Replying to: cryptoguy (Sep 13, 2006 5:27 am) Hi cryptoguy - welcome!   This is an Altima Real World Mileage discussion, so the folks who can answer you probably aren't going to see your post here.   What you want to do is check out the groups on the Accord and the Pathfinder. We also have a general discussion on Extended Warranties that may be helpful.   Enjoy!
#20 of 196 Gas mileage by kwk1 Dec 06, 2006 (12:29 pm)
2006 Altima 3.5 auto w/9000 miles on it. Took a trip and went 847 miles. Pretty much all highway at 60-75 MPH. The car got 29 MPG., not bad. Replies to this message: wheels_r_us (Jan 06, 2007 11:08 pm) sushiljk (May 14, 2007 8:35 am) bill_ding (May 19, 2007 2:07 pm) sellcar (Jun 17, 2007 4:28 pm)

Any data yet on mpg for the 2007 Altima - curious to see if it is really going to live up to the increased EPA estimates.

Replying to: KarenS (Jun 14, 2005 5:48 am) '02 3.5 Altima...approx 116K miles. Strange, I moved to AZ from CA & found an increase in MPG during the hot summer months vs. the cold winter months. Was about 26-28 MPG during summer; now in winter at about 23-25 MPG...interesting...but still ok at 116K miles!

Replying to: temecula (Dec 13, 2006 5:56 pm) Winter grade gasolines are blended with more volatile content for improved cold start capability - but at the cost of lower fuel economy (fewer BTUs per gallon). You're also now probably at a somewhat higher elevation, too. These winter blends are both temperature and region modified for the anticipated temperature changes at given elevations. Expect things to improve next spring when the summer blend gasolines begin shipping again to stations.
#24 of 196 Try driving the 05 Altima SE-R by martymdser Dec 23, 2006 (2:51 pm)
I love my SE-R however the MPG could be better. I know it all depends on how you drive and the road conditions however, I can't seem to get away from 20MPG in the City and around 24-26 on long highway drives. I did manage to get 28 on a long trip to Sandusky Ohio.....

Replying to: wheels_r_us (Jan 06, 2007 11:08 pm) i am having problems with the gas mileage on my 2007 Nissan Altima 2.5s. I am getting a highway Mileage of 22 and i already have put on 4000 miles. The dealers said tht the EPA quoted value if far away from the actual mileage. But the answer is not satisfactory because the discreapancy should be 10% here and there. Please let me know if anyone has the same problem. Replies to this message: bill_ding (May 19, 2007 2:07 pm) sellcar (Jun 17, 2007 4:28 pm)

Replying to: sushiljk (May 14, 2007 8:35 am) How fast are you driving? I've had my 07 Altima for a few weeks and it gets close to the EPA estimate when driving 55mph. But we all know no one drives 55mph on the interstate.   Also, fuel varies between states due to emissions standards and required additives. This as well as elevation can affect mileage.   The EPA is changing their ratings for 2008 to better reflect mileage for present-day driving habits. So basically, cars will be rated as having "worse" fuel efficiency than previous models.
#28 of 196 New 2008 EPA estimates by starryknight May 26, 2007 (4:03 pm)
To those that are interested, fueleconomy.gov has revised the estimates for cars from 1985 to 2007 to reflect the new 2008 estimates. I was hoping to see the 2007 Altima (4 cyl) with better mpg numbers because of the CVT transmission but it looks like it has only increased by 1-1/2 to 2 mpg on average compared to the 05 & 06 models. Check out the link, it's good info.   http://www.fueleconomy.gov/mpg/MPG.do?action=browseList2&make=Nissan&model=Altima
