Corrolla 2011 S Fuel Problem by Sirchiboy: 8:34pm On Feb 18
bought fuel of 10k at 675 and reset my odometer to 0 and after the journey.
The 10k fuel only finished at 69 miles
Re: Corrolla 2011 S Fuel Problem by Ravenna: 9:01pm On Feb 18
10k fuel is like 15lts.
You used 15 lts of fuel for 110km and you're complaining?!


Hehehehe..

You believed those liars that said a Corolla can go 100km with 1Lts of PMS abi? i.e Lagos- Ibadan.

There's no anomaly there, the car runs just fine.
Maybe you used AC throughout tho also depends on your driving techniques.

Anyways, Welcome to reality.

My Honda Accord DC will do same 15lts from Lagos to Ibadan on a speed of 120km/ph.

It depends on city or highway driving.

Corolla 2003-2008 can do 150km with the 15ltrs. Can do more kilometers on highway with same fuel

Is there a check engine light in your car? Pls scan

Your fuel consumption is very high abeg. I use a 2003 2.4L Camry and I get 80miles with 10k of 685/L

3things could be the reason here;

1 The station u bought fuel from might have tampered with their metre

2: U might have run on AC all through the journey

3: Your style of driving ( maybe aggressive or high speed driving)

However, 69miles for 14.8-15L of fuel is very economical if i may say

Your Camry is consuming fuel. You should be getting close to 90/91 miles with 15l

If u read my post again u will understand my point of view.
OP Also your Catalyst (Indomie) fuel pump and injector should be checked

Don't be tempted to go and spoil your car, your fuel economy is normal, if its an highway driving it would be better than that.

It is not normal. Let him scan and share codes here. You will see the cause
Re: Corrolla 2011 S Fuel Problem by Bullfallo(m): 3:41pm On Feb 24
It’s not normal of first buy injector cleaner for your tank. Next observed all the spark plug that are not firing well. Next is to observe the coils, air filter, MAF sensor and 02 sensor.

But fit scan the car.

Scanned it

They cleared the error.
Changed the four plug.
Removed 02 sensor to test it and it was ok.
Still consuming fuel

its not a matter of changing the plug. Merely looking at the plug a good mechanic will know if they are firing well or not. If they are not firing well, how many of them are not firing well? Then next is why?

If they are firing well then you need to check the type oil you are using. 20w50 will or old oil will consume more fuel very much than 5w30 and new oil

1. Visit #2 to the dealer. This time they put the shop foreman on the job (very experienced guy they said ). The problem was a ground wire attached to the intake manifold. Problem fixed, no CEL light for a week. No additional charge from the dealer.


ground wire as stated above

2. Faulty oxygen sensors or its harness/wire. Try and replace if need be to see if there will be improvement

3. You could use an original fuel cleaner to improve the situation. Buy the one in metallic container

you have to be patient while going through these steps one after the other


again, check if your exhaust in leaking. Catalyst has been removed
