I quoted mine as a template to know your fuel consumption. Like you rightly stated, 14\100kms . Do likewise when calculating the fuel consumption because you cannot say i bought 3k fuel when you are not even sure you got the value because the stations that sell fuel do not fear God and so must have sold you 2200 naira fuel. That said, the RRS is a 4.4litre v8 sweet fuel efficient ride. When you are driving on that your speed of 130km, I will be cruising and dust past you. That is the difference in that fuel. Driving and cruising. All fuel are not the same o. One is for driving while the other is for cruising.
4.4litre V8 with your consumption, it's indeed fuel efficient. But why would you be comparing my 1.8litre i4 toy with your 4.4litre v8 luxury ride. Abi you want me to blow off my intake manifold and valves competing with u? Abeg if u me see for road just pass ooo Gwag and 2016 Highlander don dust me @160km and 180km to be precise na you i wan challange undecided.

This happened to me once @ Total Filling station @Garrison in PH. I went to buy fuel for my dad to travel for xmas because of the long queues. Pajero Tank is about 80ltrs, while i had quarter left. The Total station meter read 90ltrs when i filled up. Since then i have i avoided all Total Fuel station i mostly buy @ AP Shell RA aba road. One time, i decided to buy N4k fuel to fill up corolla @ Total station 1st artillery after doing wheel balancing i was travelling to Benin on a sunday. Yet @ half tank which i already had the fuel didn't reach the full tank mark very well. I have since stopped buy fuel from ALL Total Stations.

However, my corolla tank is 50 litres capacity. When i travel from PH to Benin through warri, I cover 353km to my destination. With or without AC i noticed that whats left most times is half tank or slightly below half. I usually buy extra 3k fuel before coming back to PH. Is this consumption Okay? I don't have any check engine light or warning light showing up. Average Speed is 130km to 150km during each trip.

Car TalkRe: Capless Gas Tank; Who Can Identify The Vehicle by snipesdam(m): 2:12pm On Jan 22, 2018
This Technology is manufactured by Ford.

Features:
1. Prevents Fuel Theft: Ford owners can feel a little more secure knowing their vehicles have fuel system innovations such as the Easy Fuel® (capless fuel filler) feature. The Ford Easy Fuel feature is designed to easily let fuel in and make it difficult to get fuel out.

2. Eliminate Screw Cap: Ford’s capless full filler deters gas theft two different ways. With Easy Fuel, a spring-loaded flapper door is held closed by latches that can only be released by a standard-size fuel nozzle. This eliminates the need for a fuel tank screw cap. When the proper nozzle is inserted into the filler neck of the system, the latches release, and the nozzle pushes the spring-loaded flapper door to the open position. When the nozzle is removed, the flapper door automatically is forced closed by the spring.

3. Stops Fuel Vapor From Escaping: The main purpose of the system is to prevent vapors from escaping during the fueling process. Another deterrent in Ford vehicles is an inlet check valve that is part of the on-board refueling vapor recovery system. While the valve is primarily designed to prevent vapors from escaping during the fueling process, it also can thwart siphoning efforts because it closes automatically after the fueling process. It does so by detecting the pressure of liquid fuel as it passes.

Also lincoln has this feature...

What do you consider as enough grease? Over greasing make grease force its way out of the boot thereby destroying it in no time. Just some substantial quantity is okay
Well I said enough grease. Which means adequate grease. I believe the cup only contain its quantity and can't over flow because it's boots is clipped. However using poor quality boots over time in less that 4months with highway travel will weaken boot, especially the part close to the edge of the cup. It cracks, then breaks and you loose grease.
Car TalkRe: My Car Vibrates At 30kmph,i Have Done Alignment And Balancing Yet It Persists by snipesdam(m): 11:10am On Dec 29, 2017
Op get a good mechanic to check the cups from the gear box if it has groove and the condition of inner shaft bearings. You may have to change the cup or inner bearing or both. Ensure that the mechanic loads it with enough grease. If the inner shaft boots is broken get an original one or toks boots. The cheap ones easily breaks and you loose lubrication from there.

Good luck.

Family3 Kids Burn't To Death by snipesdam(op): 10:18am On Dec 19, 2017
This isn't my story but I'm so pained right now i have to share it. Truly to find a good wife is not easy oh... What will make a man happy the rest of his life is not the money he has made, its his wife. This incident happened on Monday night.

My colleague in the office a lady came to work this morning only to go the canteen to cry till this moment. I asked what happened, was she robbed? I was told her little niece(1) and nephew(2) was burnt to death yesterday. cry cry cry A few of us gathered to console her and asked what happened.

Her elder brother has been married for almost 6 years now. God has blessed them with 2 Boys and a Girl. Lately he has been having issues with his wife which involves her disrespecting her mother in-law, accusing family members, causing trouble left right centre. She also had squandered the shop her husband had setup for her twice, also took a huge undisclosed amount which the husband kept @ home he was using for house building project in the village. They are all from Umuahia.

