Sebasmartinez Posted October 1, 2023 Hello everyone! have a question, can’t seem to figure out why…. I have a 2016 NV 1500 and a 2012 NV 2500 standard roof in my workplace . They both have the 4.0 engine. 2016 has 60K mikes 2012 has 110K miles regular maintenance @ Nissan dealer question is MPG’s…. the 2016 1500 gets about 14…16…. MPG , reading off the vehicle computer 2012 2500 gets about 9… 11…. MPG, reading off the vehicle computer Based off a weeks use, same conditions I notice this also in the fuel gauge…. Again, i have been using these since new….. I’ve searched but haven’t been successful… can’t figure out why…. does anyone have an idea? Or know what it consumes more fuel? Should I do any particular maintenance item to help improve this? thanks in advance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted October 1, 2023 Slightly different NVs. 1/4 ton vs 1/2 ton. (Crusty will weigh in on this. Pun intended.) A few reports of 17+ mpg for both the V6 1500 and 2500. Generally speaking you get what you get and the dealer probably will tell you this is normal. Assume dealer has been doing routine and recommended maintenance. 1500 mpg seems ok. Suppose you could fill the 2500 tank and gingerly drive it “cargo” empty for a a 1/4 tank. Won’t take long at 9-11 mpg. Refill it and do paper calculation. Ignore the computer. You may want to check the Frontier forum to see if there are relevant problems or solutions. 1 Sebasmartinez reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
