Re:
You are wasting your time with Nissan, they will tell you it's within specs.
The gauge is there as a guide only and should not be taken as gospel.
Different driving conditions, road surfaces, inclines, descents, corners and even the driver affect fuel usage.

Re: T31 Diesel Fuel Consumption
Got the 10,000km service done, and described what I was doing, re-set the monitor, trip meter, average speed, etc, every fill up, and the service guy said, very quickly, "Stop doing that". Apparently, the new fangled versions don't just go off fuel used vs distance travelled, they are trying to be tricky by including average speed over many '000s of kms.
So he suggested not re-setting anything and assuring me it will get closer to actual consumption.
He's got 10 weeks before the next service, so if it is still 10% out, I am gonna start making noise.

Re:
The main reason behind setting this one up was the ability of all forum members to compare their fuel consumption against others.

Re: T31 Diesel Fuel Consumption
Hi Exers,
Took our new T31 TL Auto up the hill to Lithgow and back yesterday.
350k's on the clock.
Consumption meter was telling me 9.2 on the way up and 8.5 coming back.
Motor still tight so hoping for future improvements.
Cheers,
Phil

Re: T31 Diesel Fuel Consumption
After 1000k it's now reading 8.0. So a steady improvement.
Cheers,
