At 26mpg, it's not particularly impressive.

Since you already arrived Abuja before 3pm, you must have a very heavy foot smiley
Seriously??...i think it's impressive taking into consideration the age of the ride...knowing fully well wear and tear must hv set in here and there.

Refuelling in ZUBA abuja.

Full tank 57liters took me 397.4miles

Filled up with 8000, 55liters
Hmmm

11.2202 kilometers per litre
8.9125 litres per 100 kilometers
0.0891 litres per kilometer

This is not impressive. The engine must have ran all through the journey with average speed of 120kmph. I think this hybrid car will not be able boost the car to an average speed of 100kmph without the engine kicking in. In every EV car, the faster you go the more battery energy is consumed.

My opinion: A hybrid car is not the best car for an interstate journey. A hybrid car is best suited for city driving when you hit the traffic to get more value for your money.

If you have ever owned a CVT vehicle you would understand they don't fare well with heavy foots.

return journey will explain better.

Batteries and EV are meant for short trips until technology improves.

I'm sure you know Tesla which is a complete EV and the likes of Nissan Leaf which can go more than 150 miles or more. They are not for short trips technology has improve and its getting better. Whereas, hybrid is not a complete EV (Electric Vehicle). My assertion above was that i expected more economy from the hybrid which a few here would agree. Its economy is no different from a regular Camry 09 with i4 engine with an avg 25mpg on the highway.

26.36 miles per gallon ( with AC and other goodies at full blast)....with a very heavy foot of course grin

Not bad considering the kind of junk fuel we have in Nigeria smiley

@ It is good to note that hybrid cars provide better fuel economy in the city than on the highway cheesy

Correct. Hybrids are built for stop and go traffic not road trips. That being said, this is still low for a Camry hybrid. It's rated at 34mpg mixed driving. Poor fuel will lose you about 3-5mpg. It should be giving about 30mpg factoring fuel and lead foot. There is an inefficiency somewhere in the system but not too bad at 26mpg.

Far from it. But what do I know undecided

morning people, thanks for all the financial sacrifice in these hard times, it is highly appreciated, but the battle is still on, and funds are still required, no amount is too small. Thanks

26Mpg Combined Is very very okay.
In fact impressive
Driving with AC, Lots of slowing down and accelerating, due to bad roads e.t.c
You can never get manufacturer mpg while driving in nigeria. From bad fuel to bad roads e.t.c

Even the corolla barely gets manufacturer mpg. If a car was human it'd get confused while being driven in nigeria. Brake , throttle- Brake throttle . thats the sequence

I doubt the corolla can even achieve 20mpg in the city

Na so I miss the action again.. Abeg who get screenshoot of what transpired here??.. I saw some snippet on Gazzuzz whatsapp story

Legalwealth is very very angry and he can't say shit here grin grin

Legalo you no go church today? You can reply me in the business section grin grin grin
grin grin grin

I go church and I even dey church right now.

Haven't you reasoned or sensed all these while that I'm a multi-tasking robot? grin grin grin

Plus don't be hypocritical, you know who Legalo is or who is behind the moniker. I(Legalwealth) is not Legalo; I once opened a thread which is still live to clarify that.

You are very right with the bolded.

Another thing is that one could be enjoying it while it is working fine but immediately it starts giving issues, one might get fed up.

I know of someone who parked his toyota highlander 2005 hybrid for more than one year after initially wasting money and time in trying to fix it all to no avail.

I think he later converted it, but thanks to technology which has even made it very easy to fix once you know what to do.

My 18 years old Mercedes Benz w210 E320 12plugs V6 m112 engine gets 18 MPG strictly city driving. 8 MPG difference just 8mpg will NOT make me spend extra millions to acquire the such


Meanwhile my car's windows can be lowered or closed up with my car keys..... The Camry is still thinking about how to do such

grin grin grin..
But if you multiply the extra 8mpg to a year fuel consumption.. It's going to amount to something

NB: i will take higher smiles per gallon over Miles per gallon any day grin
