Well just got to 48.4 mpg, not quite managed 50 yet, but still only done 250 miles so time yet

 

[Fee]

Its getting closer Kats!!!! .....

 

[glencairn]

is this obsesion with 50 mpg,any thing to do with an upcoming birthday of a like for like age,[just asking]

 

[Fee]

Kats .. is that town driving?....

My QQ 1.5 gets 39/42 in town, depending on weather

and 61MPG on a 85 mile journey Glasgow to Fife?

How does that compare to your Juke?...

Kats - it all depends on what shoes you are wearing

 

[Kats]

Hi Fee, it's 15 miles motorway and 15 miles town driving each day. I find the mpg is better in town than on the motorway xxx

 

[Fee]

Its a fair difference from the old diesel then eh..... good result Mrs.....

 

[Kats]

Woo hoo....... 50.5

Also have done 400 miles and filled up but car only took 36 litres, so 10 left in tank.

 

[Paul_S]

Congratulations!Now, stop driving like Miss Daisy and see how low you can get it

That's excellent news Tk, Deks stop reading this thread

 

[Deks]

just used the Juke again 8 mile journey looked at the trip its now averaging a whopping 36 mpg and to wind me up even more Nissan are running a QQ ad with claimed 62 combinedStill on the plus side when I swap it for the Nismo the mpg difference won't hurt so much

 

[Paul_S]

It's not miles per gallon, it's smiles per gallon

 

[Kats]

51.4, read it and weep.......

 

[Paul_S]

OK, serious question...So is there a mechanical difference or is it an ECU fix?i.e. a word with your Nissan dealer, a trip to Abbey Motorsport, or a bit of both?

 

[Deks]

Anyone with an early model will suffer with low MPG although Nissan won't accept there is a problemthey did send send tech support over from Spain last year to look at mine and Fee's butclaimed there wasnt an issue. Since then they bought fee's back off her at sale price. My poor mpg is in part down to its usage for which I accept so of the reason and to be honest I have now got to the stage of drving as I want rather than worrying about how much fuel it usesAt the end of the day I wouldnt have the 5 speed petrol as its box is pants and if I had the DIG it would only return me less than I get albeit a lot more fun I should say that mine does only door 4 miles to work then 4 miles back so therefore is barely warm when it gets to its destination. When it actually gets on a run its usually motorway and I dont drive at 60 mph so no saving there either.I reckon a tweek by Abbey or Litchfield could work and improve it though that would be £400 towards my NISMO
