I used to think that about my S40 T5 until I got my campervan. 2.5 V6 Nissan VQ engine in about 2 tonnes of home from home. If I get over 20mpg it's a win! ;-)

Well the trip computer on mine is showing 21.2 mpg which is probably optimistic .
No big issue with this as its all town driving and i only do around 4 to 5k a year. Bonus is tax at £330 not the £500 + as mines January 2006.
