Replying to: carnut21 (Feb 04, 2008 4:27 pm) The dealer is saying there is nothing wrong with the car and instructed me to call Nissan Customer service, I did as instructed, Nissan customer service told me they called the dealer and then resited what the dealer already told me ("Your gas milage is normal") and there was nothing they could do to help me because there was no trouble light on the dash panel iluminated. Nissan Buyers Beware, if there is a problem with you're car and there is no trouble light iluminated on the dash the it seems the dealers cannot trouble shoot, The dealer mechanics seem to rely on the car to tell them what is wrong. I asked what the RPM verses speed peramiters under normal driving conditions with overdrive engaged are, I asked if it was normal for the car to Turn 4500rpm  55mph with the over drive off and their top mechanics did not have an answer, all they could say is "There is no trouble light on the dash illuminated so there is nothing wrong with the car."

| 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. | |

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?
