One of the priciest cars on Kenyan roads is a Toyota V8. There is a general impression that this car is prohibitively expensive because of its high fuel consumption and regular upkeep. Vehicle manufacturers are constantly thinking of innovative methods to better serve their customers. The Toyota V8 gets its moniker from its eight-piston cylinder configuration. Because of this, the engine is powerful yet has a high mach fuel requirement.
In the past few years, the Toyota V8 and the Subaru have been recognised as the vehicles with the highest fuel consumption. Constant regulations and a high tariff on gas guzzlers are in place in Kenya. That's why the focus these days is on producing fuel-efficient automobiles at the majority of automakers. Customers are more likely to buy a car if it has low fuel costs and is easy to maintain, so this strategy could help boost sales.
The average fuel economy for a 2017 Toyota v8 is 14.4 litres per 100 kilometres. This equates to a fuel consumption of 7.2 litres per 50 kilometres driven. In the context of other cars on Kenyan roads, this seems a bit steep. In a standard 100-kilometer test, most automobiles averaged a consumption of 8 litres. This means that the fuel consumption of a Toyota V8 is roughly 6 litres more than that of other automobiles.
Since the fuel price increase, so many individuals have felt the effects.
Numerous people have been compelled to abandon their cars in favour of public transportation. Those who have maintained their V8 status indicate a willingness to spend more on a life of luxury. You can calculate the daily fuel cost for a person who drives 50 kilometres to work with this vehicle.
If you have any, please pass them along.
