seanfer: Not really, I have already converted mpg into L reason we have 16L instead of 18mpg. you either convert to L/km or miles per gallon, the former is easier for us. Besides I doubt any V6 with 75L can achieve 750km. |

nurey: Actually I had even thought HL was heavier than Sienna to further justify the difference but what you've said made me check again....wow! Anyway, I just wanted to hear practical experience just to know if my utilisation is not far from reality and you've provided enough. Thanks a lot Jare |

if fuel is ur issue buy a kia Rio like mine and use...I do not know maths,but I use 10 litres for 160km journey if kia is not reliable, buy a yaris if u use a v6 and fuel is what u r carrying calculator up and down for,my brothers and sisters,u r not ready when I use my v6 car I dont look at the fuel gauge hence I give myself hypertension I'm eyeing the 03-05 4runner v8 as I dey...its not about the car,its about who's driving it 1 Like 1 Share |

For me, fuel is not the main focus but if a vehicle is consuming more fuel than normal, it could have other implications to the engine and other components in the long run. So when I asked, it was not mainly for the fuel but to confirm normalcy of car operation and performance. I hope that helps. Regards diportivo: 1 Like |

ojeysky:Just for anyone who cares, my absorber was due for replacement, I did and have noticed better mileage since then (over 320 miles on full tank) |

diportivo:A few questions sir : 1- Did you achieve that with or without AC 2- 1.4l/1.6l? , manual/auto? 3- highway/city/mixed? Thanks. |
Re: The Might Of Fuel Economy I Don't Understand by diportivo: 9:19pm On Feb 25, 2020 |

ojeysky:Was this highway driving or city driving? |
Re: The Might Of Fuel Economy I Don't Understand by ojeysky(m): 5:01pm On Feb 26, 2020 |
9icetoo: Highway my city driving is around 250/270miles |
Re: The Might Of Fuel Economy I Don't Understand by 9icetoo(m): 5:16pm On Feb 26, 2020 |
ojeysky:Okay. That's fair enough. That's actually above average. |
Re: The Might Of Fuel Economy I Don't Understand by Nobody: 5:42pm On Feb 26, 2020 |
ojeysky:My V6 E320 2001 does far better |
Re: The Might Of Fuel Economy I Don't Understand by 9icetoo(m): 7:16pm On Feb 26, 2020 |
Smartchoiice:That is a saloon and not an SUV or a minivan. These two weigh considerably more than your v6 e 320. Again, your e320 has a smaller displacement even though it is a V6. Those two factors are in favour of the V6 e320. Fuel economy can never be the same based on the two factors above. |
Re: The Might Of Fuel Economy I Don't Understand by Nobody: 8:08pm On Feb 26, 2020 |
9icetoo:You're wrong difference less than 50lbs
|
Re: The Might Of Fuel Economy I Don't Understand by 9icetoo(m): 2:56pm On Feb 27, 2020 |
Smartchoiice:Yeah. Less than 50lbs. It all adds up. Drag coefficient as well. |
Re: The Might Of Fuel Economy I Don't Understand by ojeysky(m): 8:35pm On Feb 27, 2020 |
Smartchoiice: How far? How much mileage do you do..... The HL is actually close to datasheet fuel consumption so am somewhat fine. |

Hello gurus in the house I need your view, I have a Camry 2003 am not sure if it consumes fuel. I buy 5k fuel and use for a week from Sobo egbeda to opebi ikeja. What do u think, does the car consume fuel |
Re: The Might Of Fuel Economy I Don't Understand by nurey(m): 11:17am On Mar 12, 2020 |
cokegee: Fuel consumption isn't calculated that way either buy full tank and reset trip meter A to zero then drive and when the indicator reaches half use the number of km traveled against the number of liters expected in half tank 1 Like |
