Uh, I don't believe the Murano has more power
than an Avalon. Avalon has, I believe, 268 horsepower and the Murano has 244 horsepower.
So you should see less mpg's with the Avalon than with the Murano.

Never did I say It had more power. The reply was to a post that said a larger engine should get less mileage. As far as the Avalon goes, most I got out of a tank was 325 miles. I get better than that out of my Frontier with a 4.0 V-6.

Back up - how does having more hp mean fewer mpg? The Avalon will get much, much better mpg than a Murano.

Didn't for me. My wife's Murano averages 22.8 MPG. The Avalon I rented got 20.8. Could be the mechanical shape of the 2 vehicles. My wife's Murano is pristine. The Avalon was, well, a rental.

Just wanted to report that I got 33 MPG on a 250 mile trip. Was traveling 68 - 73 with the cruise contol with A/C part of the way. Only have 1000 miles on my vehicle. How can I expect mileage to actually get better? Should I?

It might get better, but 33 is pretty damn good if you ask me!
I get 29 with my '05 3.5 under similar conditions.

Getting on average about 23-24 mpg all city driving with only 700 miles on her. Just for comparison, my previous car an 07 Civic EX auto averaged 25-26 mpg same driving conditions. I'm very impressed. More power and more room and I'm losing only 2 mpg. Not bad. I'm guess I'll get a few more mpg out of it when she's broken in. The Altima impresses me more everyday I drive it.

Should you except better? I guess you could. But you're getting 3 mpg better than the old EPA estimates for hi way driving. I couldn't get 33 mpg on a good day with my Civic.

Correction. Two mpg better with the new EPA figures. One less with the old EPA figures.
 
Old EPA City: 26 Old EPA Hwy: 34
New EPA City: 23 New EPA Hwy: 31
 
Regardless, you are getting nice numbers.

2007 Nissan Altima 2.5s Gas Mileage or lack of by bizzjet1

I have 8,000 miles on my 2007 Altima 2.5s. I have tracked every tank of fuel and have never come close to the 26mpg city / 34mpg highway that sold me on this car. I have averaged around 21.5mpg. The best was 26.0 mpg on a all highway trip. The worst was 19.1. What are the rest of you experiencing?
 
Are you pleased with the car? I have been a little disappointed!