So with all these trouble here and there the husband decided to give her a break and sent her back home that he lacks home training. For a few months there was peace and the wife was calling to reconcile and pleas here and there with family members. Mean while, the kids where now staying with their grandma (the husbands mother). After so much plea, the husband decided to give her second chance. According my colleague his sister said he is a quite type.

She requested she wanted to have the kids for the weekend last week he agree but his mother refused to give her grandchildren to the son's wife. Eventually on Sunday 17/12/2017 the wife came around and carried her kids to stay with her. This morning my colleague was given the news that the kids are now dead burnt. How....?

The wife upon bring the kids to her fathers house kept all three of them in a room and lit a candle @ nightfall. While she left them in that room and went to sleep in another room separate from that one with another kid not of her husbands. undecided

Our thoughts in the office was:

1. A woman whom has missed her children for over 4 months didn't miss them enough to sleep with them?
2. A mother normally comes to check her children @ night to see if they are ok.
3. How come its only that room that got burnt.
4. Why did she not sleep in same room with them along with a child she is taking care of in her dads house which she took to another room.
5. I think she wanted to payback the husband with this evil.
6. Didn't anyone hear screams in the night.
7. Was the door locked from the outside because of the kids is about 4yrs old and can open a door.
8. This lady should be arrested and prosecuted.

Car TalkTOP 10 Of The Lowest-rated Cars For 2017 by snipesdam(op): 2:27pm On Dec 08, 2017
1. Lowest-Rated Subcompact Car: Mitsubishi Mirage

https://article.images.consumerreports.org/prod/content/dam/CRO%20Images%202017/Cars/February/CR-Cars-Inline-Lowest-rated-Mitsubishi_Galant-02-17.jpg

Reliability: Average
Fuel economy: 37 mpg
Price range: $12,995-$16,995

An affordable car that delivers a thrifty 37 mpg overall might make the Mirage seem like a screaming deal. But enhancements for 2017 don’t mask the weak, vibrating three-cylinder engine that delivers sluggish acceleration or the clumsy roly-poly handling. Though the cabin is relatively roomy, it feels drab, cheap, and insubstantial. In the end, there is no compelling reason to buy a Mirage and, for the money, there are many much better used cars for the same price.

2. Lowest-Rated Compact Electric/Hybrid: Mitsubishi i-MiEV
https://article.images.consumerreports.org/prod/content/dam/CRO%20Images%202017/Cars/February/CR-Cars-Inline-Lowest-rated-Mitsubishi_i-02-17.jpg

Reliability: Average
Fuel economy: 111 MPGe
Price: $22,995

The i-MiEV is one of the cheapest all-electric cars available, but you'd be better off buying any other EV than this one. It’s an underdeveloped car that is slow, clumsy, and stiff riding, with a plebeian cabin. It takes 6 to 7 hours to charge on a 240-volt, Level 2 charger, or a lengthy 21 hours on a standard 110-volt charger. Its range is EPA-rated at 62 miles, although we generally got around 59 miles. In comparison, the five-seat Nissan Leaf, with its roomier interior, more comfortable ride, and longer driving range, feels like a real car and is a far better choice.

3. Lowest-Rated Compact Car: Fiat 500L
https://article.images.consumerreports.org/prod/content/dam/CRO%20Images%202017/Cars/February/CR-Cars-Inline-Lowest-rated-Fiat-02-17.jpg

Reliability: Much worse than average
Fuel economy: 27 mpg
Price range: $19,495-$24,795

This quasi-wagon responds eagerly in turns, handles securely at its limit, and has a roomy cabin. But it earned a dismal road-test score due to a stiff ride, flat seats, and an odd driving position. Based on our extensive owner satisfaction survey, a high percentage of owners wish they hadn’t bought this hatchback. The 500L also has one of the worst reliability scores among all new cars in our recent survey. If that still isn’t enough to dissuade you, it scored a Poor in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety small-overlap frontal test.

4. Lowest-Rated Midsized Sedan: Chrysler 200
https://article.images.consumerreports.org/prod/content/dam/CRO%20Images%202017/Cars/February/CR-Cars-Inline-Lowest-rated-Chrysler-02-17.jpg

Reliability: Much worse than average
Fuel economy: 25-30 mpg
Price range: $21,995-$31,785

This category is overflowing with competent, and even excellent, alternatives to the 200. It drives like it's from a previous era. Handling is clumsy, the ride is unsettled, and the four-cylinder engine is underwhelming. The transmission is uncooperative and has proven to be a reliability albatross. The tight rear seat feels claustrophobic and access is compromised. In Consumer Reports' ratings, the 200 has the dubious distinction of carrying the lowest Overall Score and lowest road-test score in the class, as well as the lowest predicted reliability rating.

