#36 of 100 mileage by tamoshanter Jun 04, 2008 (1:43 pm)
have had rogue since 12/07, currently 22,000 miles. SL, AWD daily commute, single driver (approx. 5'11", 250 lbs) flat roads (center of VA), approximately 130 miles a day RT, 95% highway, 5% rural road (average 35-55 mph) at 65 mph, slightly above 2100 rpm's, average 28 mpg. if going 60, about 2000 rpm's, will get up to 30 mpg. when combining city/hwy, will avg about 22-26. accelerate very slowly see following for trip mileage and overall review on long 2100 mile trip
#37 of 100 after 2100 mile trip from VA to FL and back by tamoshanter Jun 04, 2008 (1:44 pm)
just came back from a 2100 mile round-trip from VA to FL with 4 adults, 5 suitcases and 2 duffle bags ( we were driving down to Port Canaveral for a 5 day cruise - definitely the way to go, given airlines are now penalizing you for carrying more than one suitcase!!!). used a samsonite soft-top on the roof-rack. a little tight, but comfortable enough for th 13+ hour drive down and 15+ hour drive back (coming back, took two days) absolutely no problems with acceleration loaded down - for a 4 cyl. - and loaded down, averaged about 22 mpg (with poor wind resistance because of the soft top). in 100 degree+ weather in FL, A/C worked great and didn't seem to tax the engine at all; lots of positive comments from people thinking it was a Murano (i tell them it's the Murano's younger brother, that takes REGULAR gas, not PREMIUM!, and better mileage). absolutely NO mechanical problems at all during the whole trip.    Pluses: very good mileage; very good performance for a 4 cylinder loaded down (remember, this is NOT a Honda Accord V6 with 6Manual!), CVT worked wonderfully - with not a hitch and smooth acceleration, fair comfort for 4 adults (of course, previously we were spoiled with a Grand Caravan Sport, so not fair to compare), XM radio and bluetooth were great. Minuses: a little cramped, and difficult to pack (what do you expect for the size), bottomed out a couple of times (we were probably maxed out on the GVWR), but no damage other than a scraped bottom of trailer hitch, wished the back seat would recline, wished for extra power plug in the back,    rogue now has over 22,000 miles since 12/07, and no problems. took it to oil change after trip and all they recommneded was replacing the air filter (which looked fine to me, so i told them i'd replace it later)
#38 of 100 MPG? by fishyubo Jun 05, 2008 (7:19 pm)
Just got my 08 Rogue SL AWD couple weeks ago, Odometer right now is about 380. I am only getting about 20 MPG.The MPG is less than my expectation since it says it would be about 22/27. I use 87 regular gas. Is there any way to improve the mileage? I am living in San Francisco 70% city and 30% highway.

Replying to: fishyubo (Jun 05, 2008 7:19 pm) You've barely been through one tank of gas. I'd give it a little more time before taking those gas mileage calculations seriously. Also, you can expect mileage to improve as the engine breaks in. Finally, I think you can expect to take a bit of a mileage hit driving in town with lots of hills compared with flat land.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: fishyubo (Jun 05, 2008 9:10 pm) kenn2 (Jun 06, 2008 6:44 am)

Replying to: tidester (Jun 05, 2008 7:40 pm) Well I am on my second tank of gas now. The first tank of gas the dealer fill for me only got about 17 MPG though. I will probably try one more tank of gas and see how it goes.

Replying to: tidester (Jun 05, 2008 7:40 pm) the bottom line, some of these cars do not get the milage reported that others do, and no one has the trouble shooting skills or the ambition to find out why

Replying to: fishyubo (Jun 05, 2008 7:19 pm) Up and down those hills of SF? Occasional real City gridlock? 22/27? Not a chance - even if you had electric motors helping you out. Am seeing a solid 24+ out of my SL AWD but at 70% 80mph highway- no hills and little 'gridlock'.
#43 of 100 600+ miles of HWY.. by silverrogue Jun 09, 2008 (4:15 am)
Just did a round trip with they family, 95% highway driving. current mileage: 1810 A/C on cruise control used about 60% of the trip speeds ranged from 60 to 75 mph with cruise on 70 raod conditions: flat and dry; as we were going up through Ohio to Cedar Point. going up we averaged right at 30 mpg coming back it averaged 27 (tons of headwind most of the way home)   Prior to this trip I filled up and my mpg averaged 23.6 for a 60/40 city/hwy mix   So far I'm very happy with the vehicle.

Replying to: silverrogue (Jun 09, 2008 4:15 am) First tank: 34, 2nd tank: 33. 70/30 hwy/city. Some slightly spirited use of CVT during 2nd tank on rural hwy. 65-70 mph on hwy. Original Conti 4x4 Contact tires. Replaced with Avids during third tank, so will likely improve. Altitude: between 5600 and 5900 MSL. Driver only. Lots of A/C on first tank, some on 2nd. Regular fuel. Replies to this message: pitkeys (Jun 14, 2008 9:29 am) stevedebi (Jun 26, 2008 4:52 pm)

Replying to: pitkeys (Jun 10, 2008 8:09 am) 3rd tank (1st on Avids) = 35+.   Same roads, same WX, same pump, less A/C, but 300+ pounds for part of the distance. No hypermiling tricks. Replies to this message: stevedebi (Jun 26, 2008 4:52 pm)
