The mpg is 20 and that is terrible....and I 'll bet the 20 is a bit high..
Based on what do you make that definitive statement?
If you're talking city driving - yeah, the mpg is probably 20. Highway MPG is much higher.
19 or 20 for city driving is the norm for this car's class.
If you are claiming that 20 is the highway MPG, you're simply wrong.

I have been putting my foot in this car just to see what it can do and I am still getting 21mpg. For the performance you get this car is great on gas from what I can tell so far. Not to mention the spacious backseat and comfort of the ride.

I'm looking for a 2009 SV with Premium and Tech in NY (Long Island). I'm willing to pay 100% cash if I can get it at $34k. Is there any way to send private messages on this forum so I can find out what dealer? The 3 dealers I spoke to are all at list or just below.
Thanks!

Generally a cash deal means they dont make any money off you, because they cant slip in a higher interest rate or make any money off extras like gap insurance. I put down 10k and they still didnt want to budge much. After their first shipment they only had 4 new Maximas on the lot. You may be able to get an SV premium and tech in NY for 34K but I just couldnt pull it off here. I even got in good with the sales director, some flirting goes a long way. ha! I may have been able to get a better deal if I wouldve waited but I have no patience.(btw i was quoted 36.6K)

I don't think that's going to happen - at least not for a few months. I just did a 100% cash deal for a SV with Tech, bluetooth, HID Xenon headlights, splashguards and floormats, but not with Premium, for $34k inclusive of all dealer fees (excluding 3% NC tax).

OK,,, I pulled the trigger today. 2009 Maxima SV Premium w/Tech. Winter Frost w/ Cafe Latte interior. All the toys - premium and tech, mats, splash guards and trunk floor organizer/emergency kit. Invoice with dest = $34,941.
I paid $1000 over invoice. I feel that's a fair price at this point. I just hope I don't regret buying the Maxima when the 2009 Acura TL comes out in September. I'm guessing the TL similarly equipped will be $4k - $5k higher, plus this will be my 4th Maxima.
Cheers!

My 98 Sedan De Ville with 4.6 Northstar gets better than 23 mpg on the highway. Figure it uses premium gasoline, at $0.20 more a gallon. or 5%. 95% of 23+++ =  21.85 +++ mpg. Actually closer to 25 mpg highway. Where's the bargain?

When people makes post like this guy, it shows that some people do not get it. The 09 Max is LIGHT Years ahead of it in Technology, comfort, convience as well as making less polluents.

TCOOP- I also live in NY...which dealership gave you the tech+premium for $34k? I'd love to take advantage of the same deal!

Oasis340 - I made my purchase at Bay Ridge Nissan. They were really cool.. however, they would not negotiate the price until I advised I would put $6000 down. They were holding at $38,800. even with $6000 down they were trying to sell my at $36,000. Luckily, they didn't try to sell over sticker. If they had I would have walked!. I fought for $34k, but to be honest.. I absolutely love this vehicle and if I had paid $36,000 I wouldn't be mad. To me.. this car is worth every penny. I've already put 600 miles on it in less than 2 weeks.. I just can't stop driving it!
