- Time to get some hard numbers for all you long-distance tourers out there: exactly how much fuel does the Y62 Nissan Patrol REALLY burn when out on the highway?
- Авто та транспорт
The note on fuel door at 2:34 recommends 98 RON and you fuelled up with 91. While it'll detune itself and run fine on 91, perhaps the trip computer doesnt factor in people not heeding this advice.
I noticed that too, it says very clearly to use 98.
It says, for best performance use 98. We use from e10 to 98 in ours, can't tell the difference except in the wallet @lukeboneham
Pretty surprised that you've only got 640 subs considering the level of production quality you show in this video.
Whelp, i'll sub and wish you the best! I hope to see more quality videos like this. Cheers!
Thanks mate, I appreciate it! It's still early days for this channel, so thanks for the show of support - I'm just glad you got something out of the video!
This car is very beautiful. In a word that cannot be compared.
Nice video. Remember me when you get to a million subscribers.
i tow a 3500kg off road tandem caravan with a 2022 y62- i get 22l per 100 average all over australia--- its amazing as a tow rig--- way better than my 2oo series that uses 25l per 100 towing, ill never sell the v8 petrol--- its awesome
If you were getting 25L/100km in your 200, you were doing something wrong.
Either you had bigger tires, carrying a heavier load or you had injector issues.
I get 19.5L/100km towing our 22'6" triple Bunk offroad van. Given I have a lockup kit and an engine tune on the 200 which changes outputs to 200Kw and 775Nm at the wheels on 33" mud tyres.
@@1989cranston he is right, i had a 200 series and it used more fuel than my y62 towing-- the y62 is better on fuel than the v8 diesel which used about 24 to 26l per100 towing my 3400kg van--- i dont know how but it is and ive had both, still have y62
see if you had the 200 in the petrol v8 youd be like whyd i buy the stupid poo troll.
Based on my own experience with my 2022 Patrol you are pretty much on the money. I did a trip from Canberra to Melbourne return with one passenger cruising at 110k and ended up with 12/100. I have a 2 inch lift, 35s, front bar. Also just completed a full lap around Oz pulling a 21.5ft 3.2 tonne van and averaged 23/100. All calculated on a spreadsheet. Overall pretty happy with result.
Thanks for sharing! 12 ain't bad considering Canberra is about half a kilometre higher than Melbourne.
@@Instamatic898 haha. That was there and back so down hill to Melbourne and then back up hill to Canberra. 😊
On long distance loaded from Sydney to Brisbane and back pretty much I get 11.6/12L per 100 every time. That’s stock standard except exhaust. Around town can be 17 to 20
best car ive ever owned
That interior though 😂
With factory tyres a 2”lift, bullbar, spotlights, winch, rear bar and cargo drawer system including a fridge and 350amps of battery storage I can sit on 100 odometer speed (93 real speed) and average 11.6 on 98 octane. Fit my 34” x-at tyres and it averages 13.8. Hard driving in the high country and it gets much much thirstier. Towing a 2t hybrid camper averaged 17.1 with factory tyre size.
Those numbers are actually not too bad - especially the towing one. I was expecting people to be quoting 20+ while towing a van. Nice one.
I regularly drive Melbourne to Sydney in my 2021 Patrol. Standard tyres, loud exhaust, bull bar and lights.
My recent trip:
929 km
124 litres
13.4 km/100
Sitting on 118km/h (GPS), 124 (speedo)
I love my Patrol.
Pulling my 21ft caravan to Lakes Entrance gets around 17.5 sitting on the speed limit via GPS.
The Y62 Speedometer is 8% out, so to do a true 100km/hr you need 108km/hr on the display. That is why the trip computer is also out.
That's a very good point. Next time I do a fuel economy test I'll be sure to verify the speedo with GPS, thanks for the info!
The same as every manufacturer. It was worse in older models had a 08 Hilux 121 speedometer was 110. Gps.
Goose 4% is the tolerance in y62
I know this because I own one and have tested it with GPS and known distance measuring to prove it. I dont care what tolerance a keyboard Commando uses I am a qualified engineer.
The odometer is 100 correct, the speedometer is out
the interior you people have is terrible . We in the UAE have a much more modern interior.
Yeah, you're not wrong. I don't know why Nissan hasn't been able to make that centre stack available for RHD - it seems like it would be so easy given the dashboard is pretty much symmetric, but for whatever reason we didn't get the improved stack in the update.
@@Instamatic898Seriuosly, if your really interested you can do some simple searches to find out why. This “discussion” about the interior of the RHD Series 5 Patrol vs LHD has been going on for literally years! But up your not a car guy it seems.
@@Instamatic898 I almost bought a y62 about 2 months ago but couldn't do it in the end because the interior was just not up to what I wanted for that much of a price in a car.
Please tell you actually didn’t put in 91 in a V8
But love the patrol tho much rather it over the cruiser especially when it’s like an extra 40k for an equivalent one of similar k’s and age
Is it legal in Australia to put fuel in external tanks stored inside the car cabin?
The most important thing you didn't mention is which octave fuel you used. Nissan recommends 98 octane fuel. From what I could tell you was not using 98 octane. Also I don't recall you mentioning your cruising speed. There are a lot of variables. I have owned mine new with no modifications since 2021 and these car can easily achieve between 10 to 11 l/100km. I always use 98 octane fuel.
98 octane will change nothing compared to lower octane.
