Fuel consumption on 2014 Y61 ST Patrol 3.0 TD

[threedogs]

at the Doctors today I was reading a piece on best 10 towing 4x4s, {i take all my old mags there}
anyway a CRD towing 2 tonne returned figures of 18ltrs per 100 Ks

Thanks fellas for all the discussion. Have filled tank twice since original post putting in 80 litres both times. Result 498klms and 493 klms respectively. Been trying to keep engine revs above 2000. Taking vehicle for long drive next week to see if that improves the situation. Got 2000k's on clock now.

Latest update from mostly a range of driving styles/environments

Without starting a new thread.. To those with scangauge 2. Has this ever happened to you?
I filled up, went to press the fill up button on the scan gauge as I normally do. And this is the initial number of liters I got. So I had to sit there and make it go down to 110l which mind you took a while. .. Any guesses ??

This thing has done it to me again. I'm guessing faulty ScanGauge... If I reset it completely I will lose all settings and data collected this far.
Very annoying.

Thanks for responses. To answer them .... Driving has mostly been around town, some stop/start the rest driving 10-20k's without stop.

I know the noise relates to the turbo charger as the mechanic disengaged the small rubber hose from it and the noise stopped straight away. However he could not explain it, hence recording the noise and sending it off to Nissan. I guess my first concern is really the fuel used as even for running around town I would have expected 20% better. Bit alarming really.

Thanks

mine did this exactly the same I was thinking turbo as well but it was exhaust manifold leak as well as flange under turbo. may isay try listening with a screw driver or hose around the exhaust manifold and or use some talcum powder and see if it blows.

Got the best economy I've ever recorded this morning.

800 when light came up, so about 14l left in tank. I'm impressed.

auto/manual and what size tyres please
I take it thats both tanks OE size

[Hodge]

Both tanks OE mate. 95 and 30. Running on 33" tyres.

I should have said best recorded since roof rack and awning went up. I used to get much more. Roof rack dragged it down immensely.

Still not bad I found a roof rack will drag about 30-40ks per tank, sound right to you

Yeah this is not bad I think. These Ks are roughly 60% highway, 40% , usual city driving below 70 etc...
