Nissan Primera Diesel - poor mpg?
We have a Nissan Primera TDi purchased late 2004. Only trouble is, OH doesn't think we get such good mpg from it as we should. We currently average about 34/35 mpg.
We drive a mix of round town and motorway, but always have the air-con. I've pointed out that having this on by default is supposed to affect the mpg, but does anyone know by how much? He says he's tried switching it off for a couple of days but reckoned it made very little difference.
I think the OH drives very aggressively with lots of hard acceleration and braking and I think thats the reason for the poor mpg (but not that easy to tell him that!!). We don't have roof racks etc, we're not overloaded with people, and windows are usually closed (hence air-con being on!). Car is serviced by Nissan within guidelines, and this mpg has been constant since new....
Does anyone have a similar car, and what do you manage to get per mile??

Using air con can add 10-15% on fuel consumption. Heavy right foot doesn't help.0

I have a Nissan Tino with 2.2 dCi 136 (Feb 2005) and am getting 48 mpg on average. (Less on fast motorway journeys) without much Air-con.
I think I'd be upset with less than 40 mpg :eek:0 -