I don't think the claimed figures require the aircon to be running. Budget in 1 litre/hour for aircon or 10% over book figures and you'll be about right (with no mods and cautious driving). I could be wrong though.
Pfft Childs play….my Range Rover Autobiography at BEST gets 15…up to 18-19 if you play even a little 😅
Fairly deep into the Outback is still only 250km between bowsers. It’s not really a problem. Anything with more than 500km of range is fine. Sure, do the Nullarbor by beach only and you’ll pucker a bit but for what you did, highway work, 500km is more than enough range, over 1000 is minty.
Bullshit!
There are many remote area roads that need a range of 600klms to travel safely and often a bit more and if you go off-road or have the vehicle loaded with holiday/travel essentials then consumption goes up by 30-50% and if you are towing even a camper van the add another 10%.
The real world is different from road travel in easy formed road drives
If you’re doing the Canning Stock Route you’ll need a range of 1000km plus.
It’s not a full sized van. 14 foot pop top hybrid. A 22 foot 3 ton behemoth would be worse
Lol how do you get overtaken by a truck and trailer when driving on the freeway?
15l/100 sitting on 110kmh, lifted, 35s, winch, bar.
It's amazing.
My old 4.8 GU used more
Can't get better than 14 l/100 out of mine it does have 295 tyres but Sydney to Coome twice in 2 weeks and can't break 14, yes driving at 110
You’re correct. All these guys saying they can do 10-11l/100km sitting at 110km/h, or in real world conditions are just kidding themselves of incorrectly calculating. Consumption figures are so dependant on so many variables. I’ve had my MY22 Y62 since new and tell everyone to expect 11-13l/100km highway and 18-20l/100km city on a stock standard patrol with no excessive load. That’s been my experience.
Amigo ! I do not see any sense in buying a big 6l petrol SUV to drive on highways. Idiotic.
We had one in Phoenix/AZ for 5 weeks.....while the F-250 6.7's (3 of them) used around 14 l Diesel /100 km, the Nisson boy drunk in our convoy somewhere around 22 l/100 km....AZ has some 'little' mountains....
The 4 picks were rented, unfortunately the renting company had all other diesels out, so we had to take that Nissan...!
A Y61 with Diesel, would have been an agreeable choice....but Nissan trashed that in the 90's...
Good video, but we do ge ripped off at the bowser. I have a car, serviced properly, driven conservatively, should do 4.5-5.5 L to 100km; however, latest fill, i filled to one click, 7.00L and had only covered 82 Km. Ripped off. by the petrol companies
Yeh, the cost of fuel is high but why do you blame the fuel producers for the fuel consumption of your particular vehicle? Do you think there is some covert conspiracy between all car manufacturers and fuel producers to “doctor” the mandated fuel consumption figures of vehicles?
The variables I see is the first click and the temperature difference of the fuel when refilling (amount of froth), you should have brimmed it.
Brim it and you'll ruin your evap canister. Over time you'll smell fuel inside the cabin, because the evap canister is shot.
@@ameetnarayan9219 you only had to do it twice.
When I started working at Wheels our policy was to brim tanks until fuel was visible and stable in the filler neck, but there were certain vehicles where doing so was pretty much impossible as the necks were plumbed to the charcoal canister/evap system in such a way that they'd drain the overfill before we'd ever see the fuel. Besides ruining the fuel calc it's obviously not great for the emissions system either, so the policy changed to run the pump first click. I hope that explains the methodology a little better.
If you actually own a Y62, like I do you will have to deal with the dual tanks issue that plagues the car. The 140l tank is actually comprised of two separate but inter-connected tanks of 100l and 40l capacity. When you fill up, fuel goes only into one tank and then siphons over to the other tank. If you’re at close to 1/4 of a tank, when you fill up to “full” you never get full capacity. You can literally go back the next day and put another 10-13l in the “tank”, as the fuel has had time to fully siphon over-night! I fill up my Y62 to when clicks of pump stop, then give the car a good shake and you can hear the loud gurgling in the filler neck and then get a couple more litres in.
@@johncanalese588 yeah every single time. You think it's empty but it's actually not empty because the Y62 fuel tank CAL is incorrect. There is still about 30 or so litres of fuel left when the light comes on. Bloody annoying as shit. My dealer ship told me when you fill up make sure you don't insert the fuel nozzle all the way in to make sure you get maximum fuel in the tank. It sort of works and not work actually. I drive it until the range is 00 kms of range left and drive another 80 kms. When I went to fill and it still only took 125 litres. It's a shit tank design with an even crappier calibration
The new head unit is worse than a after market unit. Plus you lose 360 cameras
Yeah, like old mate from Dubai pointed out, the LHD updated interior is a much more convincing modernisation of this ancient interior.
Have a look at the dash 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gas guzzling, obsolete tank
You put 91 in it 😂 did you even read the fuel flat details
I know, I know... I goofed and splashed a few litres of 91 in at the top up, but I was a good boy and used 95 for the refill, I promise! I'm surprised it took this long for someone to point out the error 🙃
Lol it was the first thing I noticed
Haha I rewound it to take a second look 🤣 and was like surely not haha
What can confound these tests in a Patrol is the well known issue of airlock between the main and sub fuel tanks. This means that "full"is not actually full and may not be consistent from one tank to the next which will skew the calculations. There's a mod to fix it.
@@wasbruceI’m not sure the mod works 100% of the time
A person buying a Nissan Patrol ,Lexus LX570, G Wagon AMG 63 and Range Rover supercharged won't care much about fuel consumption.
