#46 of 59 Re: How does the newer Altima ..... [craig777] by maximafan Apr 30, 2008 (9:24 pm)
Replying to: craig777 (Jun 27, 2007 12:24 am) Craig, I live in Tampa, Florida and I have been able to request certain cars to drive as rentals at Enterprise Rent-a-Car. I've rented Nissan Muranos in the past. It helps that the location where I usually rent from is across the street from a Nissan dealership also. So you might want to give your nearest Enterprise Rent-A-Car location a call and see if they might be able to assist you. Good luck!
#47 of 59 Recent MPG and Trip Computer by poodog13 Jul 08, 2008 (10:00 am)
2006 Maxima SL   Recent trip from Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach yielded 28.5 MPG at 75 MPH including some distances through mountainous terrain. Level land actually got me around 29 MPG. I typically do mostly city driving in high traffic conditions and struggle to average 18.5 MPG so I was very pleasantly surprised.   As for trip computer DTE and fuel guage, I have the same issues and have just learned to deal with it. I consistently get only 16 gallons when both show as being dead empty. I agree that this was most likely done on purpose so that a mis-read by the system doesn't run someone empty and most likely was done after some testing of the tolerance interval of the computer's measurement accuracy. It's hard not to keep that in the back of your head and run it down further sometimes.

Replying to: guyverfanboy (Feb 08, 2009 5:33 pm) I've got an 2009 Maxima. 4000 miles on it. I've had it since August and love it!! Overall, my average has been around 22mpg (combined city/highway). If I go on a road trip, I average between 27 to 28 mpg. Replies to this message: smarty666 (Sep 15, 2009 4:15 pm)

Replying to: cmyawn (Apr 01, 2007 8:37 am) I just got a 2007 Maxima SL this weekend. I observed the same thing with my first two fill-ups; when the gauge shows nearly empty, the DTE shows 60+ miles and 14 to 15 gallons will fill up the tank. I suspect it's just Nissan being overly conservative to cut us drivers some slack. Replies to this message: poodog13 (Apr 28, 2009 8:57 am)

Replying to: andy211 (Apr 27, 2009 11:32 am) Agree, I've never gotten more than 16.5 gals in my 2006

Replying to: go_mdx1 (Feb 08, 2009 6:10 pm) wow, that is pretty good gas mileage considering there are 290hp under that hood; I've been getting just about the same mileage in my 2010 max; guess you have to thank the CVT for that!! will never get gas mileage like that in a G37 sedan!
#53 of 59 2009 and 2010 Maxima MPG and Regular or Premium by smarty666 Oct 10, 2009 (5:19 pm)
I was just curious what kind of gas mileage people are getting on their 2009 or 2010 Maxima? not too many people with 09 or 10 Max's have commented on their MPG and I was curious if people are using regular or premium gasoline? my nissan dealer told me I had to use premium in the max and that I could only get away with regular if I had the Altima V6 Replies to this message: tracguy (Oct 12, 2009 12:13 pm) sahil908 (Oct 13, 2009 11:06 am) gd420mj (Oct 15, 2009 5:53 am) gs42 (Oct 27, 2009 2:08 pm)
#54 of 59 Gas Mileage by redmazda3 Oct 12, 2009 (6:08 am)
My Wifes' 2009 Maxima has been averaging around 21.5 mpg on premium. Her typical day is a 7 mile commute in town with numerous stops and starts. I have almost the same commute with my 2009 Mazda6 V6 and only get around 19.5 mpg. We both drive the same driving style. I actually drive a little more conservative with my car and still can't get any better in town mileage. Oh well.

Replying to: smarty666 (Oct 10, 2009 5:19 pm) I get 22-23 on 30 mile commute half on the expressway and the rest city streets. I get about 27 on highway trips (about 250 miles each way 2/3 of which is mountains) It has been very consistent over 10,000 miles I have put on it.
