Sirchiboy:Your car should be able to do 10-13 km per litre of fuel in normal use. Possible Problems: 1. Your Fuel Tank or pipe may be leaking 2. Check your fuel nozzle and fuel pump 3. Scan your Engines for faulty sensors |

Sirchiboy:They don carry your catalyst may be. Any car that does not have weight should not consume fuel. This is the law of thermodynamics and nothing can change that |

easytig:Is the bold applicable to only this model of corolla? When I was using 06 corolla, I ran my fan direct & there was no difference in fuel consumption. |

You need to make sure the fuel system is tuned to operate optimally a good electrician with scanner can detect the fuel consumption using fuel trim. Search YouTube for fuel trim Somebody have mentioned if you removed the thermostat in the car, restore it and make sure the fan is not running Direct The filling Station you buy fuel matters, all filling station does not have the same quality of fuel. If you live within Ajah Lagos, I can give you list of filling stations I have verified by test, that sells the best value fuel that gives high mileage. contact in my SIGNATURE |

Sirchiboy:If a Toyota Corolla 2012 is consuming too much fuel, some likely causes include: 1. Poor Maintenance: Neglecting regular maintenance, such as oil changes, filter replacements, and tune-ups, can lead to decreased fuel efficiency. 1. Aerodynamic Drag: Additional accessories like roof racks, spoilers, or damaged body panels can increase wind resistance, causing the engine to work harder and consume more fuel. 2. Tire Pressure: Underinflated tires can increase rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. 3. Driving Habits: Aggressive driving, rapid acceleration, and braking can lower fuel efficiency. 4. Idling: Prolonged idling can waste fuel and decrease fuel efficiency. 5. Fuel Quality: Using low-quality or incorrect fuel can decrease fuel efficiency. 6. Clogged Air Filter: A clogged air filter can reduce engine performance and increase fuel consumption. 1. Faulty Oxygen Sensor: A malfunctioning oxygen sensor can cause the engine to run rich, leading to increased fuel consumption. 2. Spark Plug Issues: Worn out or fouled spark plugs can reduce engine efficiency and increase fuel consumption. 3. Transmission Problems: Transmission issues, such as slipping or hesitation, can lead to increased fuel consumption. 4. Engine Oil: Using the wrong viscosity or type of engine oil can decrease fuel efficiency. 5. Accessory Load: Additional electrical accessories, such as phone chargers, lights, or audio systems, can increase fuel consumption. 6. Wheel Alignment: Misaligned wheels can increase rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. 7. Engine Mechanical Issues: Problems like low compression, engine knock, or piston ring wear can increase fuel consumption. To address the issue, consider: - Regular maintenance - Driving habit adjustments - Tire pressure checks - Fuel quality verification - Diagnostic tests for potential mechanical issues |

Inspirer1:Talk to a few of your friends with mechanics they use and trust. Tell them to verify each of the problem and check. But first confirm that your expectation is not too high. If your milage meter is working, 1 Gallon of fuel should do at least 40 km. If it doesn't, then you know you have a problem |

Sirchiboy:do a check on Catalyst, air purge, air flow meter, O2 sensor, kind of fuel u buy , oil u put in engine, Brake pad, silencer leakage, loads FreeStuffsNG:I do BMW only, so I scan first before dem lay hands on it.. Toyota is just an over hyped vehicles. |
| Re: This Car Consumes A Lot Of Fuel by Inspirer1: 10:38pm On Nov 07, 2024 |
TenQ:it doesn't at all, I'll have to do as you advised cos the mechanics I'm using seem not to know the solution to it. |

| Re: This Car Consumes A Lot Of Fuel by TenQ: 10:42pm On Nov 07, 2024 |
Inspirer1:First get a car electrician with a scanner to scan for sensor errors. Check for leakage of fuel from the tank to the pipe carrying the fuel to the engine. Change your fuel pump if possible. These usually are the culprit to fuel consumption problems. Shalom |

You damn know about cars. Yes, he should check the engine air filter and while at it check the catalyst if still intact. If not he should buy a good toks or those new china made catalyst . Will serve but wouldn't last, maybe after a year warranty...... barneeferede: |

Sirchiboy:Before concluding wether d car is bad or not try to run a scan and confirm the fuel trim result. You might be having issues with the fuel economy sensors on d engine. Incase u need to run the fuel trim test call autofix garage now... Zero eight one six zero four one zero zero eight five |

TenQ:Thank you. They have scanned it, there was error code on the oxygen sensors (the upper and lower) and two other sensors (which they claim doesn't have effect on fuel consumption). We have changed the oxygen sensors. Although like it was noted earlier in one of the posts above, the thermostat has been removed, I don't know if this can be the cause. I plan to also personally check the air filter in the Mass Airflow box, perhaps it's dirty and need to be changed. |

| Re: This Car Consumes A Lot Of Fuel by TenQ: 11:33pm On Nov 07, 2024 |
Inspirer1:The thermostat shouldn't affect fuel consumption at all. However, you have rightly noted the air filter and mass flow sensor. Don't be tempted to sell the car o! It's should be a minor problem, only that it's not yet determined |
