City vs Highway
Real-world fuel consumption in Nigeria — particularly in Lagos — is consistently 25–40% higher than manufacturer highway figures. Lagos traffic, frequent stops, aggressive acceleration, and idling in go-slow conditions all increase fuel burn significantly above spec sheet numbers.
A Toyota Camry rated at 7.2L/100km on the highway typically consumes 10.5–13L/100km in Lekki–VI–Surulere traffic. Use the City mode for Lagos or Abuja inner-city trip planning.
Fuel prices in Nigeria are deregulated and volatile. The pump price slider covers ₦500–₦2,000 per litre to account for the current price band and future increases. Petrol subsidies were removed in 2023 and prices now track exchange rate movements.
For long-distance trips, highway figures are more accurate. The Lagos–Abuja route (791km) is predominantly highway outside city exits. A Lexus RX 350 needs approximately 75 litres — a full tank won't cover it without a refill at Ore or Lokoja.
| Model | City L/100km | Hwy L/100km | Tank (L) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Camry 2.5 (2012–2017) | 10.5 | 7.2 | 70 |
| Honda Accord 2.4 (2013–2017) | 10.0 | 7.0 | 65 |
| Toyota Highlander 3.5 (2014–2019) | 13.5 | 9.8 | 72 |
| Lexus RX 350 (2016–2022) | 12.5 | 9.0 | 72 |
| Toyota Land Cruiser 4.6 V8 | 18.5 | 13.5 | 93 |
| Honda CR-V 2.4 | 10.5 | 7.8 | 58 |
| Toyota Corolla 1.8 (2014–2019) | 9.2 | 6.5 | 50 |
| Mercedes-Benz C 300 (W205) | 11.8 | 8.2 | 66 |

| Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6 | 14.5 | 10.8 | 83 |
A Toyota Camry 2.5 (2012–2017) uses approximately 10.5L/100km in city driving and 7.2L/100km on the highway. In Lagos traffic, real-world consumption is typically 11–13L/100km.
The Lagos–Abuja distance is approximately 791km. A Toyota Camry 2.5 at highway consumption (7.2L/100km) needs about 57 litres. At ₦1,000/litre, that is approximately ₦57,000 in fuel.
A Lexus RX 350 (2016–2022) uses approximately 12.5L/100km in city driving and 9.0L/100km on the highway, with a 72-litre tank. A Lagos–Abuja trip on highway would require approximately 71 litres — needing a refuel en route.
Manufacturer fuel consumption figures are measured under controlled conditions. Nigerian conditions — Lagos traffic, frequent hard braking, hot weather, air conditioning use, and road quality — typically increase real-world consumption 25–40% above official figures.
