The Nissan Patrol's fuel consumption, is it a deal breaker in today's eco conscious world?

The Nissan Patrol is an accepted fuel guzzler, especially in larger V8 model variants. With the environmental concerns and fuel efficiency becoming more important to many consumers, this aspect of the Patrol has become something of a talking point. The Patrol's thirsty nature is anathema for some who see it as outdated and irresponsible, but performance and capability are there to justify it for others. Much of the discussion also revolves around whether Nissan should provide more fuel efficient engine options such as hybrids or even full electric versions. Fuel consumption is also considered in terms of how practical the Patrol becomes in various markets, in countries where fuel prices are high.
