Your car is fuel hungry. It consumes fuel a lot. The normal range should be 25MPG

25MPG on normal driving conditions which are lacking in this country

maddman:
While fuel efficient they're not good for short trips like city driving. If you're not consistently driving highway forget diesel engines

You are quite right, too much short, city drives on diesel cars have severe negative impact the EGR valve (exhaust gas recirculation valve) and the DPF (diesel particulate filter). A clogged EGR valve or DPF will Set your vehicle into a limp mode.

I will never buy fuel from any other station than, MRS or maybe Heyden again.
I bought fuel from total & Mobil on 2occasions and I regretted it. It's either the attendants are playing "hanky-panky" when selling trying or the fuel never amounts to much.
Eventually I found out the fuel from these other stations burns faster!!!
Alot of stations are scamming Nigerians

Do people still drive in nigeria with fuel at #1200 per litre?.. ..
Tufiakwa.I expected everyone to park their car and do a solid 1 month sit at home.

Hmmmmn it is well brother.

Mother is hospitalized too ..

I'm like her husband now

My 2gr fe v6 , gives me 32-33mpg/ highway and 20-22mpg/ city driving.

Tips: -Ensure your engine is well turned, no check engine lights.

-Be steady on the gas pedal , if you are driving fast, don’t accelerate heavily ,
-Use engine braking, avoid stepping on the brakes suddenly.

-Ensure you do wheel balancing and alignment. You can get about 5-6mpg with proper wheel balance

You know how coastal highway be now. I drove like 100-120km/hr. And this car is balanced on high speed, you wouldn't know you're going that fast

Benz or BMW
Oh my bad na now I see am say na Acura you dey use, that car dey always dey balance and rugged

My KIA Rio 2014 1.6l engine manual transmission uses 1L of petrol per 15-19km (depending on the traffic).
So that's roughly 6.5-7L/100km.
20% higher with AC in Kano heat.
The best I've seen.
Same with my KIA cerato 2011 auto.

Legediz 2026 0.1L V247 engine (0.001L per 100km)

I'm buying a Toyota Avalon 2013 -2015 soon, but to be honest, I am worried about the fuel consumption cos it comes witha 3.6L V6 Engine

My lovely VW polo. 48Mpg. 1.2L TSI. 77km = 4.5L

My Mercedes was doing 11liters per 100 km in optimal condition. C280, 2006 model.

But I have experience 16l/100km driving in town.

If engine condition is bad small I will see 18liters.

I am considering going for a Toyota camry 2010

Honda accord 2013

C300 2010 very soon

Na only newer cars go fit enter this chat group

Toyota Camry 2010 xle

Converted to Liters per 100 kilometers, 16.2 mpg is 14.5Liters/100kilometers.

This your engine na Gbese.

What? My 2010 mdx as heavy and with a bigger engine does 17.4 litres/100 Kms.

Keep in mind that american mpg is different to europe/UK mpg.

Mine does 45-55mpg ~5.4l/100km on motorway
And 30-35mpg ~8.5l/100km.

VW Passat 2.0 TDI. Great engine. Torque na water

I use 2007 Toyota Corolla and it consumes 1 litre of fuel for every 12km within Lagos with AC on.

Many Nigerians don’t know how to drive a car efficiently. Every small gap in the road they accelerate hard only to brake ( rinse repeat) and as such burn more petrol than they need to.

I can drive that car on the same route and get at least 25mpg and arrive at the destination no more than 1 minute later.

How do you people calculate this thing.
Or some persons are using Google?

I get about 12-13 in my Ford Mustang GT 6 speed manual.

Bitter truth!!!
Nigerians only complain but don't take any actions to challenge the government and that's why the government never takes seriously...
Just imagine we have another End Sars protest or maybe 2 more times

It will shock you some cars consumption are less than public transport cost in terms of convenience and daily running. Especially outside Lagos oooo. And If you have mind to add bolt driver app to it, you won't mind even fuel fuel gets to 2k per litter. No be everything dey public knowledge

I don't know why Acura is not appreciated here.
12.7 MPG for over 2.5 ton 2011 Acura MDX

We use the same J37 engine with the Acura TL. Do you drive aggressively or in heavy traffic?

Most cars from 2005 above and lots of European cars have it in the dashboard.

I don't see how you'll drive a 3.7L V6 and get 25mpg with the AC on in Lagos. Maybe in interstate travelling, that can work
