Fuel Consumption in Nigeria — 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.
