It's just 6L, I bought 1350 per liter at the filling station.

I don't think the vehicle gulp fuel then

That 6L was probably 5. something litres due to the fact that these filling station dnt dispense real volume for each litre

Going by 6L then it means your vehicle does 5km - 6km per litre then I dont think its gulp fuel then n


I will advise you use keg to buy fuel next to check if the dispense was accurate and not accuse your vehicle wrongly.

Buy just 5 litres inside a 5litres keg and see if it correct

Boss, please could a bad exhaust sensor cause excessive fuel consumption?

YES....
my guy if u can afford nice cars back to back, u should be able to use data for research and also google is free

After my never ending fuel gulping battle with my Toyota Camry, I later ended up buying a 2012 Toyota Corolla.

I went with my mechanic to a car stand to get it, when we got there we saw different kinds/types of corolla. My mechanic told me some are 1.8l engine while others are 2.0l and a lot of the corolla uses venza engine.

I wanted to buy any of the corolla of 1.8L engine but my mechanic told me that they're old model, that I should get a recent corolla with Venza engine, but I refused when I heard the word "venza engine"

I told my mechanic that over my dead body will I jump from frying pan to fire, from Camry to Venza. I said so because since the corolla is using Venza engine, it'd surely gulp up fuel like Venza, which would be a lot worst than a camry.

But my mechanic assured me that what I said is very false, that it won't. That a corolla is a corolla and corollas doesn't eat fuel.

His words really calmed me down and I bought the 2012 corolla.

So I bought 8k fuel to test the fuel usage and see how long it'd last, I know I should have bought more, but I needed to get a faster result.

Well, it turns out that my mechanic tricked me and I'm in so much pains right now, my 8k fuel only went for 31km before the fuel got exhausted, I later realized that I was very much right and shouldn't have listened to my mechanic that a corolla is a corolla, venza engine or small 1.8L engine.

From my observation, it seems the 2012 corolla is gulping up fuel like a venza. Yesterday, I took it to a mechanic and asked them to fix anything that'd make the car to gulp up fuel, they changed the plugs, cleaned the filter, I will be testing it today with another 8k fuel, I pray and I hope that it won't be as bad as it was yesterday, because I'm so depressed right now, after what my camry did to me which made me went for a corolla, now I'm having same issue with my corolla. I'm really so down right now.

Have you check the Catalyst? that maybe the problem cuz some of these car dealers u can't trust them on Catalyst ooo.

What you're talking about is a corolla(xrs) with camry engine. Not venza

Nicepoker:
if its actually a 2.0l engine fuel consumption should be 8-9 liters/100km. That's why I say that engine could be 2.5l

Are you kidding me? 8-9 liters/100km.. Haba!

If You Want To Buy Motor, Go To BENIN City In Edo State And Thank MR BLOGGER much later.

Better Sell Off, that Corolla Car Now And Get Better Corolla Car That has Catalyst Inside, It helps To save fuel consumption in Corolla Car

My fuel guage isn't working too

I bought 33k fuel this morning but it's still on reserve.


The scanner man could not correct the error, he said that we have to change something, I have forgotten the name, he said it's 80-100k to change it.

Ogbeni, check and be sure the thermostat is intact. Also scoop the tailpipe with your finger and see if you have soot..

Impossible.
Only highlander and venza can share engine.
Plus maybe hilux and fortuner.
No corolla will be able to use a venza engine.

Bro and his mechanic doesn't know about cars
I know venza uses 2.5 2.7L engines on the 4 cylinders and a 3.5L on the V6, and a 2012 Toyota corrola has a 1.8L L4 engine.
So I don't know where he pulled out his whole write up from.

Even the rare XRS version uses a 2.4l block which is used on the camry, not venza.

Corolla also uses 2.4 L for the xrs trim

Nonexisting1:
Venza is V6 and should be 3.5 engine, not 2.0. I'm not sure there is venza with 4 cylinder and even if there is, it should be around 2.5 engine.

Venza comes with v6 and 4 cylinder.

BlindAngel:
Let's of corolla are using venza engine, 100%,
I saw them.

First, you should understand that every engine is identified by model number. Not street Mechanic slangs like Venza Engine. Use your car VIN to get detail of your car including engine model and trim online. That will also tell you if the engine has been swapped out, by crosschecking the physical engine.

2. Stop getting mechanics to fiddle with your car, yo will end up with badly tuned car.

3. Nothing wrong with your bank 1(front) and bank 2 (back) oxygen sensors. If your catalyst is missing, engine ECU or computer will be seeing it as faulty bank 2 oxygen sensor. This affects how much fuel your injector sprays into the engine. Infact, most mechanics will even cut the wires to bank 2 oxygen sensors once the catalyst is removed, leaving you ECU running in default setting.


