Testing the future
check out this porsche and the 'official' figures that it has:
http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/01/p...mpg-hits-62-m/
Looking a bit like a Carrera GT evolved, the 918 Spyder is powered by both a 500-horsepower V8 and a pair of electric motors (one for each axle) producing an additional 218 hp or 160kW. At full gallop, the concept can theoretically reach 62 mph in 3.2 seconds and nip 198 mph on the high end. On the flip side, Porsche says it can also achieve 78 miles per gallon and emit just 70 grams of CO2 per kilometer

Chop,
The wife has a qashqai 1.5 and it does about 47 mpg day to day town driving.
Had a qashqai plus 2 as a demo myself for a month and that unfortunately was worse on fuel, was doing 40 mpg at a steady 60-70 on a 60 mile/day drive. When i was doing town driving on the day off it was down to 37mpg.
Probably worse cause its heavier.
With the price of fuel going up it can only get worse lol

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
my mum had sad a scenic 15 diesel, same engine as you nissan,
was crap on diesel for first 6 months then it did stat to get better bit at a time
sure by time she got rid of it, was doing 50+mpg, started in the 20's
so it did massively get better on fuel the more it got used
never had a masive milleage on it, 16k when it went at 3 yrs old
so prob looking at 5-6k before it started getting half decent so maybe just to early to tell yet

Chop,
Only one solution for you here and thats to buy my big Audi bus. Drive that for a week and your qaushcar will look brilliant on the mpg.
Was tipping 14mpg dropping to around 8mpg the other week in the snow

If i emptied out some of the crap i'd probably gain a few more mpg's Chop,

I could live with 37 minimum but I feel like there's NO chance of that right now! 47 like your wife would be great!
Haha Paul I'll pass thanks! Even though I could comfortably fit more people in the Audi bus!
