agoodman: City driving is in grades. City driving in Lagos for example, can't be compared to city driving in Abuja. Inclines, time spent in traffic are all factors that affect city mpg. Do you know what the highway mpg is? That may be a better measure to go by. Finally, our fuel here isn't great, after you've done all the tune ups you can, the quality of our petrol is the final enemy. 2 Likes |

GAZZUZZ: This is why I haven't entered the challenge. Was already tracking a refill before you posted. I was gunning for 400miles (2017 Accord) before the fuel low warning light. However, I had an unforseen cargo haul for around 30miles at speed and this has thrown off my plan. Also I entered one horrible unusual traffic yesterday . Will have to plan for next refill. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Piyke: Low fuel warning light finally came on at 378miles (606km). The above 2 things I believe got in the way. Vehicle stats: Car: 2017 Accord EX Engine displacement: 2.4L Transmission: CVT Tank capacity: 65L AC: Always on except cold mornings. MPG for this run: 28.2 (city/highway) I'll refuel and track again. Still shooting for 400miles. 2 Likes 1 Share

GAZZUZZ:mixture of both. I just watched a video and the guy was saying it's bad to fill the reserve tank. He said pouring more fuel after the pump kicks will damage one gas chamber. Na true? I always fill up my tank until it can't take another drop. |

Re: Mpg Challenge Nigeria by Piyke: 11:44am On Jun 20, 2023 |
olumzzz: You're even quoting 95. I think I recall seeing somewhere that it's 87 octane as what is used in Nigeria. I believe given the Nigeria factor, we probably don't get up to 87 octane |
