Know everything about your car before you build house in the village for Kazeem.

Your odometer is calibrated in miles. 35 Litres is approximately 9.2 US gallons. Your Matrix covered 153 miles with 9.2 gallons of fuel.

Fuel economy is 16.6MPG.

Oga mi! Ur odometer is in miles. Converting the 153kms to Miles is about 244kms which is close to the less than 250km I quoted. I don't think anything is wrong with your car bro. Check your Tyre pressure to the permissible psi, be light on the trottle, use the recommended 5w30 oil and watch your MPG gbera. Finally you can use more than 20litres on a bad day from Lotto to Ikotun, there might be traffic from Gbagi to Iwo road and some section of Iwo road to Tollgate. I think you should put engine idling into consideration too.

To sip more miles from your cherished PMS, don't turn on your AC, check tyre pressure is within required ranges, don't exceed 50 MPH and ensure you also drive reasonably......
