demola2100:How did you calculate the mpeg? Also ensure your fuel isn't leaking out |

demola2100:Ha... This is definitely a fuel leak.. Fuel tank and rails need to be extensively checked for leaks |

Scan, scan scan, if u are in Abuja i can help u carry out a free scan. Most likely an oxygen sensor or a too rich system. Just scan |

Thanks so much, i have tried scanning but the quark that did the scan didn't see anything, He only advised to change the airflow which i did but still get the same result, only saves a liter compared to the previous airflow senator2k9: |

demola2100:Sometimes leaks won't be noticeable when the car is stationed, leaks may occur when the car is working or on the move. Start your car for a minute and trace your fuel pump lines, from underneath your car seat to the engine bay. |

demola2100:Is there check engine light on your dash board? |
| Re: Pls Help, I Use 8 Liters Within 10km by demola2100(op): 10:30pm On Dec 29, 2022 |
Dozieson:Yes there is |

demola2100:See oga, dont beat your self over this, and dont let kazeems (mechanics) open atm ontop your head. First of all, know that the petrol being imported into nigeria is not of premium grade. Many stations sells very poor grade fuel that burns very fast. So know this and know peace. Secondly, if you say you have scanned and there is nothing wrong with your car, then change your driving pattern. If you are a heavy footer that loves to go fast, then reduce it. Best way to maintain a good MPG is to keep eyes on your rev meter. You can start by ensuring you dont go above 2000rpm. Try this and notice the difference. But if you want to go fast & quick, den be ready to pay the price. 4 Likes |
