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.

u have to forget d idea that corolla don't consume fuel... I've driven uber before, for you to test if your car consumes fuel or not, you have to fill the tank.... And check how many days it takes for d fuel fuel guage to drop.....also note dat 8k fuel is like 7 litres now and 7 litres is nothing... Na reserve tank u jst put fuel

Also if you're in d city, maybe Abuja or lag, forget about all dis mechanics, they'll jst eat d hell out of your money.... If you're in Abuja, go to minna to fix your car, if you're in lagos, enter ibadan or ilorin to fix your car.....

10k fuel every week?
What distance do u ride to daily??
I normally buys 15 to 20k fuel every blessed day. There's no day I haven't bought fuel in this life, every single day, I buy fuel.

Ebubu:
Rubbish post
Why always picking on Ebonyi?
Is it a crime to be ambitious?

I'm sure when Enugu airport was built in early 1960s there was massive poverty in Enugu and it was solely used by British expatriates and Politicians but your idiotic father of the Journalist didn't complain like his son is.

Is it a crime to be ambitious?

na jealousy na.... When Akpabio was building stadium, alot people abused him.... Now it's home to d super eagles... And d best stadium in Nigeria.... Jst imagine if Akpabio built a brewery instead of stadium

arantess:

he was a coup plotter too that enabled buhari

he enabled babangida not buhari.... Sha babangida enabled buhari... So u might be right but he played a major role in buhari's removal as head of state....

I won't say much... But fear isreal.... D smart ones surrounding them... No find trouble and they are peaceful.... Even Egypt no chook mouth for their matter again.... U see say d new Iranian president no talk anyhow like d old one wey die for helicopter crash

Felabrity:
Sha no travel interstate make you no go hang for forest

Theoarhics:


Yes... But you no get

because say your state no get despite all d bragging no mean say my state no get na....

Theoarhics:



Your state get? Before you start claiming a state you are not from because you live there. I guess you have never been to your own state since you were born.

why u come dey vex na... Simple question... Ur state get skyscraper?

Theoarhics:


I'm from the region where we no dey carry last. Your traditional fathers' father. The origin of Oba , the ppl that name Eko and Oduduwa. The only region that was never conquered, the only region in the Nigeria that has one of the wonders of the world

ur state get any skyscrapers?

eldoradoxx:

They told you that importation of petrol causes a major pressure on our forex and that there is need for it stop so that the Naira can regain some strength. Now we have local refining capacity but suddenly, there is need for further importation. Something chronic is wrong with Nigeria and Nigerians

person wey dem suppose tear slap

Antoeni:
This is Cool, Allowing only Dangote to supply petroleum products will amount to monopoly which is even more dangerous. Opening the market for others to import will bring about the needed competition and price war that will benefit the masses.

I disagree sir.... If we have a refinery that can serve d entire Nigeria.... It is foolishness to keep importing fuel... If you don't want dangote's monopoly then more people should build refineries in Nigeria.... We have d raw product available here.... Na why our currency no gree go up bdat

Theoarhics:


God forbid we have someone like Soyinka we for don stone am... We no dey get elder wey no dey respect himself. We have ppl that have positively contributed to the advancement of the country more practically than this white old fowl

which region you come from... Hope no be d region wey no dey comut on Monday? Hope no be d region wey one small boy dey control everybody from Facebook?

Nice.... How how much.... Looks like tesla

Theoarhics:
Soyinka has left the group. Look at the man in his 90s making himself useful to his people practically even at his age. The other one na to talk nonsense and push a tribal and bias agenda... Even if you no get money like this man still dey respect yourself

wetin concern Soyinka with dis news now? As una no get person like Soyinka for una Region na to dey cry everyday.... If you can't have sex with your wife na Soyinka cause am

Candidlady:
Someone donated 50m

Another donated 1.5b

Levels dey.... Ino kuku mention name

Offpoint1:

We played street football daily and they lasted more than 2 hours every evening, all for fun... These guys get paid millions to play 2 games in a week. They should shut the f up and play

baba street football no be d same as competitive football oh.... Alot of things to consider, wideness of d pitch or field na one factor.... Y'all are jst hammering on money, top boxers fight like Anthony Joshua fight once per year and take home like 50 million dollars.... One fight oh.... Shey una no dey even consider d occupational hazard wey dey involved, like injuries, eriksen of Manchester United even died on d pitch before he was revived....
