Not easy to say, besides a lot depends on the driver. Several things that have a direct effect on fuel economy: Shape of the car (aerodynamics). Width of tyres (aerodynamics). Weight of car (a heavier car will require more energy to accelerate to any given speed, hence needing more fuel). Size and profile of spoilers, if fitted. Terrain the car will mostly be driven on. Engine size. Engine output (hp). Engine output (torque). Transmission type (manual versions are more economical). Final drive (gearing). Type of fuel (turbo diesels are obviously more economical than petrol versions). Quality of fuel used. Engine condition (state of tune can make all the difference). So, you can see there are lots of ways to make even a thirsty beast economical, there are no clear answers to your question, as a Toyota Corolla 1,6 and a Honda Civic with the same engine capacity will return similar mpg figures, the only edge either will have over the other would be in the criteria I've listed above. |

Siena, I want to seek ur advice, Im sorry that I av to digress from the thread. I want to buy a car, but I am confused as regards making a choice between a Golf 3, Toyota corolla E100, Honda Bull dog. I need ur advice as regards which is more economical and durable |

dbalinga: No worries, brother. Much as I'm a German car fan, and don't really care much for Japanese vehicles, for the Nigerian market, in terms of running costs, I'd recommend the Toyota Corolla. Parts are pretty cheap and abundant in supply, and Naija mechanics know their way round the oily stuff in Japanes cars better than they do with German machinery. In terms of durability though, the Golf will have the edge, but I'd offset that against the Toyota's good local source of parts. Good luck. |
