Fuel economy

Sounds about right to me. A mate of mine normaly gets around 1100 per both tanks just normal driving not loaded up or towing

Sounds about right to me also. Towing a Jayco Eagle outback in just about any conditions (into head winds, Hilly, etc) The worst I have had yet is around 15lts/100kms. We usually tow at about 90-100km/h on the bitumen......... Not towing I get around 11-12ltrs/100kms

Hi there

We just finished a trip to Albany and back, did 1296kms. We have gas injection on the truck so worked out at approximately 14.7 / 100kms. That was towing a camper weighing around 800 - 900 loaded I guess.

Sat on 90 - 95 kms most of the trip and only did about 200 kms total without the camper attached.

I am very happy with those figures considering the additional power I get from the gas injection as well. Dont know about the 2002 Patrol, but I have a 2003 and it holds 125 lt between both tanks.

Dear Nissan Owner

Try lowering the GCM by leaving SWMBO home or somewhere.

You will be surprised the difference it makes.

Less Noise

Less Stress

Less Orders

Less Everything actually.

As to whether or not it affects the fuel consumption is esoteric, as you will be having such a good time, that fuel consumption won't be on the 'consideration/worry/concern radar'.

I managed the magic 10/100 once in NT with just the two of us in and A/C on running at around 100Kph.
Usually 11s on trips 15 to 16 towing tandem van. 12 to 13 around town average.
Mine is an auto series three with the little chip thing in.

without wanting to kick off the toynissan crap, why do 3.0's get such crap economy? Even since common rail was fitted?
Look at the published data for 3.0 (<120kw) and the 1HD-FTE (151kw and lots more torque) and I think the 4.2 is slightly better. This is using the government comparison, meaningless on its own but a common standard.
Thats without looking at the V8 diesel which is slightly better than the 4.2.

Hi ya AG10
your fuel economy is spot on average..
That is to depending on what modifications you've done to your vehicle.
OME fuel tank sizes for the Patrol GUs are main 95L & aux 30L, which equals 125L total, so if your getting 12.5L/100k that's excellent(p.s. you don't actually use all the fuel from a tank, that maybe somewhere between 1 1/2 to 3 litres of fuel left in the tanks).

So if you have a suspension lift you get an increase in fuel consumption.

If you have an increase in tyre size you get an increase in fuel consumption.

Depending on how much accessorizing you've done to you rig you get an increase in fuel consumption.

& what ever you tow you get an increase in fuel consumption.

So I'd be happy with what your getting & enjoy the freedom it bring you

Cheers