5. Lowest-Rated Compact Pickup: Toyota Tacoma
https://article.images.consumerreports.org/prod/content/dam/CRO%20Images%202017/Cars/February/CR-Cars-Inline-Lowest-rated-Toyota_Tacoma-02-17.jpg

Reliability: Much worse than average
Fuel economy: 19 mpg
Price range: $24,825-$37,820

The Tacoma is as rough and tumble as it has always been, complete with impressive off-road prowess. But there is no escaping that this is a primitive truck. Despite the recent redesign, the ride remains stiff, handling is ponderous, the cabin is loud, and the driving position is still awkward. The modern connectivity features are a welcome upgrade. Safety features such as blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are available. Ultimately these electronic niceties do not overcome this truck’s shortcomings. And counter to its past reputation, first-year reliability of the redesigned Tacoma has been disappointing.

6. Lowest-Rated Midsized SUV: Dodge Journey
https://article.images.consumerreports.org/prod/content/dam/CRO%20Images%202017/Cars/February/CR-Cars-Inline-Lowest-rated-Dodge-Jouney-02-17.jpg

Reliability: Worse than average
Fuel economy: 16 mpg
Price range: $20,995-$33,695

On paper, this midsized SUV may sound compelling, but in our tests we found that the Journey has a confining interior and lacks agility, and the V6 delivers the worst fuel economy in its class. Plus, it suffers from below-average reliability and poor performance in IIHS small-overlap frontal crash tests. Even though it rides well and has a relatively quiet cabin, families may be deterred by the snug third-row seat. The Journey is late in its model run, with discounts commonplace. But don’t be tempted. This low-rated model is a poor value anywhere—even at the airport rental lot.

7. Lowest-Rated Entry-Level Luxury Car: Mercedes-Benz CLA
https://article.images.consumerreports.org/prod/content/dam/CRO%20Images%202017/Cars/February/CR-Cars-Inline-Lowest-rated-Mercedes-02-17.jpg

Reliability: Worse than average
Fuel economy: 28 mpg
Price range: $31,500-$48,500

The CLA proves that pedigree does not ensure a refined car. At first the engine feels unresponsive, then the power comes on abruptly. Though the car is agile, the ride is punishingly stiff and the CLA is loud inside. Cabin access is difficult, and the well-appointed interior is cramped. The heavily promoted base price is something of a tease; buyers need to spend a lot on options to get the luxury features expected on a premium model.

8. Lowest-Rated Luxury Midsized Sedan: Maserati Ghibli
https://article.images.consumerreports.org/prod/content/dam/CRO%20Images%202017/Magazine-Articles/April/Google-Auto-Profile-images-2017/PRF-818.jpg

Reliability: Much worse than average
Fuel economy: 19 mpg
Price range: $70,600-$78,550

The Ghibli turns heads and is fun to drive. Handling is sporty and agile, the brakes are strong, and the engine emits a thrilling bark. But the fuel economy from the Ferrari-developed V6 turbo is dismal, the stiff ride can grow fatiguing, and the rear seat is cramped. Climbing into or out of this low-slung sports sedan can be a challenge. Chrysler’s Uconnect touch screen is a plus, but it’s hard not to notice some cheap-looking switches, sourced from other, more mainstream models from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

9. Lowest-Rated Luxury Compact SUV: Land Rover Discovery Sport
https://article.images.consumerreports.org/prod/content/dam/CRO%20Images%202017/Magazine-Articles/April/Google-Auto-Profile-images-2017/PRF-837.jpg

Reliability: Much worse than average
Fuel economy: 21 mpg
Price range: $37,455-$45,995

One would expect a more regal entry into this hot market segment from Land Rover. Instead, the Discovery Sport struggles in comparisons against even mass-market small SUVs. Power delivery from the turbo four-cylinder is spiky, with either too little or too much acceleration, and the transmission is neither smooth nor responsive. Though capable off-road, on the road the ride is stiff-legged and handling is far from sporty. The austere cabin is rather plain for a model from a boutique luxury brand. The infotainment system is slow to respond. Based on Land Rover’s history, reliability is a concern for this pricey, underachieving SUV.

10. Lowest-Rated Luxury SUV: Cadillac Escalade
https://article.images.consumerreports.org/prod/content/dam/CRO%20Images%202017/Magazine-Articles/April/Google-Auto-Profile-images-2017/PRF-455.jpg

Reliability: Much worse than average
Fuel economy: 16 mpg
Price range: $73,395-$97,795

The Escalade lacks the character of a true luxury SUV; it rides too stiffly and doesn't stop or handle with the grace of its peers. Despite casting a massive shadow, the Cadillac is not even that comfortable inside. The second-row seats are too low, and the third row is cramped. The Cue infotainment system is confounding. Reliability ranks worst in class. We consider a well-trimmed Chevrolet Suburban or GMC Yukon XL to be a smarter buy.
