You will find that all of the reported by Nissan fuel consumption estimates (and other manufacturers use exactly the same guidelines) are based on GVG measure, which is the Green Vehicle Guide taken from ADR81/01.

Details of the above can be found HERE

In reality, the fuel consumption figures will depend on your style of driving, road conditions and how many passengers and/or load are you carrying. For city type of driving in a new car, 11.7LT/100kms is pretty much spot on. You will find that consumption will reduce as the engine gets run-in (not that is needs any run-in period) and settles.

I guess what surprised me was that it seemed to stay on approx. 12.5 city driving but only dropped to approx. 11.5 on the highway. By the way I'm impressed at the effort you put into this forum.

Next time you fill-up note down the trip meter reading and the number of litres you put in the tank. Always zero your trip meter to get an accurate reading and you can then compare it to the computer reading you're getting. I don't think the on-board fuel consumption indicator is accurate as it takes driving conditions and any sudden surges.

P.S. Thanks for your kind comment emoticon

Re: T-31 Consumption Indicator.


It may be of benifit to note that the fuel consumption figure is an average of the whole driving the car has done unless you reset it [ by holding down the reset button while on the fuel consumption figure ]
Therefore if the majority of the driving is done in the city then obviously the total fuel consumption will be resembling that of the city running and not highway usage.
I reset mine at the start of a trip to get a more accurate figure, like we went to orange last weekend and averaged 9l/ 100km but now its home and driving backwards and forwards to work it has returned to 11ish

Does this make sense or should I re-write?

No it makes sense, unless I'm equally as bad as you emoticon

Brad is right - it takes into account all the mileage you have done since it was last reset. If you reset it each time you fill up it should show a much closer figure to what you expect.

Alternatively - if you keep it going it should give you an average figure since you've owned it. The same system in my Triton is showing me an average use of 9.3L/100km whereas if I average my fuel consumption for the last 15 tank fills - I get around 9.1L/100km so it isn't too far off.

Re: T-31 Consumption Indicator.


On a not so recent trip I had readings down to 7.7l/100k , normally running at 8.9l/100k highway driving . City driving can range between 9.3l/100k and 11.5l/100k depending on how much idleing is done and if I switch the engine on and off frequently . The read out seems to change every two to three kilometers of driving .

Mr T, how old's your vehicle? While the Nissan dealer didn't specifically mention it when I picked mine up, my last couple of Fords have had consumption meters, and the delivering dealers have always cauthioned that it would take a couple of fills and resets to calibrate the meter reliably.

It is 2 months old . Ti - CVT. I think my question has been answered ..... reset the display prior to trip or different drive condition to be checked .
