NV200 Fuel Economy So Far

[VanMan]

Hello All - any NV200 owners out there with fuel economy to report? I have several people asking me - Obviously the sticker says 24/25 but I have been hearing as high as 27-28 and as low as 22. Anyone feel like contributing?

Lol...I hope members don't get confused by our usernames.

I have had my NV200 a week and I have averaged 21.8 mpg. That's mostly city driving

Hello, Just signed up. I've had my NV 200 4 months. I'm getting 28 hwy and 23 mpg city.   

Not hauling much maybe 500lbs. Good van so far, Wish I had the diesel manual 5 speed like in Europe.

I know dream on.. Cheers..

On a couple of trips to Portland airport, we averaged 28.5 mpg

Here are the numbers from last December for the fleet of 20+ NV200s that I manage. Conditions: vans are loaded close to the GVWR, city and freeway combined driving, lot's of stops, ambient temperatures the 40s, no snow.

 

NV200 gasoline powered:  22.42 mpg  (based on 20+ vehicles and 110 fuel transactions)

I just looked at February data for the 20+ gasoline powered NV200s that I manage:

 

Conditions: vans loaded close to the GVWR, city and freeway combined driving, many stops, ambient temperatures the mid 30s to 40s, light snow for 2-3 days, 130 fuel transactions.

 

Fuel economy:  22.82 mpg

I drive mostly higher speed highway, my 2017 has about 39,000 miles.

I haven't checked it for a couple weeks, but it was most always over 27 mpg, seen 28.5, I believe 29.x once.

Its always over 27, even when driving 70-75 mph. Not usually heavily loaded.

Very happy with these numbers.

I've had my van for about a month and I've been averaging 18 to 22 miles per gallon except for the one day that I took a big road trip I got up to 24 mpg.

 

Here's why everyone's gas mileage is much lower than advertised for Nissan nv200s. There's a torque converter that steals your RPMs to give you more torque. The faster you accelerate, the more RPMs are put into tour instead of turning the wheels directly like every other vehicle. I think you have to keep your RPMs slow when accelerating or they just get converted to torque and you waste RPMs and therefore waste gas.
