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).

I'm getting 24-26 MPG regularly with my 3.5 SE--that's a mixture of about 70% highway driving. I've found that my mileage calculator on the dash and actual arithmetic based on brim-to-brim tanks to be less than 1/2 gallon in difference, so I'm pleased.

Just picked up my '08 3.5 SL last night, Wahoo! What a sweet ride - will miss the Murano though. Can't wait to see the mpg difference, averaged 20-22 highway in the Murano so anything better than that (if I can keep my foot out of it) will be great!

I have had my 2008 2.5s for a little under a month now and have about 1400 miles on it. According to the in dash computer I have been getting between 32-33 mpg. I have not calculated it myself yet to ensure the computer is accurate. I do primarily highway driving. So far I am very happy with the mpg and the car in general!

"(if I can keep my foot out of it)"
With the 3.5, you get so much response with so little pedal it's actually easy to drive economically.
Just got 27.7 MPG on a 245 mile highway trip yesterday.

I am having definite mixed feelings about the Altima that I purchased. I like the hi tech features, but the engine rattle that they still cannot fix makes me wonder if I have a lemon.

hey, how's everything? just bought a 3.5SE about three weeks ago and i'm almost hitting 1000 miles on it. my mileage really sucks though, it's like every time i get 200 something miles for a full tank. was your mileage this bad during the break-in period? what type of gas are you putting in your car? any advice would be appreciated by my wallet, thanks!
