Recent Mileage on 2007 3.5 SE with 5,000 Miles by victrolajazz

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!

THE REAL NISSAN ALTIMA TRUTH by sellcar

I just traded in this "P.O.C." 07 Altima for a 08 Hyundai Sonada and its a so much better made car for less money then the 07 Altima. Check the reviews on yahoo autos and see for yourself' !!!!
As for the 2007 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL it owned, I had many problems with it that the company could not fix, from the brakes squeeling to the engine pinging and engine knocking noises when it was cold, interior plastic squeeks. The drivers seat tracks had to be replaced the first week I got the car because the seat was loose. The dealer scratched the interior up trying to get the seat out of the car in order to fix it. I checked the gas mileage many times by filling up the tank and resetting the trip mileage counter and best MPG's my car can get is between 19MPG to 23MPG city/highway and this is on the 4cyl. model. I even tryed using high test fuel and I got very little change in MPGs. I don't think the on board MPG trip computer is a good way to check the mileage. Nissan customer service sucks and they don't care about there customers after you buy there car, they told me to try another dealership after going to 4 different dealers who could not fix this cars problems. In the past, I always recommended Nissan cars to all my friends and family, but now I tell everyone to stay away from them. I hope yours turns out better then mine. Happy Holidays!

I drive ALOT, and I average about 1800 miles a month. I read up on premium vs regular and even found out the dealer puts 87 in, so I've just been using that and it has been running fine and has lots of power. I have filled it up and calculated the miles vs the fuel I put in the tank and came out with the following mpg: 18.8, 20.1, 19.5, 19.5, and 19.4.
 
I've read on here that the mileage will go up 2-3 thousand miles and that the computer adjusts to your driving habits. Is this true? I was hoping for an average of 22mpg per the new fuel economy standards. My previous vehicle was a Toyota 4Runner and the new fuel standards said it averaged 15mpg which was dead on.
 
Oh, and just out of curiosity, if I were to put in premium, would I make up the extra cost with better fuel economy?
