Just drove from Maple ridge BC to Lacey Washington and got 560 kms to my tank before the light came on on the way home. I also had the AC on about a third of the time. Not bad for an SUV I think.
Consumption: 560 kms - On a tank of gas

When you fill up, reset one of your trip meters to '0'. Next time you fill up, note the # of litres it took to fill the tank and the # of kms on your trip meter. To get l/100km, multiply # of litres by 100 and divide by # of kms. For example:
to refill tank: 53 litres
trip meter read: 535 kms
53x100 = 5300/535 = 9.91 l/100km
to convert it to mpg: 282/ l/100km or 282/9.91 = 28.46
to refill tank: 53 litres
trip meter read: 535 kms
53x100 = 5300/535 = 9.91 l/100km
to convert it to mpg: 282/ l/100km or 282/9.91 = 28.46

Cool fuel calculator! I made my own up in Excel that does about the same thing...I just input my kms & litres and it converts to mpg. Anyway, 2nd top up of 20 l or so and almost all in town, stop & start driving and I got about 24 mpg. Ok I guess, only 2 mpg less than the Transport Canada city rating and only about 700 km on the vehicle so far. 2nd run up to the cottage this weekend, this time with a kayak on top for the way up and I broke 30!
(30.2 mpg to be exact). Can't wait to try it with nothing on the roof and see what the improvement is, but overall, I'm quite happy.

Im only getting 400km before light comes on(around 10-11L left), but then its 90%city driving with a/c or heat...(and no, i dont do leadfoot, my mom drives the car most of the the time)
is there a problem ?? I called up my dealer and they say its ok....but when i see the figures u guys are getting, i think theres sthg wrong with mine......
everytime i do a calc, and it works out to 12-12.5L/100km...

I think the normal city driving for a standard (non modified xtrail) should be around 11-11.5L/100kms, the 12L/100kms is what I am currently getting with all the performance modifications I have on my exy and driving it like I stole it type of thing.
So, the 12.5LT you're getting is a bit high but then again, the fuel consumption is also dependant on climate and other factors, so you should only be comparing it against figures of other drivers in your area (country).
Higher fuel consumption figures could be attributed to many things, some of which includes:
1. Dirty Throttle Body (due to city driving)
2. Dirty Fuel Injectors.
3. Sub-quality fuel
4. Dirty Air Filter
Check that all of the above are OK and use the Fuel Injector Cleaner for a couple of fuel tanks and see if that would improve the fuel economy.

Hey guys - sorry about resurrecting an ooolllddd thread...but couldn't help but wonder what the .. is the problem with my XT....I live in Trinidad, and have an XTrail with the QR20DE motor. I am totally baffled about my consumption now....I consistently get about 12-15 L/100 km depending on my driving style!!! It's only now doing about 23000 km, and the air filter was replaced with an OEM one at 16000km. Most of my drive is with very little load, and I would say about 75% city drive / 25% highway, a/c on most of the time.. But I usually drive it damn hard on the highway....normally cruising at 130+ Kph, and alot of quick acceleration when I'm trying to meander through highway traffic...
After reading this thread...even with my driving style / conditions, I should still get alot better consumption....???
Other than these:
1. Dirty Throttle Body (due to city driving)
2. Dirty Fuel Injectors.
3. Sub-quality fuel
4. Dirty Air Filter
What else should I check on?
Incidentally, I get about the same consumption on my P11 Primera (with GTi-R SR20DET), and used to get about the same with my old '97 Honda Accord (F20B2 motor). All with our "premium unleaded" which I think is about ~98 octane....
Any thoughts?

x-trail gas millage
Just picked up a mint 06 a few weeks ago. We packed it up for a camping trip last weekend from Calgary to Jasper not knowing what kind of millage my x-trail would get. Full tank 50$ (needle past F),drove the speed limit on 2 w\d setting and was shocked to arrive in Jasper,400 km later, with a little over half a tank left. I filled it up after a few more days of driving at 620Km and the low fuel light had still not come on. I know the low fuel light works because I have seen it since then. I have read once the light goes on, you can still drive around 100 km on reserve. This would put me over the 700k mark on a full tank. Has anyone else recorded this kind of millage with this vehicle?

X-Trail fuel economy
I bought a 2006 Bonavista in early August and made the trip to Salmon Arm, BC from Edmonton, AB down the #2, through Banff on the #1. Plenty 'o hills on that route. I kept my speed @110 km/h when I could. With 3 adults and a dog and all of our stuff I got @640 km before the light came on and filled with 52 litres of plain ol' 87 octane. The cruise held steady on all of the hills and I had the a/c on much o' the time. By my calculations I get 29 mpg hwy. Driving in the city I get 21-23 mpg with a mix o' hwy and local roads. I use the US gallon which = 3.79 litres and the mile which = 1.609 km. I have seen other people using the Imperial gallon and improper km - mile conversions to calculate this which would of course yield a more impressive looking mpg figure.

480?? MPH?
I've gotten 700km out of my puppy..2 times... many times over 650KM
That's all highway mileage w/o AC
I routinely get 550 to 575 KM
In winter this drops by about 15%
My litres/100km. you can do the math yourself for the mpg.

It would be helpful to find out how did you manage to get as low as 8.63L/100kms and as high as 15.01L/100kms. What was the contributing factor to these readings?
Yes, the funny thing is that the 15.01 and the 8.93 are actually related. I had to fill up early on the one tank and forgot to account for that, then I tacked on the extra fill up to the one reading just so I wouldn't lose it 
Sorry.
Most of the swings you see in the data are due to winter and summer. Most of the readings are about 2 weeks apart. During the summer I tow a couple of motorcycles for racing. Almost all of my driving is done in city. The first reading taken is essentially the start of january last year.
