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?

Seems ur matter is complicated ohh, abeg you need to take details of every part they mention to you make dem no go run you street.
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.

If you can drop the scan result we can help you get a solution sir
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.

You should be specific
All these corolla engine venza engine is half information
Engines have their model numbers

It depends on the year.
Is it the 2AR engine u mean?

Even the 8k fuel is half info
How many litres did u get from the 8k

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.

I scanned it, the issue wasn't oxygen sensor, the scanner told me it was exhaust sensor. I searched for it throughout the whole of today but I couldn't find it, tomorrow I will continue Mt search.

An 8k fuel which around 6 and half litre for 31 km ride was too much for now unless you tested it during buhari regim.
You mean the fuel usage was OK or I'm the one not understanding what you meant? Is it OK?

Good morning Nairalands

After my never ending fuel gulping battle with my Toyota Camry, I later ended up buying a 2012 Toyota Corolla.

I went with my mechanic to a car stand to get it, when we got there we saw different kinds/types of corolla. My mechanic told me some are 1.8l engine while others are 2.0l and a lot of the corolla uses venza engine.

I wanted to buy any of the corolla of 1.8L engine but my mechanic told me that they're old model, that I should get a recent corolla with Venza engine, but I refused when I heard the word "venza engine"

I told my mechanic that over my dead body will I jump from frying pan to fire, from Camry to Venza. I said so because since the corolla is using Venza engine, it'd surely gulp up fuel like Venza, which would be a lot worst than a camry.

But my mechanic assured me that what I said is very false, that it won't. That a corolla is a corolla and corollas doesn't eat fuel.

His words really calmed me down and I bought the 2012 corolla.

So I bought 8k fuel to test the fuel usage and see how long it'd last, I know I should have bought more, but I needed to get a faster result.

Well, it turns out that my mechanic tricked me and I'm in so much pains right now, my 8k fuel only went for 31km before the fuel got exhausted, I later realized that I was very much right and shouldn't have listened to my mechanic that a corolla is a corolla, venza engine or small 1.8L engine.

From my observation, it seems the 2012 corolla is gulping up fuel like a venza. Yesterday, I took it to a mechanic and asked them to fix anything that'd make the car to gulp up fuel, they changed the plugs, cleaned the filter, I will be testing it today with another 8k fuel, I pray and I hope that it won't be as bad as it was yesterday, because I'm so depressed right now, after what my camry did to me which made me went for a corolla, now I'm having same issue with my corolla. I'm really so down right now.

RichIgboBoy:
have you tried using this car for long distance trips to calculate the fuel usage?
No, I haven't tried that sir.
But from what I'm experiencing, I think it'd still be same result.

Getting a catalyst may resolve it but it’s not certain beside I suspect the two has been removed one by the engine manifold and the one on the exhaust beneath.
Yes, same thing my mechanic suggested, he said if I have both catalyst replaced it'd be the end of the excess fuel draining issue, I tole him that I'm ready to have both changed but I'm afraid it might not work, that I have already spent a lot in trying to resolve this fuel issue and replacing the catalyst and, if eventually it didn't work will be a very huge blow to me. If not, I'm fully ready to have them replaced.

Muscle and Corolla I can bet are the highest cars with no catalytic and it really sad 80% of Nigerian used car you find today has the catalytic removed this are the hand work of sometimes the car dealer, panel beater or mechanic.
Sir, will a catalyst solve the problem?
If yes and with full assurance then can risk it, even if it's getting a China catalyst as advised by one of the mechanic, please let me know your opinion, I will highly appreciate it

Whois:
Maybe (you should convert it to CNG or) go for one of those hybrid cars. Since you're very conscious about your fuel consumption. Hybrid cars are very expensive duh
I don't like corolla, but because I was told it's very fuel efficient, and the difference between it's consumption and Keke isn't much and very noticeable. I have optioned to go for corolla.

Car is a liability. You bought the car two weeks ago, and you've spent like 196k for fuel plus bills from Kazeem and now you're going to sell lesser the amount you bought it just after two weeks.

Mhen, I don't wish this tragedy to befall my enemies.

You'll be fine.

Try not to buy Nigerian used cars. It's rare for a Nigerian to sell his car when it's in good condition.
I have already contemplated selling it, the mistake has already been made and I have fully and wholeheartedly accepted my lose.

He can still buy Nigerian used but he shouldn’t rush it. To get a google deal he might need to patient for like 3 months
Exactly, my friend bought Toyota Camry direct Belgium last year 5.6m

And now I bought Nigerian used, less than a year later for a lot more than what my friend bought direct Belgium used In a space of less than a year. The situation is really so pathetic.

After selling the car, don't rush to buy another one. Just take like 30k from the money and take yourself out. That car don show you shege, you really need to enjoy first.
