Replying to: prophphreak (May 10, 2009 7:54 am) On a tangential note, I recently rented a Hyundai Sonata (I4, not V6) for three days, and was pleasantly surprised to have gotten 35.2 MPG for the tank (95% highway). With a car like this, I couldn't help but drive conservatively, and it showed in the gas mileage!

Replying to: masa3 (Aug 31, 2008 9:47 pm) We purchased a Versa hatchback with CVT (variable) automatic transmission last fall. We now have 13k on it, but the mileage is still poor; nearly 25% worse than published. The local dealer has been no help, and just shrugs it off. We do everything possible to squeeze the rated mileage out of it, but to no avail. Our best highway mileage of 8.4 l/100 is still far cry from the rated city mileage of 7.9 and highway mileage of 6.3 l/100 km. After all I've read, I starting to believe this vehicle was over-sold, unless someone can give me a better reason.  Paul in Victoria

| It seems odd that the flying wall shape of the Cube seems to be getting better mileage than the Versa, since they're both essentially the same underneath. (I know the Cube is a bit lighter, but not that much.) | |

Replying to: paul_in_vic (Jun 01, 2009 1:48 pm) Also a lot of us drive more city miles than we think and that kills mileage. Have you tried filling up just before a really, really long road trip, then refilling and calculating your mileage?

Replying to: Sylvia (Jul 17, 2006 10:35 am) I bought it new in April of 2008 in Hawaii and usually averaged between 38-42 mpg. I opted to get the upgraded packaged with the CVT transmission, bluetooth feature, and other accessories. I was really suprised to see so many disgruntled users. In Hawaii the fastest highway speed is 60 mph, this may also have something to do with why I was getting better mileage than most users. Now that I've moved to the mainland, I'll see what my mpg will be with faster speed limts. I hope this helps.

It's been about a year now since we've been forced to use ethanol-laced fuel here in central PA. The first 18 months, using non-ethanol gas, I was getting 33-34 in mixed driving and 35-36 on the highway. (Still feels like I need 7th gear sometimes) For the last year, I've never cracked 32 on the highway and my mixed driving is 29-30mpg. That's The Inconvenient Truth About Ethanol  But I still love my Versa! |

| 09 Versa CVT, on the third tank now, around 30 mpg with mixed city/highway driving. Not great... okay I guess... my other car is a Jetta TDI, ~43 mpg, and much better ride. Hope that it will improve a bit as the car breaks in. | |

Hi, I just bought a 2009 Versa Hatchback 1.8 S. When I take my foot off the gas on the highway, the car feels like it is slowing down, not coasting like a "normal" car. Does this happen to everyone else ? I have the 4 speed auto trans, not the CVT. Thanks
