Ha. Reserve tank is usually 10 liters in many cars with a 50 liters tank.

No way 10 liters takes you 150km.

Abeg, pity some of us that only get 200 miles with 40 liters on corolla.

😊😊😊
Senior man, your car should be doing minimum of 10L/100km, your mpg is bad for a Corolla. My car is stick shift, so i shift faster, i get 130 to 150 liters on 10L depending on my driving pattern.

Did you actually stop when the fuel nozzle clicked? At this rate, car will get to 800km.

Those days, before I got delivered, if I fill up my EoD to the brim, I would drive 80 plus miles (128km) before the fuel gauge would start moving....
I don't think i will get upto 800km, the fuel gauge drop faster at half mark. I did not fill to the brim, i bought 50 liters and it didn't fill up the tank, courtesy of tempered meter.

Thanks for the info, try to shift faster and get to 5th gear before 50km/hr, you save more fuel.

The truth is i noticed most cars on the platform are fuel guzzlers, some have their fan bypassed. It is time for drivers to tune up their cars. Change your spark plugs, air filter, scan your car and fix the error codes if your cel light is on. I help a guy to scan his car yesterday and we noticed his mechanic removed his oxygen sensors. There is no way you will make profit in these hustle if your car is a fuel guzzler. My car average 600km to 650km on full tank, so what i earn depends on the kind of trip that i make. Peace.

Good evening guys.....I noticed that my honda civic 2008 model when I tend to accelerate to 50mph there is always a kind of friction sound like voooommmmm and the noise increases with increase in miles but reduces and become silent at 40miles....my mechanic said is cup bearing at the drivers left tire I changed it yesterday but when I drove it yesterday I still heard same sound .
Check the other leg if is the culprit, also check the back hub. If all check good, check your engine seat.

My personal opinion, I would not advice you to buy a 2014 car, if the sole reason is for this hustle.
Go ahead buy something smaller not more than 07-08
Bro, how far na, how is the fuel consumption of your car, what is your mpg like? Thanks.

Bro is either you use Honda dw1 or total mvlv and both oil are not cheap. Any other oil in that transmission is not guaranteed, remember gearbox is expensive now, don't be penny wise pound foolish.

I'm putting it to you that before the hike, 2k fuel which was about 10litres will not take you to ajah from Maryland to & fro

2500 will but not 2k,
2500 was 13.5litres and I said corolla consumes 1litre/6km so meaning Maryland to ajah under bridge to and fro will give us 90km in total.
90km divided by 6km will give us 15 which means you will be needing at least 15litres of fuel to cover 90km distance. Not accurate but roughly 13.5litres of fuel will take you to and fro and this is without traffic...




This should proof my point, how much will 2k fuel gross you on bolt without surge, you will say 10k max and this is without surge, how much will bolt charge you from Maryland to ajah, that will be 7k minimum right, so going by your assertion, you said 2k will take you to ajah from Maryland to and fro, so are you saying 2k will gross you minimum of 14k without surge


Pls state your point with figures when you want to counter my claim
You need to go and check your car, i average 100 to 120km per litre on my Honda Civic though the car is manual, i always resest my trip meter anytime i buy fuel so i know what I am saying. I will advise you to read up on gazzuz thread on how to improve your fuel consumption. Going by your analysis, your car averages 60km for 10liters, which is very poor.

Honda City uses a cvt transmission. Dw1 is only for Honda automatic transmissions
2009 Honda City uses traditional automatic transmission not cvt, make your research.

Please which is the right spec for Total/Mobil oil based on the user's manual?

And is Honda City 09 Automatic suitable for Uber?

Thanks.
What type of oil is the previous owner using.? The car is suitable for e hailing, just make sure you use the original Honda dw1 whenever you want to service the transmission.

Why not go to filling stations and buy popular oil there, eg Mobil or total. Fake oil full everywhere and engine is very costly now.

Good evening Engineers and Bosses.

My Honda city 2006 model have been battling with Nozzle, Fuel Pump and plugs issues due to hard starting issues since last month.

The car have been experiencing Hard starting lately and when mechanics check, they say it's the plugs that it's overfloating and the nozzle isn't good.

So I was told to replace the fuel pump and nozzle, I had already replaced the Plugs 28th February this year, So I replaced the fuel pump twice within a week, the first one worked for 3 days and then I got another one both are V8 fuel pumps though the car is V4 cylinder ( which was the last type of fuel pump I used and it lasted 6months before I had this issue, though not the exact brand of the V8 pump).

But just less than 3 weeks I am experiencing the same hard starting again and it started when I didn't start the car for between 18 -20hours of no usage last week.

I had bought Original GPower Plugs at ₦7,000 for the 4 pieces, this February, but now the Hard Starting seems worse than the 3 times I experienced it last month after I took it to a mechanic yesterday. The plugs and nozzles were cleaned yet the car isn't firing well even when it starts, it takes time to cold run smoothly.

Please what can be done to remedy the issues. I have used the same car for over 18 months with no single record of hard starting before now though was using a 4 cylinder fuel pump initially before switching to a V8 fuel pump after the last 4 cylinder fuel pump had issues and I was advertised by Rewires that V8 will be better for the car and correct some of the issues I was having when I start the car in the mornings and when I am climbing the hilly bad road to my house slowly on my way back home.
Get your car scanned, but i will suggest you change the complete fuel pump assy.

I need help with my 2008 Accord.

Two days back, I noticed my temperature needle was shooting waay above the middle when I turn on my AC.

I parked and checked and realised one of my radiator fan stopped working. Got a roadside rewire who checked and saw that my relay was burnt.

I payed and he got a new one and finished fixing at night. Fan worked and I drove off. A couple of minutes later, I realised my AC was no longer cooling as it used to at minimum level. I have to increase it to the highest before I feel any coolness.

Also, the car felt hard to drive. Like I was forcing it to move. I have to floor the accelerator before it picks. Then at a point, I was in traffic and it was vibrating hard and the car went off.

Tried starting and it kicked but didn't start. Had to pump the accelerator and kept on trying before it started. I turned off the AC and the car went back to its perfect normal way.

Please help. What's the problem?
Check and see if he connects the fan well, your fan is meant to work anti clock not clock wise. Get a nylon and place it on the condenser front when the fan is on and see if the nylon sticks. If it sticks, the fan is not your problem, if it doesn't, get a rewire to revert it back.
