I love this. My mechanic made me believe that once my catalyst is gone, i go use my entire monthly income for fuel alone.

Chai! Why me!

There are 2 cases with a bad oxygen sensor.

With a failed O2 sensor , the ECU goes to open loop and an error code is set which will bring on the check engine light. This is easy to diagnose.

A slow response O2 sensor is more difficult to know because it may not set an error code or check engine light and the ECU can remain on closed loop but the sensor is aged and not making fuel trim adjustment as required. It could lead to fuel consumption. Only a live scan and experience will be able to diagnose this.

Remove their bulbs.

Clonelord:
You need to find the street name of that catalytic converter else men no go know wetin you dey talk About

franchasofficia:
Do you have a diagnosis center where this can be done?

HazzanTazzan:


You don’t know what you’re saying ... have the one in your car removed and come give testimony here

adanny01:


No

Doesn't solve the problem

I once bought an Honda EOD,very clean and cheap,it was sounding like a sport car.would buy 4k fuel and it would finish within 2 days and I didn’t go far….they told me they had eaten the akara of the car.akara is the street name for catalyst…I bought another around 35k and it fuel consumption went back to normal…..panelbeater plenty for police station accused of stealing that stuff

Catalytic Converter reduces harmful emission such as hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide through redox reaction but DOESN'T reduce fuel consumption.

What reduces fuel consumption are; OEM standard for tyre air pressure, apply brake carefully, good 02 sensors, quality oil for engine maintenance, quality fuel, don't idle too long, don't throttle carelessly, When vehicle is on top speed, use AC, don't keep too much loads on your boot, don't drive too slow or too fast(with windows down) Etc...

You mean it's better to use AC on top speed than not? Like it saves fuel to use AC on top speed?

breezeng:


I don't see any difference. Catalyst or no Catalyst. Its just fuel price has gone up drastically. So, everyone is feeling d effects.

Yes sir

I'm not surprised you did not understand what I wrote there. ASUU is on indefinite strike.

Nonexisting:
Do you care to explain how. Like when the car is on top speed, it takes less fuel?

Dynamicboss:



The more aerodynamics the vehicle, the more drag open windows will create. Fuel consumption reduce by 20% when windows are up and AC is on.

drlateef:




Good ones. To add to that, don’t open your windows when on top speed unless necessary, don’t accelerate very harshly, do it smoothly, most cars use more fuel in low speeds and less fuel in high speed, service your car regularly, ensure tyres are well inflated, manual gears use less fuel as compared to automatic, if you have cruise control, avoid using it, it consumes more fuel, avoid driving in windy conditions unless you drive along the direction of wind.

treatise:

A minimum of 80km/h is same level of consumption with when you're not using AC if windows are down.

Are you sure that "most cars use more fuel in low speeds and less fuel in high speed"? Is the opposite i know.
