i've spoken to my cousin who is a former supervisor at nissan, sabi nya mas matipid daw ang 3.0 compared to 2.5 because of the power to rate ratio, same thing na sinabi din ng ahente sa toyota balintawak. imagine sa 3.0konting apak mo lang sa gas pedal makukuha mo na yung lakas na gusto mo compared to 2.5 kailangan mas mataas yung rpm(which means more fuel burned?) bago mo makuha yung lakas na ibinibigay ng 3.0 so to make sense mas makakatipid ka using 3.0. tama ba?

As counter intuitive as it sounds, but based on actual user's experience, the 2.5li is indeed thriftier than the 3.0li. Of course, the agent from Balintawak would really like to sell you the 3.0 because it costs Php 245,000 more than the 2.5li, imagine the comission they would be getting from such a sale. However, you should watch out for unpredictable and unresolved D4-D problems, which especially afflicts the 2.5li predominantly. Havent heard of any documented problems for the 3.0li yet.
