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!

The EPA on the '07 was based on an old test. The new EPA for a '08 (which has the same engine as an '07) is 23 city and 31 Hwy.
 
It's still better than the '08 Accord or Camry.

Well, that EPA estimate was was "over inflated" for quite some time as everyone knows. So much so, that the EPA re-calculated their figures for 2008 models. 2.5S is now 23/31 mpg. So you're not as bad off as you thought. But it does seem a tad low.
 
I have had my 2008 2.5S for 1 month now and the 1st 2 tanks were 27.7 and 28.6 mpg - needless to say, I am very happy!....

I only have 800 miles on my 2008 so far. I got 23 something on my first tank and 24.5 on my second. Right now, I'm at 25 something on my third so far. It has been mostly commuting driving with little highway (average speed was like 30 mph according to the computer).
