Driving from Abuja to Lagos takes over 10 hours and costs around 4k. Flights from lagos to abuja takes roughly 1 hour and costs around 33k in an economy class.

I am conducting a study that will plausibly make air travel more affordable to the common Nigerian and I want to know if you are more likely to fly from lagos to abuja if the fare is reduced from 33k to 15k. If not, please let me know at what price you will most likely fly from abuja to lagos or lagos to abuja.

The Musical genius Fela Kuti gave his life up for Nigerian's to recieve sense, but Nigerian's still insist on the same people that finished this country. Immediatly after his death in 1997, it took Nigerian's only 2 years to start the fourth republic democrazy with an already correctly lableled International Thief Thief (ITT). I sorry for Nigeria again. Now that they have seen Bubu fit, lets see who runs faster when they hear CHANGE in 2019.

I have a corolla 08 manual and its gat the fuel liter/kilometer meter.
whenever I change gear at 2000rpm it consumes more than when I shift at 3000rpm.
reason being that its more stress on the engine.
all cars ain't same bro.
cos my Honda v6 does exactly the reverse.

. Like i earlier mentioned the practice may work for some and may not for others. I actually thought yours should do better, being a 2008 corolla with a multipoint fuel injection. Mine is actually a 1992 vento single point fuel injection. I guess German 1992 1.8 litre engines produce more torque than thier Japanese counterparts 2008 1.8 litre engines. Stick to what works for you though.

Thank you Ricmayak1 and 9icetoo. You guys are sure doing your pockets a lot of good.

Thank you Ikenna and Gazzuzz.

Its what I do and it works for me. I do it on a 1.8 litre 1992 vento gl, and the third point works for me. At 40km/h the rev counter reads 1000 rpm and this is without lugging the engine. At 60km/h in 5th, just step on it and off it goes. Just my experiment though. A trial won't hurt, just discontinue if your engine struggles at those figures Thanks anyway @ Ikenna.

I feel bad when see people waste fuel in the name of I know to drive a stick. Many who drive manual trasmissions do so traditionally for almost every given situation, without realising the versatility of the stick shift. Taking advantage of its versatility can give good or fair gas mileage. Here are some fuel saving tips:
1. Low revving on starting off: Its very common to see people rev to 2000 rpm of more just to get going. Modern enegines produce enough torque to get you going, with just gently letting off the clutch. Ever noticed how automatics begin rolling without revving, same goes for the stick.
2. Early gear shifts: It is not tradition that one must rev to 3000 rpm before changing gears. Just revving to 2000 rpm gives moderate acceleration without lugging the engine. I advise advise shifting up 4rm any gear on reaching 2000 rpm or just under.
3. Block shifting: In other words skipping gears. On 5 speed manual transmissions, it is safe to skip fourth gear and cruise on fifth at around 50 to 60km/h. Over all, fifth gear works just fine from 60 km/h upwards with good throttle response. Just for those who do it wrongly. Thanks.

[b]It is called Uniformed speed.

A body at rest inside a body in motion moves at uniformed speed with the body in motion and so it appears to be at rest because the uniformed speed of the body at rest (inside the body in motion) cancels the speed of the body in motion.

Like when you are in a moving bus, you are a body at rest but the bus is a body in motion.

Inside the bus you are at rest but moves at uniformed speed with the bus so to you, you are seating one place in the bus but as a matter of fact you are in motion due to the effect of the motion of the bus which you are inside, without looking out of the window everything inside the bus appears to be at rest to you even the floor of the bus of which you stand appear to be still while the bus is moving.

The only time you will notice a drastic change to your own perception of your motion is if the bus grounds to a sudden halt.

So the sole reason why the earth appear not to be moving to you is because you are at uniformed speed with it, you are inside it so you are moving with it.. 465.1m/s[size=20]/[/size]465.1m/s you can only notice this speed if the earth grounds to a sudden halt.

It's a joy ride bro, try to enjoy it like i am

i know all that. My question is, is a plane that hat has left the solid earth still on the solid spinning earth? I reckon not. How can a plane fly above a spinning earth and find its destination, or does the earth spin around with its atmosphere. This will mean a headwind, cross or constant tail wind on the plane. From experience i know that wind direction changes and does not move in the direction of the so called earths rotation.

