| I've been driving SUV's or crossovers since 1997 and have adjusted to proper throttle input for better efficiency. With my Rogue, I mostly average 22 to 25 mpg. My driving is mixed, with more highway than city. All highway is very close or more than window sticker. On highway, i'm normally 70 to 80mph. The lowest I've recorded is 18.9, all city and some warming up for the cold. My best mileage is 28.1. My current odometer is 6500 and had vehicle for 3 mos. I'm on my second oil change and I've noticed that my mileage has crept up slightly since my first oil change. | |
can someone with Rouge AWD SL tell me how many RPMs  70 mph with and with out the overdrive engaged?

Replying to: kenn2 (Feb 06, 2008 11:57 am) 70 mph on flat road - Cruise Control and OD on: 21000 RPMs 70 mph on flat road - Cruise Control on and OD off: 46000 RPMs The only time you should use the vehicle with the OD off is on steep grades. See page 5-15 in the owners manual. " Use the overdrive off mode when you need improved engine braking" Mike

Replying to: kenn2 (Feb 06, 2008 11:57 am) 70mph, Shifter in D=2100 RPM The SL with paddle shifters doesn't have the overdrive switch, I think that is only on the S without the paddle shifters if I'm not mistaken, but down one click on the paddle at 70 mph raised the rpms to 2700.

Replying to: mlmcgahee (Feb 15, 2008 12:57 pm) I called Nissan customer service and they told me this milage is normal and the car is functioning properly (they just repeated what the dealer service dept told me). At this point i will take any advice i can get. If i knew the milage was going to be this bad I would have purchased a full size SUV or full size one tone truck that could carry a camper and tow a boat. Any ideas what action I could take to get this fixed?

Replying to: kenn2 (Feb 06, 2008 11:57 am) Who is your dealer? What region are you in? Who have you talked with at Nissan? Give us some more info so we can be sure your not selling CRVs.  There is nothing normal about 17-19 mpg, unless you are driving in a manner that wastes gas. Have you tried any of the suggestions that are commonly found for low fuel milage? Things like: Disconnect battery for a while to reset computer recorded driving habits, limit warm ups on cold mornings, drive easy. Don't use the air condtioner unless you need it, the Rogue's climate controls are little strange and the compressor does come on when it is not needed at times and you have to manuly cut it off, I know new compressors a efficient but its still wastefull. |
