuring me endlessly. If she has listened to me back then and stayed calm, until I'm fully ready for marriage all these won't have been happening.

Yippeedaniel:
Guy you're wrong in all aspects. From claiming forced marriage to shouting at your inlaws and your wife. Got and apologize to all of them and do the needful. Something dey will me say u dey beat that gal.

You think I would have acted in such a way and manner if my mind body and soul is still in the marriage? I'm only there physically, but to be brutally honest with u, I'm really no longer interested. And this is why I was able to showcase such boldness with our fear of any repercussions.

idahme:
Why una dey always talk trash? Is he more of a child than the children of the deceased? The man has plethora of children but an outsider (in-law) will be the one to carry more load than the children that's absurd, if I am in his shoes I won't for a single second.

If it comes to liabilities they know a man is an in-law to share with the liabilities but if it comes to assets (property sharing) the man is never invited. Children should have the responsibility of taking care of their parents in health and in death inlaws can assist but that's not their primary responsibilities.

I have two in-laws married to my sisters, we only informed them that mum will be going under knife, the information was to give them that respect of been in the know but the expenses has been borne already by us the children. If they decide to help that's fine but it's an error for we the children to give them the lion share of the bills never and I will also reject anyone who ever does that to me.

We should learn to take accountability and responsibilities for ourselves and family and not shift it to others because they got married to someone in the family.

.

Thank you so very much sir, your wisdom will never run dry. Please permit me to copy this response to my notepad, I'd be needing it for future reference. Most especially the part that you stated in laws are only known as an in law when it comes to liabilities. Thank you so very much sir, may thy Lord God Almighty shower his unending blessings upon your life and that of your household, thank you so very much, I really do appreciate, thank you.

Prettychild:
Oga you did wrong. First of all, I don’t believe that a woman would force you into marrying her. If you don’t want her, never date her so you won’t accuse her of forcing you into marriage. Your in-laws can’t bill the baby fathers cos those children are traditionally not theirs. You are the legitimate in-laws and so would receive billing which is normal. It’s you that would use your discretion to decide which one you would prefer to do in the list

So whatever they'd be piling on the list, all isn't compulsory and mandatory to provide??

optimismlaz:
My brother if you cares to listen, you did wrong , that their tradition other sisters of hers are not traditionally married and they cannot be tasked or asked to bring something. You must perform your traditional duties and there a lot of benefits and also there also consequences. Act wise

Regarding the benefits, I'm really not interested in what they're because my mind has already left the marriage. If my mind body and soul are still on it I won't have in anyway acted and reacted the way I did no matter what they piled up for me, I'd have handled things with sense.

Please any idea what the consequences are? I really would loved to know please.

Sugarboyy:
What a weak man you are
He should go and apologize to his in-laws?
Well, men have become so weak and that's one of the many problems of today's society and you have shown to be one of these weak men

I have responded to him already, I told him that I won't and will never apologize.

It hurts me more realizing that those (the men) that their daughter have born more than 2 - 3 kids are not tasked with anything, no single billing, absolutely nothing. Where as I and the other in law that did right by getting married to their daughter are the ones that they piled billings for.

Lekan239:
lol. Can u imagine I clean over 3 sentences I have written only bcus I think with wat u write up there, u don't deserve my response. U be mumu

Please type them, I'd really loved to know your opinion regarding this. Please.

ObalendeCMS:
Damn!

Your in law is one big nasty family.

I'd suggest you find a way out of that family & leave their "USED" daughter for them

I guess you are from that other side.

I'm trying to leave this marriage, it's really not easy, I'm trying all I can but no single positive hope in sight yet. Absolutely none.

Sleekfingers:
You said, you were forced to marry her. That's a terrible mistake from your end.

If you don't mind me asking you.,. How old are you?

In my opinion, they see as a weak person and their milking Cow . You better end the marriage, before it is too late .

I'm 30, I got married to her 9 months ago, I was 29 then.

It'd be difficult and nearly impossible for me to end the marriage, she isn't in any way ready to let go. The only condition she has accepted for the marriage to come to an end is the fact that we'd both still be fully together after returning her bride price which I rejected, anything short of this she'd become a tigress whenever I talks about the discontinuation of the marriage.