If the earth spins at 465.1 m/s or 1675 km/h at the equator, take a plane into the air for 1 hour and tell me where your destination airport will be found? Or perhaps your takeoff runway should vanish beneath you, since its doing about 465.1m/s.

If the earth spins at 1675 km/h at the equator, take a plane into the air for 1 hour and tell me where your destination airport will be found?

Quite a lot of sense you made. Thanks for you comment.

Am kinda skeptical about this, any one believes it works?

Wrong comparison! Thats a 2011 Audi A8 vs 2013 S class. It should be the (fully redesigned) 2015 A8 vs 2013 S class. I love you Audi but MB loves me more. 2009 CLS63 amg w219 hmmmmmm. I no fit tlk.

Am not a fan of Highlife music, but there is just one i love so much. I don't know the name of the song, but there is a part of it that says (the god of music dey help musicians to send their message to people, oh yes na true). Any one knows the name or has a copy?

The 2000 model gets a redesigned grille, clear (white) rear indicator with the 1999 having orange rear indicators ''trafficators''. Overall it looks better than the pre-facelifted one.

Bokoharam the true believers and followers of allah have begun to kill other muslims who condemn thier acts. . I guess bokoharam alone cannot islamise nigeria so fellow muslims must be terrorised into coming along.

The c class especially the c230 sport is a beautiful car. I don't know how problematic it may be, but i feel only a 2010 camry stands a chance with the merc.

Hello MB lovers. Been a japanese car fan but was recently introduced to d Benz family by a friend. I need ur advice on an MB c200 kompressor 2005 model. He recommended dis over a 2007 camry that I was planning to buy. I need ur advice. Am pre-ordering from Germany

Last time it happened to me, a faulty temperature sensor was the culprit.

The excess calories in beer causes it. Excess sugar is stored in the body as fat, and beer has alot of it.

I'd rather drive a 2009 mercedes benz cls 63 amg than drive a brand new 2020 toyota camry or any other toy for that matter.

Like i used to say, the goddamn god died of malaria long time ago. Do not be deceived by the marvels nature brings. Just feel the present, it obvious he is dead even if he existed.

Afeez20 The ball joint is a movable part on the arm that controls steering of the wheels. It comes off very easily on most honda cars, leaving a wheels direction for chance to decide rather than you. Luckily it comes off at slow speeds. But its still dangerous. Sorry for my late reply by the way.

afeez20:
hello mcdonelldouglas.pls what is ball joint and where is it located?
how should i monitor it and what signss should i be looking out for?
is the ball joint easier and cheaper to fix?

Mess with your cooling system at your own risk. Nigerians that know better than the white man himself. Siena kindly set him straight.

Even there was a god, he died of malaria long time ago, therefore there is no god.

very very close. Jan 23
still waiting

Hy there, i finally found my match. Kindly flash me on 08102247033 if u don't mind.

Go for the babyboy if you can live with a manual transmission and frequent monitoring of your ball joints. Honda auto trannys are rubish.

Am sorry (awoken lion) mr abatically for disturbing you. I did not say anywhere that cars should be made perfect. Every car i know of has known problems, and they just tend to be the small stuff. E.g hondas ball joints coming off. Many things can go wrong in a car but for a company that can make a full fledged family car, that should be the least of things to go wrong because i have experienced it twice and seen countless more. Just like everyone you are are entitled to your opinion, and thanks for lashing it out. The english matter no be insult, you just did not understand where i was coming from. Sorry once again. Bye bye.

E be like say english dey hard you to grab. With the precision and accuracy of mathematics and engineering, margins for error should be little. These errors occur on the simplest of components that can easily be perfected.

Why do these car manufacturers mess up the least of things to be messed up. For example they come up with a design that wins your heart as your dream car, then next your hear this model burns oil, cooling system issues, suspension problems and electrical just to mention a few. They just tend to screw up the least of things that should be screwed.
