Hi guys. I've recently driven across the Nullarbor with a Nissan Stagea.
We found it very thirsty, we couldn't even get to 10L/100km, even when keeping it between 100 and 110.
Now I know these have a reputation as thirsty cars, heavy, four wheel drive and so on, plus it was loaded up to the max, but I still felt like the fuel useage was a bit poor? Have also found it a bit surgy under acceleration sometimes.
We were thinking of maybe replacing the O2 sensor as a starting point. Any other ideas?

Try getting a baseline without a carload of gear in it.

borrow someone's petrol gq patrol for a week and then enjoy how fuel efficient the stag is haha
from the sounds of it i don't think that' too bad, my vt commo fully loaded was only getting 650-700 to a tank on a recent trip to perth when the last time i did that trip it was getting 800+ managed 835 at one stage and had 5 litres left in it when i topped it up.
considering the stag is heavier, more powerful turbo awd car i would expect about what your getting?

the s2 neo should be slightly better mileage than the s1,
but yeah, just under 2000kg wet......i was getting 400 a tank pretty sure.
new 02 may help a bit, how many k's does she hve? done the filters after that run?
i ran SAFC and boost control [for the missus].

what price style?

all the best mate. :)
