madmax Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Fuzzo, there's a general opnion amongst most ppl that Nissan vehicles are comparatively bad on fuel. And we have quite a few examples also. The March is bad compared to the Starlet, so is the FB 15 Sunny compared to a Corolla. Maybe it's the same scenario with the XTrail... BTW how much did your Rav4 do? If you're concerned about fuel economy get a Diesel, coz the Petrol prices are to go up by Rs 4 very soon. I just switched to a diesel and I'm loving it. I get 14 per litre, and guess what, that's with the turbo spinning all the way from 1500RPM and a Front Mount Intercooler!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeem35 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 my friend's dads Landcruiser Cygnus does 5 per litre it has a 5.8 V8 engine.. lol.. wanna share somethin.. the cygnus has met an accident so from V*P they have given a S Class merc temporarily.. the next day the car was missing at his place.. I asked him what happend to the merc?? lol his dad has returned it because it only does 2 per litre .. after that they have given a Montero.. each head light costs around 50,000.. it was out of stock.. so in some shit place they have asked 100,000 for 1 head light.. afterwards they imported the headlights from Singapore.. hmm how much does it cost for key cutting for a vehicle like cygnus?? which has internal cuts.. I heard its really expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even try the 5th. Tried to overtake a guy while one the third, and about 2 seconds later, pulled back in behind him, coz the car aint going anywhere Tach needle just doesn't move on the 4th. But it is wonderful for cruising. I was doing 120 down CBK, smooth, no vibration, no noise (Of course, it's noisy when outside the car) Great grip too, I was trying to shake it down millennium drive with the ASC off, but great grip. Of course, it has monstrous tires. Will post pics soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadaffi Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 If the car is a JDM and imported to SL you might have to get the ECU remapped for the lower octance fuel in SL, I think in Japan they use like 100 ron petrol?! Or you could just run it on super unleaded and see if you notice a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the old warranty that would have been given would not have been violated. By the way the warranty given would have been comprehensive for 5 years!

sharkster Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 speaking of octane numbers...2 days ago i saw a brand new montero 3.8 V6 being pumped with 90 octane petrol...isnt that suicidal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMG Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 milinda said: anyone knows the octane and cetane number of petrol and diesel we use in SL The normal petrol which you buy for Rs80.00 per litre has the octane of 90 and the super petrol is 95. ( In the UK, Normal Unleaded 95 and Super Unleaded 97 or 98). No idea about the diesel in SL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
