#256 of 321 First 10,000 miles on my 2007 NAH by mazda6dude Feb 06, 2008 (9:58 am)
I reached 10,000 miles on my 2007 NAH today. Here are some stats. Average MPG was 36MPG. Drove 400 miles on a half a tank 2 times. Best MPG 39 and worst 32. Overall the experience has been great. The only problem was car pulled to the right when I first bought it, but the problem seems to be fixed. Will switch to synthetic motor oil and see if there is any difference in MPG. Very smooth, quiet and handles well. Replies to this message: irecycle (Feb 06, 2008 12:36 pm) mazda6dude (Feb 06, 2008 2:45 pm) langjie (Feb 07, 2008 12:54 pm)

Replying to: mazda6dude (Feb 06, 2008 9:58 am) You are getting the MPG that I had hoped to get on my 2007 NAH. I also have over 10,000 miles driven, but am averaging only 30 to 31 mpg. What kind of driving do you do, for instance, how many miles per trip average, what temperature is your area and are there any hills. I used 0W20 synthetic oil at the last change and my mileage went down to 29mpg. Replies to this message: mazda6dude (Feb 06, 2008 2:45 pm) langjie (Feb 07, 2008 12:54 pm)

Replying to: irecycle (Feb 06, 2008 12:36 pm) irecycle: I do mostly freeway driving. 85% Freeway and 15% stop and go. I am due for a oil change and will get the 0W20 sythetic oil. I live in Northern,CA and right now the temperatures are low 30's at night and high 50's in the day time. I am not a aggressive driver. There are no hills. I think you lose MPG when climbing hills, but if you coast down a hill, you save gas. Overall, I take it very easy with my NAH when braking, accelerating etc. Whenever there are no cars behind me on city streets as well as the speed limit being 35MPH, I drive in EV mode. All my fillups have given me a minimum of 360 miles to the half tank. My goal is to get 38MPG. I change my air filter every 10,000miles, oil 4,000 to 5,000 miles. Also, I use fuel treatment every 10,000 miles. On my previous car, I used to rotate and balance tires every 5,000 miles, but on my NAH I will do it every 10,000 miles.

#259 of 321 Tire pressure. by 500e Feb 07, 2008 (8:31 am)
I think I may be losing mileage here and would like some input. Can someone getting 35 mpg average tell me what tire pressures they are running front and back?

Replying to: mazda6dude (Feb 06, 2008 2:45 pm) I used to average 36 MPG....then winter came and my mileage dropped. I'm getting about 30 MPG for a New England winter. On fueleconomy.gov, my overall mileage is still at 35...but for how long, who knows
#262 of 321 2007 NAH Value by mazda6dude Feb 07, 2008 (2:58 pm)
Does anyone know where I can get a trade-in/private value for my 2007 NAH? Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Feb 07, 2008 4:50 pm)

Replying to: mazda6dude (Feb 07, 2008 2:58 pm) The TMV tool here on Edmunds should give you a very good idea.   http://www.edmunds.com/tmv/used/2007/nissan/altimahybrid/index.html

Replying to: hiwayman (Dec 26, 2007 10:07 am) I have 4 yrs experience with Prius synergy system, mostly the same as the Altima hybrid. My wife got a 2008 NAH last week, got 35 mpg on her first tank (location SoCal), she gets near 50 mpg in my Prius for same commute. Some facts: cold start warmup is for catalytic converter heating to reduce emissions. The colder the cat is, the longer the engine must run to warm it up. This will reduce mileage on short trips, make less of a difference on longer trips. To reduce mileage effects, start driving immediately after start. The sooner the blue cold light goes off, the sooner mileage rises. Also, battery temp affects its efficiency collecting and delivering electricity. Best mileage will occur on a warmed up car at about 45-50 mph driving up and down hills, on a 60 to 75 degree day. Driving 72 mph instead of 62 mph can reduce mileage about 2-3 mpg. Driving hills and mountains can increase mileage by taking more advantage of the regen nature of the system. Best mileage I ever got in the Prius was a 45 minute stop/go traffic slowdown in LA - averaged over 60 mpg. PS - we got the Altima over the Camry - seemed more user friendly, less cabin clutter, more usable trunk volume, better $$ incentives. Hope this helps, have fun!
#265 of 321 Other states? by gwilson Feb 26, 2008 (10:26 am)
Anyone heard anything official (or even rumor) on when or if Nissan will be offering the NAH nation wide?
