Correct. Hybrids are built for stop and go traffic not road trips. That being said, this is still low for a Camry hybrid. It's rated at 34mpg mixed driving. Poor fuel will lose you about 3-5mpg. It should be giving about 30mpg factoring fuel and lead foot. There is an inefficiency somewhere in the system but not too bad at 26mpg.

Far from it. But what do I know

I just got a Toyota corolla 2007 model last year. Initially i used conventional Mobil oil (the one sold for 5K). I later switched to Mobil synthetic this year and have not serviced my car in 6 months. The car is jerking a bit and i got our company driver to check, he says i may have to change the plugs and service the car... Some of my friends says Synthetic oil is not necessary for Older, high mileage cars... my car is about 135k.... what do you think please ?

So I am working on a project looking at the top Automotive Trade Platforms in Nigeria and how they are shaping car dealings in the Nigerian ecosystem.

The name that readily comes to mind is Cars45 but I know there are other platforms too who are relatively unknown.
With the entrance of Cars45 into the Nigerian online platform for the sale of cars, they have garnered a lot of customers based on trust and transparency in their dealings.

So let's share experiences using the Cars45 platform and also mention if any, other Automotive Trade Platforms in Nigeria that you know or you have heard about.

Go buy a prius as a support or better still, buy our Camry. By now, your regular fuel station attendants must know you by name.

My wife started behaving strangely immediately I lost my job in April 2017. She leaves home to her mum at the slightest disagreement without even communicating or making to express her feelings; and to worsen it, her mum gives her a great welcome with a room and parlour for her to stay, without even calling me to discuss what the problem. Whatever her daughter says is always the final, and she concludes on that.

My wife literarily destroyed my image before my in-laws to such an extent that I can't even visit them again. She tells them i insult her and her parents, and i make negative remarks about them, that i abuse her verbally at the slightest provocation. Several lies against me that I did not allow her travel out, I don't give her money, I told her not to have another kid, that I told her not to work, her mother has decided to keep her with her as I speak without even calling me to discuss, even despite all my appeals. She has been with her mum now for almost ten months(my wife is a fully grown legally married faithful woman of almost 40 years)

All these disrespect, probably cos I lost my job two years ago of which I fulfilled all responsibilities to the home. i don't drink, i don't smoke, don't womanise(even till now) I have never beaten her, I never another child out of my matrimonial home, and never impregnated another woman.

Rather than resolve her marital problem by discussing with her husband, she takes it to her family claiming emotional abuse. Fine, I agree I get provoked cos of her persistent shortcomings, and of course, frustration which leads to unguided vocal utterances towards her, but this could have been resolved easily without having to involve her whole family. Now what she keeps telling my family is that her family said she should still hold on at her mum's place. This is the 10th month since October 2018.

The last time my mum went to her mum's house precisely June last month, she was asked if she was still interested in her marriage, and she said yes, that she does not intend leaving her marriage; but we should give her time. Her mother practically told me to go and do something meaningful, and that there is time to marry, separate, reunite and hustle. Her mum is the one controlling her movements and everything about her for now; not even giving her room to give me audience.

Pls advise on what to do.

We are legally married.

There’s nothing more frustrating than getting excited about fixing a problematic automobile all by yourself only to discover that the repairs required are well beyond your skills as a mechanic!! Nevertheless, there are times when the average DIY enthusiast shouldn’t begin to ponder particular automotive repairs and leave the problem to the professionals.

Here are examples of when it’s best to protect your vehicle and yourself by not trying to repair your car yourself.

Bodywork and paint – Repairing damaged body panels and applying paint is an expensive, messy, noxious, and time-consuming process. Between all the fumes and required training, it’s one of those repairs that specialized professionals are the only obvious option.

Windshield replacement – This is one of those repairs that all drivers dread, and it’s easy to understand why. The smart thing to do is to get a brand-new windshield professionally installed because the last thing you need is a leaky piece of glass ruining your interior

Fuel system fixes – Fuel systems have the capacity to cause headaches, garage fires, and even unconsciousness. Our recommendation is to play it safe and leave anything having to do with replacing a fuel pump, tank, injectors, rails, or pressurized lines for professionals to handle.

Snapped coil springs – Always under extreme pressure and strong enough to kill a full-grown man, the springs on a car are tightly wound mouse traps. There are dangers and risks associated with swapping springs and it’s best to let a trainer and skilled mechanic do his thing.

AC system restoration – The number of parts requiring replacement on a modern vehicle when an AC compressor locks-up is staggering. Once that crucial component seizes up, it will more than likely send tiny shards of metal through every inch of the system, meaning every line and fitting needs to be replaced along with the condenser, evaporator, compressor, and various other items. It’s expensive, time-consuming, and dangerous, and a task that even trained professionals may dread doing.

Brake plumbing and reservoir replacement – Even the small stuff, like replacing your brake pads and rotors can put you in dangerous territory really quick. Being able to stop safer than when you started is the reason we bleed brakes and upgrade pads and rotors with aftermarket options, but things don’t always go according to plan. So when something like a master cylinder or a line rusts in half, it’s usually best to take your car to a shop for repairs in order for everything to be flared and fixed properly.

Defective airbag fixes – This last warning should be a bit obvious, but that doesn’t stop people from trying to swap out detonated or defective airbags on their own. Unplugging everything properly and removing the old unit is one thing; fitting in the fresh airbag can be a completely different story. While these kinds of repairs may save you money (when not covered under warranty or recall), relying upon trained professionals will provide you both with peace of mind and factory fitment without all the headaches.
