18.3 Mpg by obidevine(m): 8:03am On Aug 29, 2023 |
@gazzuzz @kingreign Good morning . I just checked my miles per gallon meter. It shows that my car does 18.3mpg. Is this good or bad . Is this fuel consumption good or bad ? NB : It's a 2012 Toyota Camry 4 cyl |

It's good. That's approximately 30KM per 4litres. |

obidevine: Not bad for an 11 year old car but can be improved. |

kingreign: When you say it can be improved, do you mean the that mpg should be lower or higher than 18.3mpg? |
Re: 18.3 Mpg by kingreign(m): 10:38am On Aug 29, 2023 |
obidevine: Should be higher |

Are you a fast driver? You can improve your mpg by being light on the throttle, also avoid carrying unneeded weight 1 Like |

obidevine: Does the vehicle show your average speed? |
Re: 18.3 Mpg by obidevine(m): 8:44pm On Aug 30, 2023 |
Itsrm: No |

@kingreign, does the absence of catalyst contribute to high fuel usage ? |
Re: 18.3 Mpg by Itsrm(m): 8:52pm On Aug 30, 2023 |
obidevine: Then it's very difficult to say if your vehicle consumes fuel or not. Mpg should never be taken in isolation. It's heavily dependent on your average mph Two people driving the same car with one doing 10mph and the other doing 20mph will never have the same mpg. Best you can do is scan the car and fix anything that can lead to increased fuel consumption. |

obidevine: Depends sir. Absence of catalytic converter on it's own may not cause high fuel consumption, however, a blocked catalytic converter may cause high fuel consumption. 1 Like |
