Current mileage is about 1600. At last fill up Average was about 23.6 MPG calculated using actual miles driven and gallons pumped (about 23 according the on-board display). This is for mostly city and freeway commute mileage.

I have a 99 SE that I normally run on regular 87 octane. It consistently gets 24-26 mpg on long trips. Around local Atlanta traffic I get closer to 18 mpg.

Current mileage is about 2300 miles. From the day I bought it, it averaged 24 or 25 city/freeway combined. This is calculated using actual miles driven and gallons pumped. Display reports 22.8. I use regular unleaded.

Average between 21-22MPG. This is not relying on the always wrong trip computer. Those of you relying on the trip computer need to manually calculate your gas mileage. The trip computers (even on the 6th Generation Maximas) are consistently wrong.

Manual or auto?

This oldie but goodie has been relegated to our second home. But at 155,000 miles it still gets 20-23 mpg around town and up to 28-30 mpg at 70 mph on the highway. Overall average since the day it was bought = 24.5 mpg. And it is still capable of 0-60 in about 6.6 seconds.
 
They added a lot of do-dads, but I don't think Nissan made a much better car than this generation. And its fit, finish, paint, etc., are holding up quite well - due in part, I believe to being made in Japan.