There are several tables or guides stored in your ECU computer which tells it how much fuel to use based on reports from rear O2 sensor. Whenever it is not seeing sensible report from this sensor it assumes something is wrong and uses a default table which will run the engine in an inefficient fuel rich mode, but with enough power such that you may assume nothing is wrong. It's like operating your car with carburettors, and loosing the efficency brought by computer controlled injectors. The only way to fix this problem is to replace your catalyst. If you can't, drive the car as it is because the only other way is to re-programmed the ecu with your own tables which will not be efficient and cost way more than a catalyst. Note- that your scanner guy cannot reprogrammed ECUs. Yankee peeps who do sell them as costly custome ECUs on ebay. And it will still require a catalyst.

So go buy a replacement catalyst. No modern car using computer controlled injection and ignition can run fuel efficiently without catalyst, it is just impossible.
To scan your car yourself, buy a Bluetooth ELM 327 OBD2 scanner, download the app on your smart phone and scan your car. Some guy based in a plaza in Ikeja Ogba sells it on Jiji.

Corolla also uses 2.4 L for the xrs trim

Yea I already modified that in. I didn't add that initially because that's the rare version and it's the camry engine not the venza.
Venza uses 2.5, 2.7 and 3.5.

Even that 2.4 xrs trim na one chance engine if that engine give you issue you go drive the motor enter bush

Corolla with venza engine. You’re telling me that a venza engine rides on 2.0 litre engine?

I am also laughing hard here.....what does he even mean by Toyota with venza engine? And depending where he is 8k is about 8 liters in Lagos and even for a V6 engine he should still be able to get about 7 km AVG per ltr,hwy and cty combined.

When he is done unlearning that rubbish thought that his corolla has a venza engine,he should check the oxygen sensors on that car.

hisgrace090:
An 8k fuel which around 6 and half litre for 31 km ride was too much for now unless you tested it during buhari regim.

In addition, one of the greatest criminals in Nigeria and gas station owners. They temper with their measuring machine and sell half litre for one litre. It is possible you got 4 litres for the money you paid.

psalmson001:
You and your mechanic are basking innignorance, but let me educate you a bit.

For the year in question (2012), there is nothing like a corolla using venza engine. The 1st gen venza only had two engine trims which are the 2.7ltr i4 and the 3.5ltr v6, and no corolla to the best of my knowledge uses that 2.7ltr i4 engine. Only the hilux, highlander, sienna, hiace, some prados have this 2.7ltr engine (which are also different).

The 2nd gen venza comes with a 2.0ltr i4 engine, however that engine became available from 2018.

So stop arguing that your 2012 corolla has a venza engine.

Do your research well else your kazeem go run you down.

Lastly, how you go dey buy 8k fuel to test mpg? Fill up your tank and compare how long it last with your previous vehicle. And hope say you no be one of those people wey believe say ac dey chop fuel sha?

Don't mind the op,he doesn't know what he is saying,however the only sienna that uses the 2.7ltr engine is the 2000 model sienna with 1MZ engine and the venza wasn't even around then.....it's the 2003 model upwards that comes with 3MZ and 2GR variants,the 2GR is same with the venza 3.5ltr V6 and it's standard.....no sienna after 2003 had 2.7 ltr engine.

Corrolla and Venza don’t share the same Engine . The four plug venza shares same engine with some other Toyota product in which Corrolla is not among the cars.. Toyama cars like Camry 2010 to 2011, and Rav 4 2010 shares same engine with the venza ( 4 pug) .
On the other hand the 6 cylinder version of the Benz’s shares similar engine with other 6 cylinder engine of other Toyota products like , highlander from 08, Camry from 07 , Lexus 350, Rav 4, etc

What is the meaning of Corolla with Venza engine? Does it mean the engine of the car was swapped? If yes, then what are we talking about?
Oyinbo people go manufacture something according to careful specifications but we Nigerians with our anyhow sense will modify it. Of course, it will never be as originally specified.

Funny enough, it's really crazy now, if your pocket is not very deep to accommodate the high cost of fuel.
You buy 10,000 fuel now and your car will still be flashing low fuel lights. You just feel sad, a lot of times now I just park car for house, calculate cost of using public transport to know which is more cost saving and end up going with public transport a lot of times. I can go out 3days without my motor. Me wey dey carry motor go next street to buy bread before.

You are wrong here. Toyota Sienna 1998-2000 had old 1MZ V6 3.0L engine without dual VVTi as is found in 1998-2001 Lexus ES300, 1997-2001 Toyota Camry V6. Then 2001-2003 Sienna/2000-2004 Avalon/2001-2003 Highlander/2002-2003 Lexus ES300 has new 1MZ-FE 3.0L V6 engines with dual VVTi.

Then Toyota Sienna from 2011 has some variants with 2.7L I4 engine. Then 2004-2006 Toyota Sienna has 3MZ-FE with 3.3L V6 engines as with Lexus ES330, RX330 and 2004-2007 Toyota Highlander. 2007 and above Toyota Sienna V6 models have 2GR-FE Engines.
