Ogbeni, check and be sure the thermostat is intact. Also scoop the tailpipe with your finger and see if you have soot..
It has extremely dark soot, very dark.
Where can I locate the thermostat in a car?

If You Want To Buy Motor, Go To BENIN City In Edo State And Thank MR BLOGGER much later.

Better Sell Off, that Corolla Car Now And Get Better Corolla Car That has Catalyst Inside, It helps To save fuel consumption in Corolla Car
What if I look for the catalyst, buy it and install it on the car, will that be OK? Because I can do that today.

Have you check the Catalyst? that maybe the problem cuz some of these car dealers u can't trust them on Catalyst ooo.
From the sound of the car, it does not have catalyst, but some mechanics has told me that catalyst does not affect fuel consumption, I'd have put it already on the car.

Another fear is the mechanic that'd be going with me to get it, ripping me off, because I don't know how it seems/look like.

Op You no ready to test the Car if You ready You go fill the tank up.

Watin be 8k fuel for this AFRICAN GOAT FAILURE personified called tinubu regime na?
But is it compulsory that I fill up the tank before testing the fuel usage? Why is it compulsory boss? Can I test it with an half tank? Then, write down the odo meter number before testing, can I?

u have to forget d idea that corolla don't consume fuel... I've driven uber before, for you to test if your car consumes fuel or not, you have to fill the tank.... And check how many days it takes for d fuel fuel guage to drop.....also note dat 8k fuel is like 7 litres now and 7 litres is nothing... Na reserve tank u jst put fuel

Also if you're in d city, maybe Abuja or lag, forget about all dis mechanics, they'll jst eat d hell out of your money.... If you're in Abuja, go to minna to fix your car, if you're in lagos, enter ibadan or ilorin to fix your car.....
The 8k fuel was 6L

I bought 1350 per liter

Are you sure they've not removed the catalyst too
I'm sure it's been removed, because whenever I match the teto the sound coming out of the exhaust seems like power bike, but a lot of mechanics has assured me that catalyst doesn't affect fuel consumption, I'd have changed it already.

How much per litre?

8k fuel is very small these days and if you bought at 1100 per litre then it means 7.2ltrs although your car supposed to do at least 7-8km per litre which means you are supposed to get above 50km on 8k fuel

No thanks to federal government, fuel cost killing the masses since May 2023
It's just 6L, I bought 1350 per liter at the filling station.

There are two oxygen sensors. Upstream and downstream. The Upstream will be right after the exhaust manifold while the downstream will be after the catalyst. The job of these sensors is to measure what comes out of your exhaust manifold and Cat and do a conversion to determine how efficiently they are working.
I am not a Toyota expert but fuel consumption of a car or any vehicle are determine by how many injectors it has. Most Corolla has 4 injectors cos they classify them as compact car. Camry and Venza are classified as full size car are will have 6 injectors. All you have to do is see how many injectors you car use and that should explain it.



You're so right, my mechanic told me that the oxygen sensor is two. One is very close to the bunnet, catalyst area and the other Is just under the catalyst.

Please sir which of the two should I change to help with the excess fuel consumption, or should I change the two?

Regarding the Injector, they're 4
Should I change them?

Also

Can a bad or non functioning oxygen sensor make a car to consume fuel excessively?

Bro you have to calm down seriously on how you handle your car.
Your enthusiasm to want to get everything sorted out yourself without going the right route will mess you new car up.
Tell the scanner man to give you the code the scanner is populating, share it here and I believe knowledgeable experts will help you out.
This exhaust sensor he is talking of could just be the Oxygen sensor if you check properly and oxygen sensors are not even difficult to get both as brand new and as tokunbo.
Please stop trusting your mechanics blindly or completely and open up your mind to advise and possibly solution from some top specialist on this platform.
This is just my opinion, you can take it with a pinch of salt.
I'm desperate to solve the fuel issue, that's why I need to get everything done.

I looked for the sensor everywhere but I couldn't find any, my mechanic brought one to me and said it came with a car engine, he would be fixing it tomorrow, I will try and look for the other so everything will fall into place.

Do you know where I can get the car scanner and the name also, so I can scan it myself and share the code here?

Oxygen sensore dey everywhere either new or tokunbo i can help u get it but first icneed to see the scan result to be sure if the sensore need to be change or not sir.
I will get the name of what the scanner man said needs to be changed, or probably snap it and post it here, I really need to know if it'd make the odometer and speed meter read again, my mechanic said the speed meter not reading is affecting the jar box selector and not making it select fast. I don't know how true is it.

My odo meter (distance meter) isn't working self
the speed meter isn't working, I mean the kilometer and miles reader.
My fuel guage isn't working too

I bought 33k fuel this morning but it's still on reserve.


The scanner man could not correct the error, he said that we have to change something, I have forgotten the name, he said it's 80-100k to change it.

I do not have the scan result, the person that was scanning it told me it's exhaust sensor. I told my mechanic and he told me that all cars uses two exhaust sensor that's close to the bunnet, I can't find it anywhere, my mechanic told me it's expensive that one is 23k that he has one for sale and I should look for the other.

The scanner man didn't tell me if it's two that's bad or just one, that's the problem right now, but nevertheless I'm searching for the two.

Impossible.
Only highlander and venza can share engine.
Plus maybe hilux and fortuner.
No corolla will be able to use a venza engine.
No, it's purely a venza engine. Lots of camry are also using it, purely venza engine.
