#16 of 36 Real World EXCELLENT 2005 Frontier Mileage by dcrhaekte Jul 21, 2008 (12:46 pm)
Replying to: sapper4x4 (Apr 03, 2008 5:13 am) I bought my 2005 Frontier in March 2005. Mine is a XE 2wd King Cab with the 4 cylinder 5 speed. I repeatedly get on average 24 miles per gallon and this includes driving to work on the interstate for 14 miles, one way, and into downtown to the office. If I fill up the tank and take a trip, all interstate driving, I repeatedly get 30 to 33 miles per gallon. My truck currently has 37,200 miles and a ARE camper shell that fits the lines of the truck. I usually drive 75 to 80 miles per hour while on the interstate. I have no need for flash and dash so my truck is perfect and I am extremely pleased with my mileage. I occasionally haul a 4-wheeler or zero turn mower on a trailer and it has adequate power for that. I suggest that if anyone wants a truck but is worried about gas mileage to get the XE with the 4 cylinder and 5 speed transmission. They now have a SE with the 4 cylinder and I do not know the specs on it. Replies to this message: kilo411 (Jul 28, 2008 5:25 pm)

#18 of 36 MPG 2006 SE 4x2 Crew Cab Six Speed by asa Aug 01, 2008 (3:27 pm)
I routinely get in excess of 24 MPG on low rolling hills at 65 mph with my 2006 4x2 SE Crew Cab 6-Speed with the 4.0L. If I drive at 72, MPG drops to about 23. I love the balance my model offers in that I can drive it economically if I wish or I can put the hammer down and enjoy sportier driving with only a small loss in economy.   Amongest the 4.0L models, you'll find that the Nismo 4x4 auto is on the bottom end of the economy scale because its rear end ratio is engineered for lower-traction off-roading. The 4x2 6-Speed SE and 4x2 LE Auto offer the best mileage and are close in economy. Replies to this message: truckwannabe (Oct 28, 2008 7:14 am)

Replying to: asa (Mar 18, 2008 8:42 am) Hi, I am a new owner for less than a week of a new 08 frontier crew SE 2WD LWB vehicle. Can you give me some advice or more information on the subject of 87 vs 91 octane as recommended by the owner manual. Based on your experience, what would you recommend? I live in St. Petersburg, FL. Any info and advice will be deeply appreciated. Thank you. Replies to this message: asa (Sep 06, 2008 4:30 pm)
#20 of 36 87 by moparbad Sep 04, 2008 (7:46 pm)
87 octane is fine.

Replying to: slanteye (Sep 04, 2008 5:19 pm) I second moparbad's apprasial -- 87 Octane is fine. I've never used anything but 87 in my 2006.
#22 of 36 2008 SWB CC SE - 19mpg by smpathy01se Sep 26, 2008 (5:31 am)
I run 87octane. First fill up after purchase on 9/1/08 came to a little over 19mpg mixed city/hwy...50/50. A lot of stop-and-go in the morning traffic. Never go higher than 65mph. Drive like I have hot coffee in my lap most of the time.
#23 of 36 2007 LE, 4x4, v6, Automatic, Crew Cab by brunte Sep 26, 2008 (5:59 am)
Now at 17000 miles my MPG around town is only 16-17. On a recent trip of 110 miles over rolling hills (The Ozarks) I got 25.1 MPG, but that required focused driving. The GPS (after market) recorded a max speed of 65 and an average speed of 56 mph on that trip. I'm using 89 Octane and the bed is covered with a Snug top.     my mpg reading is from the on-board computer, but exact calculation (driven distance/used gas) gives very close numbers.   Overall - very pleased with the truck.
#24 of 36 mpg on 2008, V6 Crew, SE by slanteye Sep 27, 2008 (3:34 pm)
My new truck is almost 700 miles now. I been topping my tank as soon as it is half full. It started at about 15mpg going to and from work(6 miles each way with about 3.5 miles at highway driving); 20 mpg at high way driving with a/c and kept to speed limit. The most recent half tank fillup yielded 16.43mpg, a slight improvement. I like my truck, it rides smooth and quiet and lots of power when needed. By the way, it seems that using gas with ethanol yield lower mpg. Replies to this message: nibblr64 (Jan 05, 2009 5:29 pm) slanteye (Jan 09, 2009 2:42 pm) nibblr64 (Jan 13, 2009 5:28 pm)
