Home to office is not actually far. Highest 15 to 20mins drive devoid of traffic
It is only during the weekends I take it out to farther distance. If ur in lagos u should know from ojo to ikoyi and vgc is quite some distance. I have done that during weekends.
I Don leave it to idle a lot.
I maintain between 60 to 80 on highways. I believe that's good enough.

9icetoo:

60 to 80 on the highway is not the sweet spot for fuel economy on most cars.

80 to 100 is.

Your daily drive is good since it's devoid of traffic and it's short.


Have a look at your brakes. They may be binding. Inflate your tyres properly to 36psi at least.
Check your alignment both front and rear.

If this continues, you may want to check if your cat is plugged up.

Good day Gazzuzz and other senior guys here.
I use an acura tsx 2008 model
I need help. Seems my car is guzzling fuel.
I scanned it sometime in June and it showed my my 02 sensor was bad with code P0135. I bought another 02 sensor and changed it. Cleared the error code and since then whenever I scan with my Bluetooth scanner, that error code does not show
But on the vehicle instrument cluster, I have been monitoring the average fuel usage for my trips
I see high figures of between 27 to 30 L/100km.That got me alarmed.
I went to a mech and asked him to scan my car and I got the code P1157 . Infact the guy said this ur car go dey drink fuel oo
I am confused guys.
Yesterday I proceeded to change my plugs and also clean my engine air filter. Still the trip computer is showing me 30 L/100km as instant average fuel usage.
Make una help me.

GAZZUZZ:


You have another bad O2 sensor

good day oga Gazzuzz and other car guru in the house, pls I need your help. I bought this 2006 model corolla in April this year ( the car was 2- years used in Nigeria before I bought it ), i serviced the engine with Mobil 5w- 30 ( 4litres ) in may this year and as at 30th of July the oil has reduced to minimum mark on the dip stick, though the oil is still very clean. I am in Abeokuta, and mainly using the car from home to work and to take my children to and from school, all within the same area. I only travel to and fro of shagamu once during the period in review. pls sir, what can I do? the car moves well and did not smoke. but the rate at which the oil reduced gives me concern. pls help

GAZZUZZ:


The car was using mineral oil for 2years. Kindly switch back to what the engine was used to.

20w50 drain every 2000miles

Good evening Gurus in the house. I scanned my car Corolla 2009 and got the following codes.

P0128
P0138

Any idea how to explain to mechanic to fix it and the possible cost of the sensor?

GAZZUZZ:


No Thermostat in the housing .

But the 2nd code is usually associated with catalyst theft it's a disconnected or damaged rear O2 sensor under the car.


Meanwhile if you have a mechanic that cannot understand these basic codes wahala de sha.

The last person who worked on your car, stole all your catalysts. Good luck and Godspeed.

james007:


Found out the catalyst is there, no sign of tampering, what's another likely cause of the code.
