Saka is an act of making a rider pay excessively over the right fare like a driver did such to me some days ago.

Oh i see..

Thanks for the clarification.

Any tip on how to guide against it?

On uber at the end of the trip, if u notice any suspicious scam, click on the trip details, look at the route the driver drove from ur pickup point to your destination, if there is a form of zig-zag or u see that the route on the map is not where u passed in reality, report such trip as fruad, driver will be penalized and u will have a refund.

PS: anyone with pictorial illustrations should post for more clarifications.

Over 0.5 for a particular team means that team will score at least a goal.
Over 0.5 for the match means the match will have at least one goal scored by either of the teams.

LOL. OK thanks, I was wondering how decimal point got into football. Is there anything like half goal? (0.5)

Ive read from experienced drivers here that google map is better. What if the driver follows map thereby the route not aligned with that on uber app? So such event could get that driver banned?

My Matrix consumes a lot of fuel. This is my first week on the job and I made 75k total but I spent almost 40k on fuel. And I don't run around much. The other day I bought fuel of 2k and it couldn't take me from Gbagada to Gerrard road in Island and back to Gbagada.
I've serviced the injector and it seems to have gotten worse. Opinions needed urgently.....

I think something must be wrong with the car.
Some experts have said here that some toyota cars like yaris, matrix are as almost or equally fuel efficient as corolla.

Car Buying / Gas Mileage
8 Main Causes of Bad Gas Mileage
November 8, 2016
13 Comments

Bad gas mileage is caused by a number of different things. The list goes on and on, but there are various things that attribute to this problem. Bad gas mileage means that your car is not running as efficiently as it could, and it also means you are losing money at the pumps because you are filling up more often. Here are some of the main causes of poor gas mileage.


See this month's best deals on fuel-efficient cars >>


Bad Gas Mileage Causes:

Incorrect tire pressure is a common cause of bad gas mileage. It's also one of the easiest things to correct. Periodically checking your tires with an inexpensive pressure gauge is a good way to catch this. Just be sure to use your car manufacturer's recommended pressure levels stamped onto the driver's side doorplate and not the "maximum pressure" numbers shown on the tire itself.

Having bad oxygen sensors and air filters can reduce your gas mileage by up to 20%. The oxygen sensors help keep the proper mixture of air and fuel, and having this off balance can be inefficient. The air filters can get clogged and simply need to be unclogged to fix the problem. Air filters need to be cleaned so that the engine can work at its peak performance.

Your spark plugs are responsible for sparking combustion in your engine. If they misfire, or are working poorly, this can affect your gas mileage in a negative way.

Having bad fuel injectors can cause bad mileage. This is because the fuel injectors are responsible for putting fuel into the engine. If there is a leak of some sort, then less fuel will make it to the engine, and then in turn make it run less efficiently.

Having your air conditioner on causes a lot of gas to be wasted in powering the system. Depending on your local climate, consider turning off the air conditioner when it makes sense and ride with your windows open. At higher speeds, close the windows though to reduce drag

A common cause of bad mileage is your own driving habits. If you are an aggressive driver, likely you accelerate to quickly. This causes more fuel to be used, and will use up more gas than you need. Same goes for revving your engine. It may sound cool, but it uses up gas for going nowhere.

Many people waste gas by idling. Idling is when you have your engine on, but you are parked and not moving. Common places where this occurs is when you are trying to warm up your car in the winter, or while you are waiting to pick someone up. Your car really doesn't need more than 30 seconds to warm up the engine. When it comes to waiting for someone, turn your car off or put it into neutral. Since you aren't moving, you might as well save gas and the environment.

The type of motor oil that you are using can also affect your gas mileage up to 12%. You want to use motor oils that are high in reducing friction. Either use a synthetic oil or the oil that the car's manual recommends.

Why did you accuse the young man of doing saka? Because he made 75k on his first week? Do you know how much time he spent on the road? He could have been doing 5am-10pm in that first week. He could have just been lucky to make that amount that week.

Let's stop throwing unfounded accusations around so cheaply here. Not that you even proffered any solution to his issues.

I've only heard about the saka stuff here. I made 75k because I've been following this thread since February and I learnt a thing or two b4 I started. I leave as early as 5am and close by 9pm. Sometimes I go home with 12k, sometimes 8k. Continue throwing shades, with a good car, I'll continue making my money..
