2005 Nissan Pathfinder

I would appreciate any information in regard to this ride, especially fuel figures; from owners of the new model which currently exists only in North America. I think that the manufacturers ones are fairly conservative for a V6 4litre 200kw motor hauling over 2 tonnes. This model is due in Australia around Jun 05 and at the moment I'm impressed with the Xtrail but may wait for the larger SUV if reports are favourable.

I'm consistently getting 18-19 mpg. With mixed city and expressway driving.

Good luck,
Chris

I have owned mine for 2 months now (LE). City = 15-16 depending on if I jack rabbit my starts or not. Highway = 16.5 - 18.5 depending on if I drive 70-75 or 60-65. I have only driven 1500 miles all together, and in 2WD mode. I imagine you could do better on the highway if you drive 55. Hope this helps.
