| I have a 2004 AWD SL. I usually hit the reset switch after most fill ups. My daily driving habits of about 50/50 highway city gives me 19.8-20.5 mpg. Highway trips along Rt. 95 (east coast) usually gets 22.5-24 mpg at 60-70 mph. I use only premium gasoline! | |

Have been a proud owner of a 2009 SL AWD for 8 days now and am almost done with my first tank of gas. The onboard computer shows me 20.2MPG average over approx. 350 miles. I am unsure of the dealer filled, but I will definitely use Premium Gas and keep the board posted on what I get. FYI, I drive approx. 30 miles a day (home-to-office-and-back) and weekends we drive over to friends etc. My drive is 50-50 city-highway (along I-287 in NJ). So make your own conclusions till my next data point ... |

My mileage has been steadily eroding since the vehicle was new. But then my MO is pretty old, so I guess that is to be expected. Right now I get 15-16mpg around town, and on conservative highway driving (70mph) I can get around 20mpg. This is on 93 octane, mobil one 5w30, JWT cone filter.

Replying to: eric_l (Nov 07, 2008 4:37 pm) That seems a little bit odd. My '99 Nissan minivan really didn't hit its stride until 10,000 miles and the mpg kept inching up by small increments over the years. I went from 20.x to 21.x as the van turned 60,000 miles. It's still getting 21.x at 129,000 miles. (15/23 is the EPA, and I think my average is in that ballpark, but I usually get ~18 to 19 in town). Maybe you should switch to regular oil and cheap paper filters like me.  Since the published norm is 18 mpg / 23 mpg for your Murano, I wonder if you should get a mechanic to check it out. When was the last time any codes were pulled for it?

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 07, 2008 8:10 pm) I agree the mileage should have gone up over time. I had a 97 Maxima and at 100,000 miles, it was getting the best mileage ever - 29-31mpg on the highway consistently (which I found to be amazing).

Replying to: eric_l (Nov 08, 2008 11:09 pm) Funny you should mention the Yokohama tires/mileage. I switched to a nice set of Yokohama's on my Acura and definitely lost 2mpg. Many people don't believe tires could have this effect yet rolling resistance does change between manufacturers/designs of tires etc.. I do like the Yokohama's however.

Replying to: strasserider (Nov 22, 2008 7:53 am) to fix: disconect battery for 45 minutes re-conect battery and start murano..... let it warm up to operating temp.... then plan your route to an open flat highway.......... you must keep RPM'S LOW..... below 2,000 ... on the open flat highway.... bring murano to 60 mph with low rmps set your cruise control once you hit 60 mph.... stay at 60 for 30 minutes.......... exit highway and do the same on the way back.... this procedure should be done 2 times per year or when installing a new exhaust system or intake system..... mobil 1 5 w30 synthetic will also give you extra mpg.... my mpg city was down to 10.+ mpg i checked everything , cleaned throtle intake,new plugs,new tranny fluid,new rear diff fluid, 3 tanks of lucas fuel treatment and managed to get up to 13.44 mpg city.... still wrong... then i did the 0 to 60 mph and got above 9.9 seconds...........something was really wrong........ i actually thought my rings on the cylinders where worn.... i was tought by special mechanic about ecu air/fuel re-learning procedure and everything is back to normal... i feel bad for anyone that sold their murano because of their unknown mpg problems wich dealership could not figure out.... |

| Been driving 62 miles round trip on the interstate lately and have kept track of mpg. I wait until I get to the interstate and get up to 60 mph then reset the computer. Got as good as 31mpg for the trip and as low as 28mpg. This is the computer reading -- way too lazy to figure the gas used method. It drops quickly once you get off the highway -- 26-27mpg.Around town gets 20-22mpg. Still amazing that a vehicle this size can even touch 30mpg on REGULAR gas. Must be the cvt transmission. 09 sl awd with 9k miles. | |
