i take its a diesel, all depends how you drive it. make sure its well serviced and the tyre pressures are correct

If its doing 8-10 mile trips, give it a good run down the m/way if you can

if its a derv check the air filter if its clogged get a new un

Thanks for your response. The car  is not driven agressively, its mainly my wife who drives it to into Glasgow and back Dual carriage/ motor ways most of the way circa 100+ mils. On a long run at 60-70 mph on the flat it returns 30 ish mph. any slight inclines on the journey brings it back to 27 ish mph.  Driving in the highlands of Scotland with fairly steep climbs rduces the mpg considerably. Towing a  horse or boat  trailer can reduce to around 20mph. Just been srviced which covers the items you suggest but no appreciable difference.

My wife and myself live in the South West of Cornwall and own a late 2008 Pathfinder Sport with 10,000 miles on the clock, the MPG we are getting is exactly the same as yours. We also have a caravan weighing in at 1430kg the MPG then is 26 on the Mway and 20 MPG in Cornwall. If you go over 2000 revs (60MPH) you will notice a big drop.

Thanks for your response. I have talked to a few owners now who all get much the same MPG as myself. So it seems that my neighbours MPG(36) is the exception (or exceptional driving technique) and ours is the norm.

Thanks again

 I drive a auto diesel aventura and i get around 27-28mpg.There are ways to improve the mpg ie using tunning chips but iam not sure whether it would be safe without damaging the injectors.It would be helpful if some one who had used it could advise on this.

I bought my '09 Pathfinder Aventura auto because the sales brochure and dealer salesman told me i would get around an average of 33mpg, Nissan specification says between 23 and 38mpg. My Disco 3 used to return around 30.
Mine only does 21 however i drive it, foot to the floor or gently in manual mode it never alters, Nissan say this is acceptable and within spec but as spec is 23 - 38 i find their attitude appaling.
There are lies, damned lies and Nissan fuel economy figures.

Hi
I have just bought a 55plate SVE 2.5 and brought it up from Derby to
Edinburgh 85% motorway with some A and B roads to get home just outside
Edinburgh. Cruise control the whole time on the motorway set at 75mph (
satnav indicating 70!!) and returned a good 36mpg over the 320miles.
I am well impressed with this as previously I have had a few series 2
Discoverys that would only get me around 28mpg if I was lucky.
My car has covered 60k with a full service history.

Hi.  This is my first post.  I am intrigued by the various MPG figures quoted here.  I bought my 05 plate sve Pathfinder brand new from my local Nissan dealer in Yorkshire.  I understand that it was the first PF sold in the north of England.  I have now covered 135k miles and have had no serious problems (I hope I am not tempting fate)  I too have a caravan and have towed extensively around France with my wife and 4 children.  The onboard computer states that my average MPG is 36.7 which I am more than happy with.  I have always replaced the Good Year Wrangler tyres with the same and have maintained a steady 30 psi.  Having said all this I have just developed a problem with the 'Fuel Pressure Regulator'  I am arranging to have it replaced tomorrow.  Has anyone else had the same problem?

Just checked the MPG on my  07 Diesel Pathfinder Trek and got 28 MPG on 2 X 200 mile runs at 70 ish. Had hoped for more.
