Bros you can lie...lol

Oops!

But in other years corollas can have higher mpg to comparable elantras.

Eitherway, my point still stands that mpg varies across different car makers for comparable engines and models. (as your photo shows).

erico2k2:

Bro my reasons are both practical and theoretical . In the UK Ford came up with a cheap car for students they called it the Ford KA . You can do your research on that . Regards F1 speed does not equate to power

Lol,
1. Op is not in the Uk.
2. You didn't advise him to get the Ka.
3. You're now including power to your "firm stand" on engine capacity.

In conclusion, kindly read initial post and assist in op's decision making. Thanks.

Bro location is highly irrelevant to fuel performance . And what's wrong in buying the KA ? ?
You brought in FI cars I was marely dismissing ot as it has no bearing on the subject of the day

D Honda Civic is very fuel efficient. I know somebody dat uses it & as per him, he fills up the tank with N7000 & travels from Lagos to the East & comes back to Lagos without refilling the tank.

impossible. very impossible...what kind of imagination be that

What of Honda Accord 2013? Is it V6 and how is the fuel economy like? I look forward to buying the car, but am scared cos I don't want to be buying fuel every time. How much does it take to fill up the tank.

RealHaute:


FYI people, MPG is Miles Per Gallon; not Machine-gun People of Ghana. So don't rope makydebbie into this.

And since we are kilometer and liters here instead of miles and gallons, common sense cannot tell u I converted my united to the ones we use here for easy understanding.

Let me teach you something called grey imports.
Google grey import cars. Don't end up full of regrets after buying a car that's not meant to thrive in Nigerian's temprate atmosphere.

i recently bought corolla 2006 ,its save fuel and very economy in time of fuel ,i will advice you to go for it

Look at this car Smart or four. It's a 1.1 engine . Beats every Toyota anyone can bring up . I challenge anybody

2013 or 2014 is likely not going to be different.

All u need to know is that all Honda Civic has suspension problem.

You are extremely ignorant when it comes to hiw cars work.for the simple fact yoy mentioned temperature relative to how a car will work in Nigeria is a pure indication of you not having a clue. I'm a fully trained mechanic engineer with 12 years experience in the UK though I don't work in automotive industry but I work with facilities thy support the automotive industry .
The issue of temperature . Heating people removing thermostat have been trashed on this forum in the past its obvious you where not here at the time .

Thank you sir for the reply... But sir is that supposed to be a serious problem?

Lol. Just because you know this is a faceless forum, u... I laugh so hard when I see how some that never own a bicycle tyre all their life are quick to claim shit. Young people like me that have 4 different cars don't brag about it. Continue to lie and rant away your life on NL, I'm too busy. I'm out.

Converted and still tagged it mpg. Issorait.

I will advise, you go for TOYOTA COROLLA 2003 to 2005 Model Ordinary or Sport 4plug and TOYOTA CAMRY 2000 to 2001 Model (DROP LIGHT) 4plug. depend on ur budget. They are all very fuel economical and easy to Maintained.
Thanks

1st grade, Toyota Corolla nd Toyota Camry what the cost?. Thanks

me brag ke lol how does my statement constitute bragging ? and how do you know I'm not young ? You think working for 12 years amount to B old right ? .guy you have serious issues just cos I exposed your ignorance you want to throw your dummy outta da pram .
talking about temperature with cars in 9ja my backside.

The Engine is called L4 and not V4 because the Cylinders are a Line and not in a V shape like the V6, V8 etc.

Inside of internal combustion engines, there are metal pistons which are pushed and pulled up and down very quickly. There are multiple pistons doing this at the same time. With an even number of cylinders, it is easier to make the engine shake less by balancing how the pistons move and trying to have the forces balance each other by having some pistons move in the opposite direction of others. A specially shaped shaft coordinates these movements. An even number of pistons/cylinders makes this easier.

There are inline 5 cylinder engines which use an extra metal weight to balance things out, but it is much more common to have an even number of cylinders.

To make the engine more compact cylinders are also placed in a 'V pattern' with half of the cylinders on one side and the other half on the other. This resembles a V shape.

Engines with less cylinders can remain balanced while still having them right next to each other because they are smaller and have less mass moving around. Many smaller cars have inline 4 cylinder engines with the cylinders side by side.

As the number of cylinders increase, it would create too long of an engine if they remained side by side. This can be seen clearly with cars from the 1930s and 1940s which had very long engine compartments to accommodate very long engines. As manufacturing of cars became more efficient engines were placed in smaller and smaller engine bays with increasing complexity in how the cylinders are oriented to each other and increasingly complex physics to get more power out of less physical space.

There are “compact” 12 cylinder engines and they have four rows of four cylinders each for a 'W' shape. The engine ends up being much shorter than if all 12 cylinders were placed side by side. And again the even number of cylinders makes balancing all of this easier and less expensive.

While a V5 or V7 engine would be technically possible, it would be inherently unbalanced and likely shake itself to failure unless expensive and complex counterbalance measures were designed in to try to balance an uneven number of moving parts - most companies do not feel it is

You talked professionally and logically. You must be an engineer. Kudos bros.

I stand to be corrected please i would like to know but if you dont step on the gas pedal that much that should make a difference am i right or wrong ?Cause i can vividly remember during fuel scarcity and i am cautious on how i step on the gas pedal it helps

He sure had a refill on his way back. Not possible to do dat distance using honda civic wich is nt a hybrid with a vry high mpg rating. I will agree with yu If yu say lagos to benin nd back, but only with economical driving.

Yep. In nigeria, u can mostly find them in some VWs especially the golf 4 & bora.

V4 �

The OP can easily explain better than me, a poor car end-user.

Well, I learnt something new today.

paul5378:
If you wanna live long don't buy hunda. The front tire do pull off easily

simply not the truth! I'm yet to see a well maintained honda whose 'leg simply just pulled off' of its own volition. I have owned the civic and accord cars and have not had ANY 'legs' pulling off in 6years plus! for your information, ANY car, irrespective of brand, can't have it's legs pull off if not consistently and appropriately maintained.
