Check for codes, a lot.of issues can cause that If no codes ,change ecu or some sensors might be misleading the ecu to dump more fuel and not enough to trigger a code, make sure u are using the right sensors using the part numbers |

paix:Oga nothing is wrong with your fuel consumption, the car consumes what it designs to take. I drive Camry am doing 9-10km so no complain. Stop wasting your money and time on what is not there 9 Likes |

paix: As the poster before me said, there is nothing wrong with your car City driving burns more fuel than highway driving because of the stop-and-go nvolved in city driving and the fact that the engine hardly had time to warm up and enter closed loop. Try doing highway driving and watch your mpg substantially improve... Also try not to drive aggressively, as excessive acceleration and braking can sometimes halve your fuel economy. Also check your vehicle for binding brakes. As in check weda any of the brakes no dey release the tyre fully after release. Lastly, the best fuel economy trick is to not drive the vehicle... Park am, cover am with tarpaulin, and watch your fuel consumption go down to zero. 19 Likes |

paix:So your car gives u about 10km/Litre, 100km/10L and u are still complaining!!!!!! Nawa oo, u for kuku say make the car no consume anything at all naa!! Oga stop being stingy. We Nigerians too like awoof. If u want a lesser mpg u can opt for a yaris or picanto!! That one, u can use the fuel for a whole month if u like... I wish badly that my car could give me the mpg your avensis is currently giving u. All the best.. 5 Likes |

Re: Poor Fuel Economy by Dozieson(m): 4:21pm On Jul 30, 2023 |
FrankValency: You have to do some check yourself. 1. Check the canister purge value to see if it is still functional 2. Check for vacuum leaks in your car. Those plastic hosts from the air intake 3. Check if your fuel tank is leaking 4. . Your car should be calibrated in miles. Could be 2.5l in 12miles=12*1.6=19.2km 19.2/2.5= 1 Like |

FrankValency: Your car speed/mileage is calibrated in miles not kilometers |
Re: Poor Fuel Economy by FrankValency(m): 7:57pm On Jul 30, 2023 |
Ok, but the odometer reading, is it miles or kilometer because that's where i read from, i check reading before leaving and reading when im back. See picture below Dozieson:

Re: Poor Fuel Economy by Dozieson(m): 4:45am On Aug 01, 2023 |

Dozieson: My brother o, i tire for all these mechanics,Only the evaporative emission system code and that crankshaft code were first seen on scan the last time, then this mechanic suggest we also change all four plugs and he cleaned the injector with that can cleaner after the evaporative pipes were changed. Then i rescanned back today, this misfire then showed, because i wasn't feeling any misfiring before atal, the movement was ok, just the massive consumption. Now today we changed the number 1, 2 and 4 cylinder coil according to the scan... Just bought another 10litres to test again, the last 10litrs covered about 40km |
Re: Poor Fuel Economy by FrankValency(m): 8:42pm On Aug 19, 2023 |
Angrygoat: No bro, ive never experienced that, check my last reply |
Re: Poor Fuel Economy by Dozieson(m): 8:44pm On Aug 19, 2023 |
FrankValency: Why did you change plugs without scanning? Those guys will drill a big hole in your pocket. I don't even go to them for little works like coil and plug replacement. I do it myself after scan |
Re: Poor Fuel Economy by Born2conquer: 5:21am On Aug 20, 2023 |
How do you all calculate fuel consumption? I’ve always wanted to calculate mine but I do not know how. I spend around 20k to 40k weekly on fueling only |
Re: Poor Fuel Economy by Dozieson(m): 9:19am On Aug 20, 2023 |
Born2conquer: Set your odometer A or B to 0. Drive with your 20/40k fuel. Then check the total liters consumed through the odometer distance. |
Re: Poor Fuel Economy by FrankValency(m): 4:08pm On Aug 20, 2023 |
Dozieson: My brother e do me like film sef, i felt changing plug was just for routine checks, those guys always think person carry money dey waka go everywhere. Na after changing of plugs and cleaning injector that this misfiring started |
