Thats the old D22 Navaras not the new D40 mk1&2s.

i have done the Middle Lands and back this yesterday and looking to get circa 500 miles outta the tank, Not sure of the mpg as I haven't reset the obc for a while. It is reading 33mpg at the moment

If you can get 35 mpg out of a d22 I would keep it. I bought a new one on 52 plate it did 25mpg it did not really matter as it spent most of its 18 months at the dealers luckily I kept my disco van and went back to it for 3 years after I sold the Nissan.

I've got a D40 Steve - about 3800 miles on the clock now.

 

Had to nip out to the workshop and back to check on something - now up to 36mpg showing (160 miles into the tank).

 

I know as soon as I have to do anything on motorways/in town/with a trailer, it's going to drop though

 

I think with most common rail engines the injection sys is so good it can give you excellent economy or incredible performance but you cant have both. With a light foot you get good fuel economy but it just feels so nice planting that right foot

Too late its gone. I do miss it and its great fuel economy. I'm getting about 520 miles out the tank so around 31-33 mpg on AT2 with an open pickup bed.

I have a 57 plate, I generally get about 26mpg out of mine, drive at 55mph and I can get 38mpg, towing it's down to 17-19mpg! £101 to fill the tank the other day, I got 380 miles out that tank! It's a very thirsty truck, or it seems it when I fill it almost once a week!

How accurate do you reckon the onboard computers are? I've got a D40 with 750 miles on the clock's telling me I'm getting 31.4 mpg and I reckoned to be getting 25-26mpg from my 57 plate D40 when it went: I'm doing everything a gear higher with the new truck (more bhp these days). I am surprised to see folk apparently getting over 30mpg for anything more than the shortest periods of time: I just don't understand where mpgs well into the 30s come from.

Cruising at 60mph on motorways/dual carriageways and 50mph on single carriageway roads. Never, ever using the brake, and coasting in gear as much as possible.

 

Sure, but they're the 'for the shortest periods of time' I mentioned. An overall mpg of 30+ seems optimistic is my point.

Don't get me wrong; I have no problem with what my vehicle's giving me, I'm just surprised at some the mileages being quoted, that's all.

Perhaps I need to do some more careful calculations on my own truck...

You might be surprised what is attainable. I'm now 202 miles into this tank, with quite a bit of light towing yesterday, and have 35.0 mpg showing. My colleague has a Hilux HL2 and got 36.7 mpg on a recent trip up to the Highlands.

 

The Hilux d4d engine from about 2002 was good on fuel. We have a 1998 turbo and it does 23 mpg around town and less on a run. But its a good reliable truck for sending 2 cu meters 5 miles.

I do 25 miles each way to work half of that is dual carriageway/motorway the rest B roads all about a 40 limit. So with a bit of eco driving i get the best combination of roads for fuel economey. If i did a lot of driving around town i would get much less.

 

Also in 4wd low 1 driving around the wet boggy fields to some woods i work in then mpg does go down to about 18, then thats dragged up by the motorway trek there and back
