My brother bought an hyundia with same battery problem you mentioned in your post here....this is a direct Tokunbo car or not a naija used... He changed over 4 new batteries and countless numbers of sarpenter belt because the charging alternator just won't stop getting hot so making the belt to burn and cut off.

When it comes to engineering nothing is guaranteed bro.

My Guy a dealer buy car F150 but everything was normal as we test drive, put machine and there was no check engine lights or whatsoever lights on the dashboard.
But on our way back the steering became as strong and stiff as if you're driving a trailer, we called the man he said he knows nothing about it that he even bought the car for personal use.
We spent days at ojuelegba trying to sort the issue, bought different steering racks and pumps even bought one brand new.
Until we took it to one Guy that said we should go and come back but before we go that his pannel beater will check if their is catalyst so we don't come and say he removed it.
That he has experienced it several times, we argued that the car is toks and no lights but the Guy insist then we paid the panel and to our greatest fear no catalyst.
We end of fixing it the next day, but the technician couldn't notice all these before payments were made.

Thank you my brother, buying Naija used cars na wahala.
Most times when u don reach house u go come begin dey see why the owner sell am, and we don't have records like some foreign used cars that the history is there.
The owner won't dare mention any of the faults to you and if u notice any by yourself they will lie that it just started, wasn't like that before.
To worsen the whole thing, agents don't care about making proper inspection, they are only interested in getting buyer and get their cut even if the car no reach house dat wan na ur business.
They will sweet tongue you into paying once you pay OYO now ur name, even if you go with mechanics there are some errors you won't still notice until you start using the car.

OasisX:


Wike seems prepared though.

larride:
Na so politics be.

Make these ministers just perform. Na my own be that.

Hopefully Tinubu won't be like Buhari that dont sack or change dormant and incompetent ministers.

Set KPIs for them and put machinery in place to review each ministry quarterly.

larride:
Yes

Theflint1:
The whole screening thing is pretty much a charade, given that portfolios haven't been assigned... a very shambolic ministerial selection process.

OasisX:
CLEARED

nateevs:
I was trying not to say this but yes, he's been slow in changing direction and on the half turn. It seems he's not suited for deep positions

iamoyindamola:
I agree with what izzou said
Those assholes are not our friend alway avoid issue with them

larride:
If you have the original documents with you, just go and do another photocopy.

But so that he wont use the copy with him to set trap for you using stolen vehicle, try and do affidavit and police report.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]As long as he has no originals, please go and do new photocopies and move on with your life.

But he is right. You need to do an affidavit and get a police report.

There is no law that says so, but that is your proof that you truly own the engine.[/color]

raumdeuter:
There are many good development in the area. Around Onireke, Kolapo Ishola, Alao Akala GRA, they are about to start a new Rasheed Ladoja GRA on the Lagos express which will be close to the planned circular road around Ibadan

I just pray for continuity of sane govt in Oyo.

Someone told me recently that all the good schools with great facilities that Amaechi constructed in PH say Wike refused to use the schools and grass has overgrown them. Itsrm can you confirm

valarinz:
You're always so aggressive and talk condescendingly to people, all brawn and fewer brain to your talk and posts most times, you go to change tact Sir, its beneath you

Fuel is sold below ₦570/ltr here in Lagos (which account for a reasonable percentage of total car ownership in the nation), you dont have to Insult anyone due to your ignorance

Also, ₦10k or lower fuel savings in a month is inconsequential in the context youre debating, now kindly give it a rest 👍🏾

Trevor012:
This useless club still dey exist. Itsrm please come and give us your prediction again 😂😂

What is poor about 19mpg? What is the actual difference in fuel cost between someone who does 19mpg and another doing 25mpg in say a week assuming both of them do an average of 200km a week?

Less than 3k a week and 10k a month. At 100km a week which is typical for most people doing 8-5, you're looking at a little over 1k a week and less than 5k a month. So much ado about nothing.

