    What's a fuel efficient SUV on the market?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 20 November 2017

    I don’t believe that what you want is out there, and can only reiterate past advice, buy a Patrol/Pajero/Prado/LandCruiser.

    Nissan Pathfinder limp mode

    It's good to hear that you have got a successful outcome. As you say Frank Horgan should consult his dealer rather than putting up with what is clearly a potentially dangerous situation.

    Nissan Pathfinder fuel consumption
    Answered by Graham Smith · 22 September 2011

    Nissan's claims for your Pathfinder are 10.2 L/100 km average overall, and 12.4 L/100 km in urban situations. Using the latter figure as a guide your car is consuming around 30 percent more fuel than the company's claim. It must be remembered that the claim is taken from a standard lab test and not real life, and that it's meant to give a comparative figure when comparing one car to another, but to then find you car is guzzling 30 percent more fuel is unacceptable. Take it back to your dealer and demand something be done about it.

    Pleased with our diesel-gas conversion
    Answered by Graham Smith · 25 March 2010

    Good information for anyone thinking of converting their diesel to dual-fuel, but it's important to do lots of homework before having your vehicle done. Consult a number of converters to get a feel for their competence, talk to as many of their customers as possible to get feedback on the success or otherwise of the conversion. Converting diesels to dual-fuel is still in its infancy; it's not like converting a petrol engine where there is plenty of experience over a long time, so tread carefully when thinking of doing it.
