2008 Honda Accord, catalyst intact and no check engine light or any light on the dashboard. 18mpg city. I've done everything to improve the mpg which is supposed to be 21mpg according to the manual but no changes.

What engine oil do you use?

Re: Mpg Challenge Nigeria by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:12am On Jun 14, 2023


Spent 5hrs idle with the AC on yesterday while fixing the

windshield
Tint
Headlamps
Wipers

And a couple of accessories. It really messed up my mileage as the vehicle was not moving.

But we still move .

190miles (305km) covered and still counting

City driving is in grades. City driving in Lagos for example, can't be compared to city driving in Abuja. Inclines, time spent in traffic are all factors that affect city mpg.

Do you know what the highway mpg is? That may be a better measure to go by.

Finally, our fuel here isn't great, after you've done all the tune ups you can, the quality of our petrol is the final enemy.

grin This is why I haven't entered the challenge. Was already tracking a refill before you posted. I was gunning for 400miles (2017 Accord) before the fuel low warning light. However, I had an unforseen cargo haul for around 30miles at speed and this has thrown off my plan. Also I entered one horrible unusual traffic yesterday angry. Will have to plan for next refill.

Low fuel warning light finally came on at 378miles (606km). angry The above 2 things I believe got in the way.

Vehicle stats:
Car: 2017 Accord EX
Engine displacement: 2.4L
Transmission: CVT
Tank capacity: 65L
AC: Always on except cold mornings.

MPG for this run: 28.2 (city/highway)

I'll refuel and track again. Still shooting for 400miles.

I just bought it yesterday, done basic servicing, hoping for the best.

Please can you enlighten me about this vehicle and its hybrid features because I'd be interested.
I was about making enquires into electric bikes recently and investing in solar energy.
We have to adapt.

mixture of both.

I just watched a video and the guy was saying it's bad to fill the reserve tank. He said pouring more fuel after the pump kicks will damage one gas chamber. Na true? I always fill up my tank until it can't take another drop.

The guy is correct. Your practice is very bad. It will damage the EVAP system over time.

You're even quoting 95. I think I recall seeing somewhere that it's 87 octane as what is used in Nigeria. I believe given the Nigeria factor, we probably don't get up to 87 octane
