I own one - 4.8 manual (I think auto is marginally better in fuel consumption).
From first hand experience, budget on around 19-20 Ltr/100 for around town. It's not much better on the highway, but I'm usually towing a camper on the highway so can't say with certainty.
Here is some info from another site:
"official figures" from Nissan:
4.8 manual 17.7
4.8 Auto 17.2
The test is conducted on vehicles that have been driven for at least
3,000 kilometres, and it consists of two segments: the urban and
extra-urban cycles. The combined fuel consumption figure represents an average of the two tests with a weighting for the distance covered in each part.
Some other experiences:
My manual 4800 car still runs 16.5 lt/100km average over
70,000km now. Goes to 18's with muddies and 15's on long
highway trips at speed limit.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have just purchased a 2002 4.8 auto on gas and my first tank of gas returned 24.34 ltr per 100 km driving half country and half city, so I hope I can improve on this as I would kill to get some of the figures you are quoting. I'll keep you posted on how I go with the next few tanks. ***** Further to my recent post, I have found that I'm getting 17.5 ltr/100km on petrol and I found that I had the wrong LPG unit on the vehicle and updated to an Impco which reduced the consumption from 24.5ltr/100km to around 17.5-18ltr/100km which is a vast improvement.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Have just filled my new 4.8 manual for the first time.
I chickened out at 700Km and just as well as in took 119lt.
This is 17lt/100km which would give it a range of 750-800km.

A speed camera would have prevented that!
A friend of mine has a 4.5 GU turbo petrol..and that thing is a thirsty beast. He had the opportunity to drive a 4.8 manual, petrol only, and he guessed that it would use a lot more fuel than when his GU was normally aspirated.ludacris wrote:Are the 4.8's more thirstier than the 4.5's.

Reasons, Larger capacity but as the 4.8 revs out more easily than the the previous 4.2 and 4.5's so you would be tempted to drive it harder.
RN
As rioad nazi said, the beast just spins so freely its hard to keep ya boot out of it.
Across a varied range of conditions, towing a work trailer, city and highway driving i am getting anywhere between 16 to 24 litres per hundred. Is it worth it. Bet your sweet arse it is. this thing pulls like a train and revs like a hot small block. Luvit.
