I haven't had this on my '07 G, but I wonder if this is the problem I have on my '06 Murano? I fill the tank until I can't get anymore in (the nozzle clicks off) and the needle still doesn't show a full tank.

I managed to get the tank full yesterday, but I had to fill the tank very very slowly. It took about 10 minutes to fill.

Anyone notice that the top half of the tank sucks pretty quick and the bottom a lot slower, must be the shape of the tank....or I'm just imagining the whole thing!

Inconsistencies in the shape of the tank will do that. It'd be the same if you were watching it while filling up...would go slow for the bottom 3/4 then jump quickly the top 1/4

Mine is the opposite. The first half lasts much longer according to the gauge. That's the normal way manufacturers do it trying to trick you into thinking car is more fuel efficient.

I get ~450km per tank with 90% city driving and with 90% highway driving I can usually get ~650km per tank. I have even flirted with 700km. I’m pretty sure my fuel warning comes on with about 8-9 litres still in the tank and I have yet to burn that as it has only happened the one time but I remember getting 67 litres in the tank to fill it back up. I believe our fuel tanks hold 76L.
I usually drive 15 to 20 over the posted speed limit with the occasional (daily) couple of bursts when no one is around. I like the sound and feeling this car gives me when I let go of the reigns.
Since the day I got the G I have used nothing but Sunoco 94 from my local station. I can't say I haven't been tempted to go lower because of the price but my finger just keeps pushing that 94 Octane button. I figure, what's an extra $10 per week if it’s good for the engine, long and/or short term, as well as a little help for our environment? Just because I won't drive a Prius doesn't mean I can't be conscientious.
I don’t smoke and rarely drink so I consider this car my vice. She gets a full detail this Saturday...clay, polish and wax. I can’ wait.

Nice I reached 550km with my last tank, 95% city driving. Not bad?

Do you guys use STP products to clean your fuel injector?

I get around 400-450 per tank, if I'm lucky. Pretty much 100% city driving.

And nothing but sunoco ultra 94.

Don't accelerate hard from lights, be efficient when driving (i.e. anticipate red lights and roll to them rather than race to them), don't go faster than 120km/h per highway or else windresistance/drag becomes an issue, keep tires well inflated, keep the car well tuned up, etc. The key is to keep throttle position low for as much as possible. I aim at getting 550+ km per fillup with 50/50 city/highway. I want to clean my throttle body, change my air filter and maybe do a few other minor tweaks soon to increase mileage.
