car burning oil and fuel like crazy

Car is consuming around 40 usd daily and I only drive around about 35 miles a day. Also leaking oil sucks because there are almost zero qualified techs in panama

ok im not sure what it could be but the idle is rough which could be the icv but the fuel consumption have no clue what it is.

The oil consumption could be the crank case seals.

If you're consuming $40 per day running at $3 gallon for 93 octane (my current local price) that is 13 gallons at 35 miles that is less than 3 miles per gallon, you have a leak, I don't see how that is possible unless one of 3 of your injectors are just dumping fuel into the cosmos of you have a fuel line cut.

Do you have a wideband? What is your afr? Any check engine lights? Can you log it? When did this start? Where is the oil leaking OR is it just consuming alot? If so how much?

Ok,

Your saying your feul consumption is ridiculous due to the fact that it cots you 40 bucks a day to drive 35 miles. Have you had any mods done to the car? Have you had the car tuned before? what did the previous owner had done to the car if anything? Do you have aftermarket fuel pump, inyectors regulator, fuel rail?? is the car LEAKING fuel?

Now for the oil, you say it sucks well we know that. Now, is the car leaking oil? how do you know is leaking oil? is it leaking it OR burning it? hows the car emission when idiling( does it smokes a lot? black bluish)??

There are amny many reasons why this can be happening however if you dont elaborate on it theres little to nothing that we can help you with.

Hope evertyhing works out man. Help us help you.
