  1. Last Feb I bought a NEW NV 2500HD SV V8 with tech package glass and tow cost $32,000 It was the worst decision of my entire life it was a low top 1St mistake I was looking for mileage and downsizing Big mistake I had a Super good Sprinter high top that got 24 mpg this PIG started out at 10 mpg when I drove it for over 6000 miles it averaged 12 mpg I had a ladder rack on top I took that off and the ladders and got ladders that fit inside the tiny box (I had shelfing and bulkhead) it picked the mileage up at highway speeds a few mpg but only on the highway. I knew I made a huge mistake leasing this and after the first week and for months I tryed everthing to get rid of it, Of course the dealer never told me you would loose 10,000 dollars geting out of the lease. I hated the truck the thing was a pig always shifting down motor screaming no wonder it got terrible fuel mileage, I put it on swap a lease dot com. for months no luck kept lowering leasing by adding insentives NO LUCK. Went to a lot of SPRINTER dealers NO one could give me much because a flood of them at the auctions bring no money $14,000 to $16,000 that is 1/2 of what I paid in the lease looks like I was not the only one that HATED this PIG. I did trade it in on a leftover sprinter a BIG 170wb hightop 3500 dual wheels IT gets average 18 MPG loaded and more on the highway almost 20 mpg. I DID LOOSE $10,000, in the process, and for 6400 miles I drove it was a bad mistake Nissan blew it I will never buy anthing from them again ever. MY SUGGESTION DO NOT BUY ONE IF YOU ARE LOOKING for a few more $ you will recover in a short time buy a SPRINTER. I am now happy I got 7,500 miles on the sprinter and love it.
  2. What is the mileage now that you have had it a while My NV2500 with the 5.6 V8 sucks 10 to 12 MPG average Highway 70% It was aways that way, Easy on the power also some equipment inside and ladder rack with ladders on it. I hate it.
  3. Had a sprinter van year 2004 it got 22 miles pre gal but was having trouble with it Trans, Electrical ect. got rid of it and bought a NV2500 low top 5.6 engine, BAD IDEA not even close to the mileage Best I got so far 12.5 MPG icc that was average for a tank full. With a lot of highway. Around town it is between 10 and 11 Yuck. I have a ladder rack on and do haul some weight but I had a lot more in my sprinter and it was a high top with ladder rack on it. I had a OLD 1992 Chevy 1.5 ton Dump truck 4WD with a 454 V8 it got better mileage. I hate this thing what a disapointment WTF is going on, I talked to a few Titan owners with the same Engine and they told me their mileage was around 12 also. Anybody have any luck improving mileage, does anybody get more? HELP I am stuck with the lease and would loose 8,500 to get out of it.
