Yeh he's on the mark, I average 30 round town and have recorded upto 37 on a sensible run - 35 at motorway speeds. That's a manual btw, I assume auto would be a bit lower.

Can see those figure being true if you take it easy, can get 32-33 out of mine on a long run sticking to 55-60mph but only got 28mpg out of my last one but I drove that faster & harder but around the doors i'd say you would get around 25-26mpg from the 3L

Interesting: government fuel efficiency figures claim the same MPG for the 2.7 and the 3.0 and so do Nissan (can't remember where I read that though) I have noticed the slight performance difference is most probably down to axel ratios, but all the failed axels and diffs I have see are on the 3.0. personally I prefer the 2.7 :thumb2

I always work out my mpg figures by brimming the tank then when refilling noting the litres to re-brim the tank and the miles covered which I understand is the most accurate way to do it. Regularly get 35mpg, and the time I measured 37mpg was a drive between high wycombe and Anglesey mixed motorway and A-Roads through Snowdonia. Didn't refill till cannock on the way back and still had 1/4 of a tank!

my speedo and odo are out due to big wheels n tyres
and quite frankly. I didn't buy it to be economical:naughty

Hi Guys,

I have the R20 T2 3.00ltr, and I manage to get 27 mpg around the lanes and roads here.
On a motorway cruise at 65/70 mph I can get approx 30-32 mpg.
I am not unhappy with this fuel consumption, its a big 4x4 auto box, with a large engine, but to me it seems acceptable.

From my 2005 Terrano brochure for the 5 door manuals 2.7 should give (urban/extra urban/combined) 23.5/32.5/28.5mpg and the 3.0 23.9/37.2/31mpg.

My 3.0 returns 32 to 35 mpg once had 43mpg but that was cruising round Norway at a steady 50 ish..
