I have an assumption that C class has better fuel economy than eclass.

I bought 2k fuel on an empty tank at akowonjo. Drove to ikeja then gbagada, from gbagada to festac with the horrible traffic, came back to gbagada before heading home (igondo) the reserve light came on around Alausa ikeja.

You're enjoying, 2k on an empty tank for me will be in the reserve category. Car has a tank capacity slightly above 80 litres.

I drive a C320 05 and I can confidently say my C class fuel consumption is better than same year Corolla.

Well, to each according to his own. I drive a 2009 Corolla on most week days, I've never bothered to look at the fuel guage, As for My Mercedes, the fuel consumption is well documented on this thread

What now happens the next time you run into them. You obviously can't call your aunty again

My brother, as long as I get airtime, I go call am. And I have a tint permit, so I'm hoping this is a one-off abuse of power.

Earlier today, I had a financial mixup with the licensed men in black (SARS) on my way back from a meeting. They asked for my tint permit, I showed it to them without hesitation. They said it was fake and I must accompany them to Zone 6 or pay 15k non-negotiable. Son of man, had less than 4k cash and I wasn't in the mood to share, so I decided to follow my armed escorts to their office in order to confirm the authenticity of my tint permit.

Immediately they confirmed it, my new friends changed the charge to a more reasonable one, that I had modified the factory tint, the original permit was meant for and as such whatever piece of paper I was carrying at that time held no legal meaning to them. As I dey see the way things dey go, na it i say make i call for backup. My aunty arrived immediately, played Devil's advocate perfectly - diffused the situation, tore off the tints and reprimanded me heavily in front of her boys and set me on my way.

First two pictures na pre tint, accompanying picture na post tint. (I just stroll enter Bedwell, pay the guy 3k to run am, change still remain).

That right there behind that edited picture is a great truck, a Toyota land cruiser 75series Sahara edition
Very tough and rugged to tame any terrain . Nothing stops it. But it gulps Diesel oil like mad cos it weights 2.5tons

Truck easily tows other vans that are stuck, it's very powerful - only downside is the diesel consumption, for a brand new truck it uses an average of 13 Mpg on the highway.

It is, but not as capable as a 4runner. It is said, if you wanna go offroading, go with a Land Rover Discovery, but if you wanna go off-road and come back alive with your truck, get a 'yota off-road truck. But then, you must do modifications to these trucks to make them fully off-road capable. Things like lift the suspension 2-3" off the ground more, take away the foot step and install slide rails, install off-road tyres, install snorkel.

You're right chief. We've got Land Cruiser's at work, very lazy on the highway (I repeat very lazy) but beasts on any uneven road, mud or small streams. It'll cross and climb anywhere, although the diesel consumption leaves a lot to be desired.
