I have found that using a 0w40 oil reduces fuel consumption. That was the case both in my 91 900 and the current 9-5. I recently trialed a 5w40 and noticed an immediate jump. So did my wife who was not aware that I had switched oil. I'm not saying the improvement is drastic but it is noticeable. It also depends on what you call realistic driving. I you mean normal, I'm sure the perception of what is normal varies widely. My experience with turbo's is that even sharpish driving will chew through the fuel. Not meaning to be too blunt but if you are looking for Nissan Economy Car fuel consumption, what are you driving a turbo for?
