Cokahot:
It works for CEL and fuel ratio.

Good evening,
I don't have a check engine light or diagnostic trouble code

chillex8:
Nothing concern catalyst and fuel consumption.
Most Dana spec kia rio and hyundai accent don't come with catalysts. But they are very fuel efficient.

Same thing I told them but na the win the argument.

Cokahot:
Sure though mine don't have follow come catalyst,so I did an ebay mini catalyst spacer and now at least if I no do top up,latest by Wed thurs,fuel go empty.

Mine doesn't have a catalytic converter,
All the mechanics and panel beaters are putting the excessive fuel consumption on the catalyst

Cokahot:
I bought 18 litres on Thursday,by today its 15l. I go do top up of 3k tmrw. So far its original fuel,not adulterated. Ac on 24/7 with top speed. No catalyst,no level.

How many Kilimotres do you do with 18 or 15 litres?

Mine maximum is 100km for 18litres with AC off and on if I want it to get to 100km

Is it a European model like mine?

NOT GOOD for your engine.
You should never expect near-factory mpg values.

What's your tyre size ?

It's 205/65/16

Tire pressure is 35psi


I can't afford synthetic oil, whats a good substitute?

chillex8:
Bros, I advise you wait till this fuel scarcity is over before you conclude.
The quality of fuel in circulation is questionable.

Even my civic that is a fuel repellant started consuming fuel the moment adulterated fuel entered Naija.
Had to park it down.

What weight of oil are you using?
I have actually confirmed that 5w20 full synthetic gives the R18 civic an edge fuel economy-wise.

I use total quartz 5000

Structuralman:
You should be doing roughly 26mpg or 11km per litre. That's the factory specs. Given the age of the vehicle and wear and tear, there will be some losses but not to 7km per litre.
Use a superior scanner which can also scan the transmission. By the way does the transmission change easily?

Engine is smooth,
No misfires or rough idle.

Transmission is smooth too.

One auto electrician asked me to change my ECU aka brain box, saying it's the problem

Everything is just tiring.

Structuralman:
It's not normal. A number of things could cause the increase fuel consumption. Guess work will only cost you more money so please do a scan. Post the results here.
Or buy a scanner from Jumia and scan the car yourself. It's DIY

My friend owns a scanner,
I made sure I fixed the trouble codes,
I bought and changed
MAF sensor
Air filter
o2 sensors
Engine coolant sensor
And there's no check light anymore.

But the car still guzzles fuel, unlike the reviews and ratings from Honda users.

aieromon:
How did you arrive at this calculation?

Divided the number of km traveled by litres of fuel consumed.


It's even worse during this fuel scarcity,
Half tank of fuel gives me 130km or less depending on where I buy fuel

Good morning, I have the same problem with my Honda Civic European model.
I just bought the car a month ago.

The fuel consumption is with 6-7km/L

No check engine light(replaced all the sensors that were faulty or failed).

Please I need a solution to this excessive fuel consumption problem.