Angelawhite:
I’m sorry but Wetin carry you go family full of baby mamas ?

You have two choices, quit the marriage or foot the expenses. As long as you are married, you are still entitled to some expenses by tradition

Please enlighten me so I would know what to do and not acting out of ignorance. Is the list or goat compulsory? Because a friend told me that the only thing in laws are mandated to take care of is the digging of the grave. I really wish to know if the list or goat is compulsory, most especially the list because only heaven knows what they intend heaping on it for me to buy.

salem1996:
Force you to marry how?

You wanted to get her pregnant and leave the responsibility to another man then later call her a whoring single mother in the future right?

We want to enjoy the pleasure of flying from a plane down to the ground, yet blame the ground for making us feel the pain...

Leave the responsibility to another man how? I'd have surely taken care of any responsibility in this world regarding the child, I'd never ever have dodged any of his responsibilities.

Prophetkelly:
Baba, your outburst at your In-law place wasn't necessary and a very hurtful one to your wife. If she has any dignity, this should be the deal breaker and everyone should go on their own.

I can only imagine the kind of trauma your child will be going through everyday seeing that his/her parents are always quarrelling to the extent of beating eachother; holding shirt/slapping.

If you pack out of the house and never return, will she hold you like you're claiming? If you're not longer interested..pack out of the house, notify her people to return bride price and if they don't, that's their problem.

Because what is this? You people are now disgracing Una sef for outside.

The house is mine, I've been having difficulty moving out. Nevertheless I'm currently in contact with some agents, I'm looking for somewhere to rent. Surely it'd be the end of this month and I'd be out of the house.

Regarding our child, he's still very young, just 4 months old. So he still doesn't know what's happening.

Regarding her dignity, she will never ever leave no matter the humiliation. Never.

SeriouslySense:
its okay to let them know you cannot be a scape goat for billings. Don't let them fustrate your life.

Simple, thank you. 🙏

airsaylongcome:
You don eff o! You eff up. I can understand not wanting to bear the burden of the funeral, but to go cast your wife? Na big eff be that.


Plus which one is she forced you to marry her. Did she hold your hand to sign? Did she compel you to go see her parents? You see say her siblings dey born outside without drama from the dad and you decide to "born inside" when "I was not ready?". Na free bride price? Abi the bride price na installments you dey pay am?

She didn't forced me to sign but she 101% compelled me to go see her parents, still feels like yesterday, I can remember the endless daily troubles she gave me back then back then, those period was totally hell for me.

promami:
You did well. Maintain your stance. You're a man.
Don't allow anyone manipulate you.
Ditch the woman you call wife since you're not attracted to her. This life is too short to spend it with the wrong person.
Avoid the woman too. This women dey overdo. She fit wan plan something wey go pain you...... including death. Just dey careful.

Thank you, I will be careful. She called me this morning and started talking about how I embarrassed her in front of her family and friends, then she hanged up. I went home this evening and I didn't see her at home, I've called everyone close to her and until now her whereabouts is unknown, her numbers isn't going through and her WhatsApp profile picture has turned white.

Nevertheless, I'd find out tomorrow what's really going on.

Forkthiefnubu:
Simp, you were forced into a marriage and u stayed there . God forbid bad thing

I'm not a simp boss, u really don't know what I went through during those period when she newly found out that she was pregnant. I saw hell and didn't know exactly when I later bowed to the pressure.

Crafteck1:
R u dumb, cant you walk away? Who are you trying to impress, no matter your effort humans would still say ur bad laslas u better do whats in your heart and be d bad person

You really don't understand, she won't let me go. She says she's sticking with me forever that she has already given birth, that she already has a scar when giving birth through CS, that I should make her whole the way she was before I met her that it's the only condition that would make her go.

I told her that there are women out that have given birth to 3 or 4 children through same CS that's she's hyping and today they are no more with their partners due to the fact that things didn't worked out. But she always insist that that's their own that she isn't going anywhere.
