fineboynl:Very very correct. Even the fuel has a little odour. I think it is low grade leaded fuel. I noticed little black smoke yesterday when the vehicle was left to idle with Ac on for a while. Touching the inside of the exhaust showed black sooth. Ie incomplete combustion, poor fuel economy. Mechanic is meant to remove my throttle mouth first thing tomorrow morning. I will then send my assistant to take it to ladipo, I hear they charge 5k to service it. |

Jeyun:I said it. Leaded fuel. My madam de use v8 and I de use v6. Her working place no to far, ie about 5 kilometers away. Me, for my Waka, I burn atleast 12-15k daily! Tomorrow morning, mechanic de come commot my throttle mouth, take am go ladipo for service, because I notice black sooth for the silencer. Ie incomplete combustion likely due to poor quality petrol. 1 Like |

nedekid:then select the Stations u buy petrol from. Total stations most times sells treated fuel but this particular total station at lasu road after igondo roundabout to iyanoba they don compromise. Petrocam for me Na no no. They dey mix full 30,000 litre form depot with condecent 15,000 original fuel 15,000 condecent fuel making it one truck 30,000 much profit for them now. Na wetin my friend Papa filling station for porthacort road that year for ahuoda East dey do, I buy 190 Benz under 2month after I graduate 2007. money too much for condecent that's why they no go fit stop Modula refinery finish. Just mind the kind of station u refill from. |

theophorus: They are all the same, a distance that use to take 10 liters of PMS now requires 25 liters. It's crazy and I observed this started happening immediately subsidy was pronounced removed |

The cause of this is simple, marketers now buy napthaline from these modular refineries and do a 50/50 or 60/40 mixture with the real imported PMS thereby getting a lighter PMS before selling to customers. This napthaline is highly volatile and burns faster than fuel. The guy above me has said it all. That's the game. |

RoadMozart:not possible. Water can never be used in diluting fuel. I will return repeat, it's not possible |

Was thinking this is just me, bought fuel of 30,000 last Saturday and each time I look at the gauge, is like the thing is just moving downward faster than normal. Someone even suggested that the best time to buy fuel and the filling station is in the morning before sun comes out |

[This is shocking and sad,we are now using our hard earned money to buy adulterated fuel at an exorbitant rate,it's just a matter of time for people 's engines to start giving way.

somehow:Potholes, bumps, traffics, minor hills, anything requiring you to match your brake and rev engine In Nigeria v4 v6 engine hardly goes beyond 5-6km on a liter of fuel forget they told you it can go 10-12km |
Re: The Rate At Which Fuel Burn So Fast Right Now Scares Me by GistFullGround: 9:19pm On Jul 07, 2023 |
NEVER use any car that is 2.5 Liters & above! |
Re: The Rate At Which Fuel Burn So Fast Right Now Scares Me by somehow: 9:30pm On Jul 07, 2023 |
obinna58: Remember that you're not the only one driving on these bad roads. At least 2 people already attested that their vehicles do 12.5km per liter on this thread. Maybe something is wrong somewhere. |

Buy from reliable stations, I only buy from A A RANO, their pumps are correct and the fuel is good. This is not the time to dash fuel stations ur money oooo |

It still burns the same way It's all human psychology due to the unbearable increase in price |
Re: The Rate At Which Fuel Burn So Fast Right Now Scares Me by Harrynight(m): 9:50pm On Jul 07, 2023 |
We should rather talk about the rate at which a liter reduced in quantity |
Re: The Rate At Which Fuel Burn So Fast Right Now Scares Me by IjeBos(m): 9:50pm On Jul 07, 2023 |
Why not just measure the miles/gallon. Fill the tank. Drive it. Calculate how many miles you drove. Refill it and see how many gallons you used to refill it. Divide the miles you drove by the amount it took to refill it. Will tell you how much gasoline you are using. Also to increase mileage, get a tune up (oil, plugs, air and fuel filter), make sure your tires aren't underinflated and keep a constant speed (braking and then having to accelerate burns fuel). |

kernniejay: Must times, we should appreciate others view and not always think we are always correct with our views. Most filling station are adding water to their fuel, same happen to me this Monday, my new car 🚗 that I was driving from Car stand, decided to buy fuel in Ikorodu to enable me drive home. Bros when I got to Custom Headquarters at Ikeja, naxo my car no gree trotto, Bros I fear, make New Motor no go off for road for me ooo, Lagos get the way e take dey oo, them no dey pack for road. Mechanic said it's the fuel, that is mixed with water, decided to buy fuel and also buy fuel cleanser, something like that, that's what that person's meant by saying 4L, boss is that the name? Bros till now the car never fail like that again. I suppose drive go Delta, but bcs of that thing, I gat change mind, make I no go drive reach Shagamu, make e start to worry, that will be a journey I won't forget, Bros I'm in Delta now, went here with Agofure, can't kill myself. But this fuel stations are not doing well. Bros my car dey shrink for my eyes, e cun be like say na the motor dey chop fuel, I don tell my wife say, e be like say na the exhales (stand to be corrected) that is making the car to chop fuel, but I have confirmed it now. Fuel cost and not durable. |
