The only way it would burn that much fuel is if it were injecting it into the cylinders. That would cause a massive problem with your exhaust system and cause a check engine light because it would be running very rich.
Are there any other problems?
It sounds almost like you have a fuel leak, but that shouldn’t be possible.
The fuel system automatically pressurizes and tests the fuel system for leaks. If there were a leak, that’s when the check engine light comes on.
I’d take it back to the dealer and have them re-verify the work they did before. You could also take it to a third party or auto parts store and ask them to check for set codes. Not all codes set a fault light, so you might get an idea from that.
He just wants your money. Toyota makes very durable gear, even if the infotainment software is a little glitchy sometimes.
If it is in your lease that you have to disclose it, disclose it. Not doing so could cause you hardship in the future.
If it isn’t in your lease, don’t.
If the work was done at a Toyota dealer or reputable body shop, it’s going to be reported on CarFax and the Toyota website, anyway. Even if it’s not on CarFax, the dealer mechanics will know. It’s easy to spot a replacement windshield or body panels most of the time.
Either way, don’t worry about it. When your lease is up, it’s up.
I wanted a Crown sports car, but… 😞
If you want your car to last for a long time, do your oil changes every 5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first.
You can save a lot of money by doing your oil changes and basic maintenance yourself in your driveway. An oil change only takes about an hour for a novice.
Go on to YouTube and look up The Car Care Nut maintenance. He is a Toyota Master Mechanic and makes videos about how you can save money and take care of your vehicle.
I hope you tag the dealership with this picture. Put it in their Google reviews on Google maps.
If Toyota sends you a survey, make sure to tell them about this too. They hate anything that makes them look bad and they can penalize the dealership.
I thought it was funny looking at first, but the Toyota Crown has really grown on me. I’ve gotten about 42 to45 MPG on my last four tanks of gas.
A new Corolla if you want it to be Toyota. A Nissan Versa is a good alternative because it’s cheaper, but with Nissan Prices come Nissan quality.
