Hmmm, I can get 32 relatively easy from mine, I was kinda hoping that someone has experienced more! Say 65 mph steady motorway?

what a whole 8mpg diff where u could run the old 2.7 on svo round about 96p a litre and that works out roughly 42mpg cost wise not the amount of fuel if that makes senses

And if you look around the wonderful economy of the 3.0 is largely mythical, Nissan's own figures and UK government figures say the two engine have pretty much the same MPG. Bu lots of things can affect MPG : headwind, tailwind, fuel quality, inclines on roads, driving style, tyres fitted, tyre circumference etc. etc.

That is without mentioning, the accuracy of the forecourt fuel pump (which can be 5% out by law) and the method used to calculate mileage.

Most of the 3.0s seem to be running on 17 inch rims this could be the main difference - the same speedo and a slightly different tyre size giving a different MPG figure :nenau

So that means the 2.7 will do around the mid 20's then, Hmm :augie:augie
