2010 Lexus GX470...14mpg city.. Slightly more on highway

God wey give me moni buy the moto na im dey give me moni to fuel am..

Considering that I have previously owned a 1997, 2001, 2003, 2007 and a 2010 Honda accord, it took me quite a while to stop being heartbroken and suicidal by the GX's fuel consumption..

But considering my line of work, exuding a reasonable amount of prestige and financial stability is key to success... No one cares if you actually have the financial stability or not.. Just pretend to have it one way or the other grin.. So the GX it must be

But as e be now for my peace of mind, I have stopped participating in fuel Mpg discussions grin... My Mpg now na Insha Allah grin

Lmao.
I can relate bruh.
My Benz v6 c350 exhausts a full tank every week.
I don’t discuss fuel issues with Honda and Toyota owners. There’s no use.
They can never understand.

For me, I drive a benz c230 2006 which uses a v6 engine, after working on my spark plugs, I am getting 20mpg. I had a scan and it showed that the O2 sensors are also bad, I'm planning to change them soon. Hopefully I get a better mpg cos this fuel price no be for here o

Boss, virtually all the scanners will indicate O2 sensor to be bad. Seriously, I don't know the issue is your 02.

I use Camry 2004, the first time I scan my vehicle,it shows that my 02 sensor is bad, then I proceed to replace it and still go for another scan, but to my surprise, it shows again that my 02 sensor is bad.

Most of the things scan will show you are..

02 sensor.
Inject mouth
Throttle adaptive sensor.
Air inflow sensor

I don't believe in any of these scanners.

I have considered that, and also decided that I would rather the fuel keeps getting guzzled and my professional prestige remains intact grin

The pride on my clients' faces when I turn up in the GX for their cases and the happiness with which they pay me and even extra sometimes beats any fuel consumption regrets I might have grin...The car maintains and fuels itself without any stress.

Most Nigerians are very vain people... Do you know what it means for the average Nigerian man to say "I will deal with you... Let me call my..... "... And the said....... turns up in a mint fully tinted air-conditioned fairly recent GX? grin... They will happily sell their ancestral lands to keep you on the retainer, even if you end up doing very little or nothing..

The average Nigerian thinks the professional who appears richer knows far better than the one who doesn't look as rich..And in most cases, they are actually wrong grin.. But who cares grin

I actually love the first gen Ridgeline, sir. It is surprisingly capable offroad and a 2009-2012 model is on the wishlist I shoved up Santa's bvtt for this year. Yeah, it is technologically outdated, but that means less things that can break and despite its being produced in relatively modest numbers, it is one of the most reliable cars out there, as per Consumer Report.

As for the RX, I get what you are saying about it. The RX and the Venza na yahoo boy favorite rides and I hate how dem go take RX 2000-2005 model years and update it to 2020 model years and give the thing outsize grills that almost scrape the pavement.

And for your GX, I am just saying that there are newer SUVs out there that are more fuel efficient than it. An eminent personage like yourself who undoubtedly is on first name basis with Dangote an d can tell Tony Elumelu to sit on his middle finger and sing the Nunc Dimittis could get a late gen SUV that doesn't drink fuel like an alcoholoc with delireum tremens.

As for you being poor, that's the kind of joke I love to hear on Night of a Thousand Laughs, sir. grin


Me wey still dey perspire to aspire and conspire grin

I just believe blending in with the class one aims to be in is key, irrespective of the state of my Aza.

I apologize to all the ladies here for this sexist comment, there is no reason to insult by gender.

We need women's views here, most discussion about cars always end up with some folks measuring their financial/liability d*cks

Apparently the ones with small 1.6l d*cks are happy with the performance, and the ones with big one get into arguments with eunuchs to prove they can walk straight despite all they carry.

The ones with the big engines stimulate the economy, eunuchs are just fluffing until their condition changes
