Lisa buckenham Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hi guys and gals, was hoping for a bit of info on a juke tekna 1.5 dci. Have recently purchased a 64 plate diesel from a petrol version of a juke and I was just wondering if anyone could tell me when tou fully fill your tank, what miles range you show. Mine only showed 273 miles on being fully filled but it's slowly creeping up and today on filling I have reached 414 miles left in the tank. I don't believe that this is right as I would have thought it would have been more. Had it in a Nissan yesterday and they say that there is no fault at all but I just would have thought averaging 58 mpg that it would have shown more miles left. Can anyone tell me what there's is on fully filling please??? Thank you . Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 HI Lisa....welcome to the Forum Your car should hold 46 litres in the tank....that's just over 10 gallons which means at 58mpg that you should be getting a readout of 580 miles range - if my maths are correct :-( https://www.carleasingmadesimple.com/data/nissan/juke/fuel-tank-capacity/ A lot of modern vehicles don't actually achieve the stated mpg that they are advertised as getting so it seems like you are currently getting only 41 to the gallon, which isn't good. Let us know how it all goes Cheers, Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa buckenham Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Thank you Trevor -that's what my maths worked out but my readout shows different. Nissan won't admit that there is a probelm. Have now driven it for 2 days and done 80 miles and my mpg is reading 57.6 mpg. No bars have moved and my mileage countdown is still on 418 miles. I just wondered if other juke owners had a proper reading or if this is how it is. My old petrol juke would automatically start counting down, and lose bars on the petrol gauge within a drive! Maybe I should take it back to Nissan and argue a bit more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I know what you mean about the read outs so thats why I always drive on the odometer where I know that I should get approximately 90 miles to £10 on my Honda CR-V and that is based around 45 miles to the gallon. Once you get used to driving by the miles rather than rely on the gauges then its a far better way of judging the accuracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa buckenham Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Thanks again Trevor for responding. For instance last night I filled my car up and I actually ran it done to flashing no fuel which I don't like doing but was only able to top up to 36 litres but I have a 46 litre tank so where are my other 10 litres??? Been for a second opinion only still to be told that there is no fault, but no-one seems to be using common sense just get the usual "computer says no fault" . The warranty expires next week so guess will just have to live with it! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Sounds like you may just have to live with it as there is no actual fault coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