Only those who use their vehicles for public transport and cover hundreds of miles weekly should bother about these things

This is your original post where you mentioned mpg and kilometres in your first paragraph... How do you expect someone who doesn't know both measurements to reconcile your mpg yarns with the sudden shift to yarns about 200km?

4 weeks make one month?.. So 30 days or 31 days which make most months are four weeks? .. Please Remind me how many days are in a week?


NNPC official fuel price has been 617 per litre since 18th of this month.. The fact that you are mentioning 568 per litre makes me question whether you even own a vehicle...in which case trying to educate you is pointless...

And then you condescendingly thinking that tune-up parts will deteriorate within 7 months makes me wonder what kind of Jalopy you have been hopping, that's if you even have a car at all.


And please just sleep if you can't mention where in Nigeria you ar buying fuel at 568 per litre as at today.

Ventura1:
Most filling stations sell N568 in Lagos, with some like Petrocam selling at N565, it could be cheaper in Mushin due to closeness to Apapa port.

Bros, your maths isn't mathing.. You further confuse the confusion by mixing up miles and kilometres.. They are not the same.. 1 mile= 1.6km.

Using your example, a person driving a 25mpg vehicle will be covering 6.25 miles per litre of fuel.. That means he will spend 4 litres worth of fuel every 25 miles..at 617 naira per litre, that's 2,468 naira.. That's even assuming a gallon is exactly 4 litres which it isn't... I think it's closer to five litres than it is to four.

On the other hand, using the same 4-litre and 617 naira per litre scenario, someone driving a 19mpg vehicle will be covering 4.75 miles per litre... Which means he will need 5.2 litres to cover the same 25 miles... 617 ×5=3085 naira...approximate that to 3200 to account for the price of the extra .2 litres...

3200-2468= 732 naira.. That's the extra expense every 25 miles accruing to the dude driving a 19mpg vehicle..

With your 100km per week scenario, which is 62.5 miles (100÷1.6), person driving a 25mpg vehicle will need 10 litres of fuel to cover 100km/62.5 miles.. 617 ×10= 6,170 naira.

While a person driving a 19mpg vehicle will need 13.15 litres to cover the same 100km/62.5 miles.. 617 ×13=8, 021 naira...Round that up to 8,200 naira to account for the extra .15 litres.

8200-6170 =2030

That's a 2,030 naira difference for every 100km per week according to your scenario ...and 10, 120 for five weeks, assuming the same 100km is covered every week.

That extra 10k naira expense is substantial enough to ginger an average person into trying to tune up his vehicle to get more mpg.

Kewtt:
19 mpg combined poor in this economy

sammyscholar:
I bro, I noticed my Toyota Matrix is consuming more fuel than usual. 25 KM consuming as much as 2.5Litres of fuel

adeotiabdulaziz:
You seem to embrace hypocrisy as your middle name, as you supported a certified election rigger appointed as vice president in the previous election. Many like you are quick to criticize the government, even when it takes the right actions. Let me advise you, Tinubu will rule for 8 years and even appoint someone he favors. If you persist in this manner, the pain and bitterness could become overwhelming for you.

Felicity001:
You guys say these things as if you bought a brand new car.
For a 2005 corolla that has been in used for say 18yrs efficiency will drop by some percentage.
5k fuel now is approximately 8ltrs.
You won't compare the quality of fuel we get here in Nigeria with Western world.
Some stations even adjust their meters we all know this.
Modern cars have a reading so you can tell if truly what you bought is relative because you're not inside the tank of a Corolla to know exactly how many ltrs was pumped into the tank.

But the question the guy is asking is how much fuel is ideal or enough to gross 40/45k these days.

Mind you, you've to do pickups, drive to hub areas to get fantastic trips again.

Anyone arguing bolt pays better than indriver is obviously living in the past.

How much fuel is relative to gross 40/45k now using a Kia Rio or a Corolla that's the question the guy is asking

BlueRayDick:
Let’s wait to see how this pan out.

Tinubu government don favor Sani Danladi
