#50 of 79 New 2005 Altima Owner by vette73 Jan 18, 2005 (4:33 pm)
I am getting use to this site - And my new Altima 2.5s. As a 2002 Xterra owner I wondered what the Altima's RPM should be at 60 mph - about 3500? 70 - about 4,000, the acceleration is very good on the 2.5S. More comfortable than my 2001 Forester.   My test drive was limited - to about 60 mph   My wife's Xterra drops to about 2,500 - both automatic - figure it has over drive   Thanks Replies to this message: vette73 (Jan 20, 2005 4:50 pm) vette73 (Jan 21, 2005 4:04 pm) trace70 (Apr 18, 2005 5:47 pm) peter16 (Jun 19, 2005 5:11 am) huskerdoo1 (Jan 22, 2005 6:12 am)

#52 of 79 Congrats on your new Altima by maxamillion1 Jan 20, 2005 (8:42 pm)
I have had my early 05 since March (almost a year, DARN) and it has been a pretty good car. I got the 2.5S with Conv. Plus pkg.   If I could do it again, I'd get the SE with Sport Plus Pkg. or perhaps the Leather Sport Pkg.   But I LOVE the styling.... Replies to this message: dowo75 (Apr 11, 2005 5:18 pm)

Replying to: vette73 (Jan 18, 2005 4:33 pm) make sure the transmission is in drive and not L3. I drove mine in the higher automatic gears and the only way I had rpms that high was in L3. Normally I don't hit anywhere near 3000 rpm until the car is a little above 75mph. Mine is a 2002 altima automatic, soon to be replaced by a new SE.

I recently purchased an Altima 2.5S. I am just wondering when the gas light comes on and the dte is blinking, approximately how many miles do I have to get to the gas station?
#56 of 79 kblack2001 by maxamillion1 Feb 20, 2005 (8:31 pm)
It all depends on the type of gas mileage you are getting.   In my 05, I went for DAYS with that light on if I do around town driving...like back and forth to classes at college and such...but it almost caught up with me.   The other day I went four days with that light on and when I FINALLY went to get some gas, I had to get over 18 gallons to fill up the tank...so I had less than 2 gallons left...   So if its around town driving, I'd say one or two days..but if its highway driving...you might not want to wait more than one.   My Altima does NOT get stellar gas mileage either...

Replying to: maxamillion1 (Feb 20, 2005 8:31 pm) The car has an advertised 20 gallon tank but whenever the light goes on, the car needs about 16 to fill it up. Either it doesn't have a 20 gallon tank or they're playing it way on the safe side.   I find my gas mileage pretty good on the highway but locally, where I average around 15mph, it can really drink it.
#58 of 79 They are playing it safe by maxamillion1 Feb 24, 2005 (10:35 pm)
Its really got a twenty gallon fuel tank

Replying to: smiley10 (Nov 13, 2003 11:49 am) I think it depends somewhat on where you live, but according to my research that's a great deal.
