Nor sure of price because I don't use a corrola, but the meachnic who told u that that catalyt for the car is 100k is a big thief. Personally I doubt your catalyt can be more than 10k, but at the every worst, 15k.then look for a good panel that knows how to install it properly. |

double0seven:15k catalyst is surely a made- in- ladipo catalysts You are looking for trouble for your engine using that kind of catalyst. |

Bro did you ever resolve the fuel issue |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by sheu01: 9:10am On Dec 16, 2019 |
@ Justbright, Have u resolved the issue of fuel consumption after purchase of catalyst |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by anyibig: 7:45pm On May 17, 2020 |
Good day house, please I bought a tokubo 2003 toyota corolla, I filled the tank last week and reset my trip to 0, it's now on half tank and I've covered 81.7 miles which is approximately 131km. Please house, is the fuel consumption OK or do my car gulp fuel? Also I do more of city driving. |

anyibig: Anytime I do full tank, I travel 130km before it start to come below the uppermost thick mark |

I don't have check engine light on my dashboard, no warning light at all too |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by Twob: 11:09am On May 18, 2020 |
Justbright: It either your Thermostat is faulty (stuck open and not allow the engine to reach its optimum operating temperature) or the Coolant temperature sensor is faulty too (u can confirm this with multimeter, its ohms reading should change with temperature, if not, the sensor is bad) Besides, these suggested solutions are based on your said Diagnostic Troubleshooting Code P0128. |

Help my 2006 honda accord v6 averages btw 170-200 miles within city drive after every fill up. I am tired of it guzzling fuel |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by dicksonadams(m): 5:36am On May 20, 2020 |
osato45: Check if catalyst is missing |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by emy77: 6:37am On May 20, 2020 |
I use the same car, a 2007 honda accord v6. Honestly this has nothing to do with presence or absence of catalyst as I removed mine when I found out they were blocked and were about to damage my engine From full tank, I usually do abt 150-170miles when I get to the half tank mark and 270-280miles by empty. All this within the city and with ac. Change yr plugs to the correct grade, check if yr cooling system is factory spec, and use the right oil grade. Thank me later 1 Like |

Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by osato45: 10:17am On May 20, 2020 |
emy77:wow that's impressive, from inception I use the right oil grade 5w20. No doubt I will have to change my plugs immediately, but my cooling system is factory spec except for the fact i had to change the radiator since it was leaking, I also drive with ac too. Is it that you encounter less traffic in your city thats why your mpg is good? |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by emy77: 11:08pm On May 20, 2020 |
I drive in Lagos, headquarters of traffic. Just buy platinum iridium plugs brand new, and make sure your fans come on and off as manufacturer intended 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by osato45: 6:40am On May 21, 2020 |
emy77:I have ordered six plugs from @luvinghubby on nairaland, he is a honda parts dealer in lagos, yes my fans come on and goes off right from the onset, i have never had any over heating issues. Thanks |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by emy77: 11:29am On May 23, 2020 |
Please update the house on how it goes |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by osato45: 5:42am On Jun 01, 2020 |
I replaced my plugs (apparently they were gone) with NGK IR plugs last week. I am still observing my mpg to see if there would be any improvement
|
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by osato45: 6:57am On Jun 03, 2020 |
emy77: despite changing to brand new ngk iridium plugs last week, i still average 100-125 miles from full tank to half way line. My check light only came on because my fuel pump went bad after replacing it, the check light disappeared. I feel this is the best I can get from the ride, as i read someone's 2016 thread here, of his dc averaging 100 - 125 miles from full to half tank and his car was an i4 not a v6 like mine. I provided the link so you could read through and see: https://www.nairaland.com/3388593/honda-accord-2006-gulps-fuel Going forward, i intend to reduce the force with which I accelerate, as i learnt it causes the car to burn more fuel. |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by alkadriyar(m): 6:54pm On Jun 06, 2020 |
DEXTROVERT:Is it on highway or with city combined? And please what's your average MPG? Mine does 28MPG on average without A/C. |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by sheu01: 3:43pm On Jun 07, 2020 |
anyibig: @ Anyibig, Have u resolved d problem |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by anyibig: 2:38pm On Jun 29, 2020 |
sheu01:Oohh yes... Sorry for the late reply, turns out the fuel I bought from Nnpc in okota Road lagos was rubbish, had to fill my tank again in petrocam again and I got 260miles when the fuel gauge was on empty. My friend said I can still drive it for another 10miles or so, but I don't want to risk damaging my fuel pump by avoiding it pumping dirts from the fuel tank. Also I fill my tank from E-F with ₦6,000 which is like 50ltrs of fuel. Don't know if that's a good fuel economy or I should be worried�� |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by anyibig: 2:44pm On Jun 29, 2020 |
Also I changed my oil and oil filter, I used the recommended 5w-30 full synthetic and also cleaned my engine air filter and cabin air filter. I also have my mechanic check my plugs and he said nothing is wronged with it, Infact it's still new, he just cleaned it and put it back. |
Re: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by eherbal(m): 6:37pm On Jun 29, 2020 |
alkadriyar:at 28mpg,you're doing well.thats over 60 miles on 10 litres,which equals 100km |
