#109 of 196 Re: 08 3.5 SE CVT [generee] by tslbmw Jan 31, 2008 (7:50 am)
Replying to: generee (Jan 30, 2008 5:46 pm) I'm in Richmond, VA. The trip that I got 26 & 25 mpg was this past weekend to Atlantic City, NJ and it was in the 20s/30s. And the around town temps (the 22 mpg tank) were about 50 degrees here locally.   I have to be completely honest with you, I am blown away by the numbers I've received so far. Now, one note, I kept the rpms below 4000 for the first 1200 miles and have since opened it up. Also, when I have the "auto" mode on the climate control on, I always make sure the "a/c" button is off.   Anyway, i don't think you're alone, maybe they stuck the 2.5 in my 3.5 SE!

Replying to: tslbmw (Jan 30, 2008 8:50 am) I just recorded 26.8 MPG on a 300 mile tank, rim to rim from previous tank on my '07 3.5 SE with 6,700 miles on it. That was figured using a calculator against the mileage meter showing 27.5 MPG at the end of the trip. For awhile it was up to 28.2 MPG on the meter, but it declined during a terrific headwind for about the last 1/3 of the trip.

Replying to: victrolajazz (Jan 31, 2008 1:48 pm) So it seems that my mileage may not be that unusual. To me, 26/27 is excellent! How about your normal around town mpg? Replies to this message: victrolajazz (Feb 01, 2008 1:39 pm)

Replying to: tslbmw (Jan 31, 2008 2:12 pm) I've had the car over a year and I've never seen lower than 23 MPG or any tank. I'm retired and have a "dinghy" I use for mostly in-town driving, so that probably produces somewhat better mileage in the Altima.
#113 of 196 mpg by skinsfan3 Feb 05, 2008 (7:40 pm)
I have a 2003 altima with less than 50k miles. Ever since day one, my MPG's have been low. I now get about 18 (that is for local driving) and I understand how stop and go can kill the mileage. I do get around 30 mpg on highway travel (without traffic.)

#115 of 196 08 Altima 2.5S sedan by jres Feb 25, 2008 (10:04 am)
1220 miles on the car, three refuelings and I'm getting right around 26 MPG for each fill up. This is for mixed stop and go/highway driving and mixed temperatures NYC area in the winter.
#116 of 196 Your're killing me by mswlogo Feb 27, 2008 (4:38 am)
You guys are killing me with these lower than expected mpg figures. My wife gets 33mpg highway (25-26mpg mixed) with her V6 Stick Passat. I read over in the Audi A4 forums folks getting 37.5 mpg highway with a 2.0T Stick. And Prius well up into the the high 40's. I was really looking forward to this car but these numbers just don't look all that great.

Replying to: mswlogo (Feb 27, 2008 4:38 am) My 26 mpg is dead on what the epa estimate was and that's a 15 mile mixed commute, mainly stop and go in the morning with higher speeds in the afternoon. I'm happy with it and am interested to see what an all highway tanks is like.

Replying to: mswlogo (Feb 27, 2008 4:38 am) Interesting...those are some strong numbers. I'm getting about 26 on the hwy and about 22 around town with my 3.5 V6 SE Altima CVT and I am extremely pleased (epa 19/26). And I sold an 06 Audi A3 2.0T DSG and was only getting around 21 in town and 28 on the hwy. Usually the turbo four engines don't meet the epa ratings that often, but your numbers from the A4 forum are very strong.
