Don't calculate fuel consumption that way, what you should first find out is what the manufacturer stats says I will use my car as an example my VW phaeton is a W12 engine VW says
highway 12L/100KM
City driving 17L/100km
Combined 15L/100km

I commute from lie to truth everyday which is 100km, I bought fuel of 12,000 naira @600 per litre which is 20L. After my waka the fuel guage rested at same point b4 I bought the fuel. So I used 20L for 100km but there was traffic here and there instead of 17L, but it is close so my car is still efficient because the engine has 312,000km odometer, I also use rubbish 20w50 oil and my tire is now bigger because of bad road

50-55k per week.

Before when you spend 2k-3k daily body go tell you. You go just de vex and complain of v6 and You end up looking for mechanic to service injector and others. But today you spend 10k to 15k on same distance covered it's becoming normal with hardship

I don't believe it. Fuel is N670 per litre. With a factor the litre is not correct.

Now civic has a capacity of 11 gals at 25mpg. Nigeria factors. Bad road, bad fuel bad oil. Considering the age of the vehicle. Even if you get the factory 25mpg. No way 30k fuel will do 350miles

30k fuel will get you about 40 liters.
This will give about 11 gallons of fuel.
and 30mpg at highway miles, it is possible

30k buys 48 litres. Total tank size 50 litres. A litre per 11km. Manual transmission. On empty 550.... 341 miles that's around 27 mpg....which is still not good enough

Cities outside Lagos it is possible

that car is rates 25mpg at 11 gals that about 270 miles city. 30mpg high way. Factory standard.

Places like Lagos he will get less than 20mpg. It's a fat lie. Corrola cannot get that mpg even.

Corolla is inferior in fuel economy compared to the civic
