Why not?
That car can be tuned to be much more efficient.
Suggestions please.

I've read the manuals on how to optimize for fuel consumption.

I don't drive hard. Air filters were changed recently. No check engine light etc. so what could be missing?

For an Es330? Is ur check engine light on? I drive an 01 Acura Mdx randomly and i get 14.2 mpg in city driving (with the Ac on and regular fuel), despite the manufacturer requiring premium fuel. Ur Es330 is meant to at least get above 19mpg in the City.
No check engine light. Engine runs like new.

Of course my stated mpg was with AC on and regular fuel (Lexus requires premium too so this will affect too).

I'm not sure the manufacturer city driving factors Lagos city driving. i.e I do roughly 35 miles daily and my average speed is only 12.5MPH. No manufacturer will use such a low average speed rating for city driving. Which is why am not too bothered. Lagos is killing mehn.

godwinasky:
Hello guys!

Please i need solution to my Honda CRV's excessive fuel consumption. It has a fuel tank capacity of about 60 litres, and i have observed that it runs about 200 miles or 320 km at that.

The oxygen sensors, spark plugs, catalyst converter( indomine) have been changed, and the nozzles where serviced. Asides, i do petrol treatment and use injector cleaner for every 80l of fuel. I don't use AC because of this, and i don't drive beyond 120 km/ hr most times and my tires are usually well-inflated.

So, i wonder what i could do to improve the gas milleage of the car. I would really appreciate ideas on this.

Thank you very much guys, and happy independence day in advance!!
320km on 60 liters doesn't look too bad to me. What year is your CRV? Have you factored in Lagos traffic is a major fuel drainer?

There is a new development here.

MissJoyJoy reported that FRSC has shut down the DL application system hence new applications cannot be processed for now.

She also reported that she doesn't have my driving school certificate because the driving school also has issues....

Na so so issues I dey hear, lol...


MissJoyJoy has offered to refund my money NGN18,500.00 by tomorrow being 20.09.2016.

I will inform the house when I get refunded....
This is good news.

Let's hope she actually makes good on her promise.

AutosRe: Bad Service From Missjoyjoy by Iolo(m): 3:27am On Sep 13, 2016
Op,

Sorry you've had a bad experience so far. I actually applied for my own DL April ending and got the temp ready by late June or so. And it was a stressful process. I sometimes thought the VIO guy that collected my money duped me.

I think Missjoyjoy may be genuine (I won't conclude yet until I see pics of the docs she gave you) but she's not giving you the full gist.

The process for me was:

1. Fill DL form and pay VIO guy
2. Was called for a driving school to come for test after two weeks.
3. Went for tests and drove their car around for a bit. The guy told me he will give feedback to the people in charge.
4. I then waited for the 26 working days more like 40 normal days for the driving school certificate to be ready. The cert itself can only be printed by the FRSC and comes from ABUJA.
5. I received a bunch of documents stapled together prior to capturing. The certificate from the driving school , a backdated learners permit, a printout of N6350 application online, and some VIO document which was to be filled in during the eye test at the VIO office.

Not sure she gave you all these documents but if she did then that may tell she's genuine.

I once read on one of Pattybf's posts that they've been having issues with new DL applications for a few months now. Not sure exactly what the issue is but I know no permanent DL cards are been printed.

But Missjoyjoy kindly come online and clarify exactly what the issue is so your client is at rest. Nothing beats good communication.

This Buhari government is really stressing people up trying to get a genuine DL b

WHY PRAISING HIM FOR WORK HE WAS VOTED FOR TO DO
Because by singing his praises, we are benchmarking him as a performer and maybe the non performing governors will begin to perform.

A Governor wants to be loved by his people. It's not bad to show some love to someone who's doing a good job. It's the same way a sensible boss or employer tells you "well done" or writes a letter of commendation to spur you to do more rather than say "you are only doing your job".

Hopefully they're training a lot more people so that they can expand and not overwhelm the staff that they already have..

Also, what is the number to call the emergency services? Do they have a easy to remember, well publicized emergency number? I know I've seen "112" on the Rapid Response vehicles.
112 gets you to RRS, LASEMA, LASG Fire Service etc...the respondent puts a call through to any of these based on your compliant.
RomanceRe: Can You Operate A Joint Account With Your Spouse? by Iolo(m): 8:43am On Jul 28, 2016
MrDoGood:
this has nothing to do with trust.

some most women are just too stingy for u to help ur own family. they want u to pay %100 attention to her own family.
I think a lot of people have different perceptions on how a joint account should run. It does not necessarily mean that all income of both husband and wife should be domiciled in one account. A couple could have a joint account for family living expenses, another for investment purposes and you both agree how much to drop into the account every month or as desired.

In all fairness any woman who wants you to spend on her family alone is wicked. And as the man you have to be firm and stand your ground.

PoliticsMissing Police Vehicles Found; IGP Staff Cars Under Repair; One Returned by Iolo(op): 8:25pm On Jul 18, 2016
Missing police vehicles found; IGP staff cars under repair; one returned – Vanguard’s investigation

Barely 24 hours after the Acting Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris accused his predecessor, IGP Solomon Arase (rtd) of moving away 24 Police vehicles including the official IGP Staff Car, which is armoured plated and bullet proof, and the spare staff car, both of which are BMW’s, Vanguard can report authoritatively that both cars were sent to an auto repair shop for total and comprehensive repairs for use of the next IGP.

Vanguard’s investigation showed that the cars were sent to Auto Computers located in the Jabi district of Abuja and that the spare BMW car has been completed and repainted. The spare staff car was said to have been having engine problems for the last five years before the last administration sent it for repairs. A source at Auto Computer told Vanguard that the spare car was delivered to the Police headquarters on Sunday afternoon after completion of repairs and that officials of the company would visit the Acting IGP to demand for payment of the job done.

For the armoured plated Staff Car, Vanguard was told that because of the high technology embedded in the car, the company will need more time to fix the identified problems of the car as some of the needed parts will be imported.

The source pointed out that nobody approached Auto Computer to ask about the whereabouts of the cars, and that since it was the police that brought them, they (company) just went about their repairs. When Vanguard sought to find out if the proper procedure of ascertaining location of the cars were followed, it was discovered that the Works Department and the Force Transport Department that would have been approached for explanations were not approached. Rather, the IGP secretariat comprising of newly posted officers, were said to have written the former IGP demanding the whereabouts of the staff cars and other 22 vehicles, some the former IGP was said to have interpreted as a slight on his person.

Further investigation in other relevant departments regarding the whereabouts of other vehicles showed that the vehicles were intact and that while some were deployed for operations, the Police had records of the location of others.

Recall that when news of the alleged missing 24 vehicles made the rounds on Sunday, the former IGP, responded to questions saying the allegations were the handiwork of mischief makers bent on trying to tarnish his integrity. He wondered what he would be doing with 24 Police operational vehicles when he was not operating a car mart

I'm roughly 2-3 months away from rounding off my NYSC programme and I just got a job with a telecomm firm and they resolved to paying 60k per month (after tax). Now I'm at a crossroad because I was aiming for something higher than this. This really has nothing to do with pride as some people might assume, just that I'm somewhat disturbed that the sum is not 'okay' enough, considering the harsh realities confronting the economy presently. I'm expected to start soon and I'm so confused, whether to accept or reject the offer.
