Kaybaba5: Forgive me for I dont understand your question at all, but i will still chip in my solicited comment anyway. Assuming a litre of fuel is #159. You bought approximately 31.5 litres of fuel and used it for 2 weeks? Congrats on that anyway! The bone of contention now is that you covered only 81 kms - i will be back to provide insight when I fully understand your challenge. 2 Likes |

banky3w: Yes o. That’s horrible mileage for even a full sized utility truck. Unless there was massive idling with his air conditioning in full blast (the days are hot ![]() 2 Likes |

I usually prefer doing full tank (when the dispenser clicks once) to full tank. It's more accurate the reserve light can have a mind of its own. Check this thread https://www.nairaland.com/5924691/lets-track-compare-car-fuel 1 Like |
Re: Pls Calculate My Fuel Consumption by Kaybaba5(m): 6:01am On Nov 03, 2020 |
cluewebhost: If I should buy full thank, am afraid it might take me one month before it reaches reserve cos I covered short distance |
Re: Pls Calculate My Fuel Consumption by cluewebhost(m): 6:08am On Nov 03, 2020 |
Kaybaba5: No you fill the tank, drive for maybe a week and ask them to fill the tank again. Check the mileage difference and how many litres they put in. |
Re: Pls Calculate My Fuel Consumption by cluewebhost(m): 6:13am On Nov 03, 2020 |
You're doing about 2.6 miles per liter, roughly 10 mpg. It's very poor, I do more than double the miles on same fuel. |
Re: Pls Calculate My Fuel Consumption by Kaybaba5(m): 6:15am On Nov 03, 2020 |
cluewebhost: Thanks for your feedback But before I buy fuel to my car I always wait for reserve light to show and when it does that, I will enter filling station I buy 5k fuel at 160 per litre. So I just want to use it to calculate the fuel consumption |
Re: Pls Calculate My Fuel Consumption by cluewebhost(m): 6:23am On Nov 03, 2020 |
If your reserve light is accurate and you buy the second it comes up then that should work too. Kaybaba5: |

Kaybaba5:I think your odometer is calibrated in miles, which translates to 130.4km. Poor mpg nevertheless. Fuel quality and car condition is a key factor. 2 Likes |

checkmatez: I used that picture to show how my dashboard look like cos have read on nairaland asking about what is inside and outside the speedometer. Either miles, mpg or km |

Kaybaba5: there is lot information missing 1 we dont need the total price fuel you bought but how many litres were that 5000 naira? 2 Your travelling distance per day eg back & forth from work 3 Engine size 4 Any load during the trip 5 Average speed on that back & forth distance mpg are calculated as follows (number of litre per travelled distance at certain average speed) hence you find city average mpgs and highway average becoz the speed you drive at is major facter to mpgs calculation 1 Like |

So let's say OP works Monday to Friday. 10 days right. It takes OP 10 days to cover 81 miles. That's 8 miles per day. 4m miles to and 4 miles from. OP covers 4 miles in 15 minutes. That's an average speed of 16 mile an hour. You see where I am going with this? Average speed is the key here. OP hardly ever gets into 3rd gear let alone 4th gear where the engine is at its most fuel efficient. OP is often in second and first gear. Nothing is wrong with your car OP. Your route and short distance is the issue which results in very low average speeds and hence the seemingly poor mpg. Your car is fine. Honda ko Honda ni. Carry your Honda enter ejigbo by 6.00pm make I see where him go smell 20mpg. 3 Likes |

[quote author=Kaybaba5 post=95686893][/quote] Your car is okay. Just take her to the highway once in a while to blow out some carbon and thoroughly warm up that oil. Change your oil more frequently as this qualifies as severe driving conditions. |

sheu01: Did you know that a Chevrolet Corvette with a 6.2L V8 can actually get over 30 mpg? Now you know. Do with that information what you want. |
