Driver72 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Somebody might have said this already, but I wouldn't put too much faith in the trip computer. The one in my Maxima always reads optimistic. Fill up the tank and do the math, it's the only true and accurate way to know what you are getting.

Drift Monkey Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 [quote name='Austin2.5i']You're right, DriftMonkey.

B-Power-B Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 You used the search function! +1. I am still looking forward to my first road trip. I am also thinking ahead and looking for a used Valentine 1 radar detector. Glad you had a safe and fun trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aigochamaloh Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 A lot of these mileage threads eh. I may not apply as I am NA, but driving on the little two lane highway here in Wine Country at about 65 mph, the display was reading 37.9 mpg when I finished my 30 mile trip. Can't complain. edit: I've been tracking the optimistic trip computer to my hand calculated mpg as well, and it's about 1.3 mpg too optimistic on average so far. So I only got 36.6 mpg on my little trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Power-B Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 yes, mine so far is an average of 1 mpg optimistic. (only 3 tanks so far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeusdublin Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 does anyone know accurate the distance to empty gauge is,my petrol light comes on with 50 miles left is this accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkypdx Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 In my 2.5i I usually get around 25-27 mpg city. On longer trips I generally see anywhere from 29-32 mpg depending on how the trip goes. The highest I saw the trip computer reach was 37.8 mpg over a 150 mile trip. The trip computer is the normal 2 mpg high so I wouldn't be surprised if I only got about 35 mpg. At the end of that tank I manually calculated mileage and it came to 34 mpg. Either way I'm happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mill Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I can get 29-30 mph going 55, no hills or downhill... I dont let gas mileage bother me with this car. After a few pulls the average goes down and never goes back up. If you baby it, it will treat you well. I dont think its bad for a 4-wheel-turbo'd-sludgebox(auto).

MrTris Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I can average about 20-22mpg, and depending on how hard I drive, around 240mi per tank. This is up from the 17-19 I was getting when I first got the car. I seem to get better mileage in sport mode, though, I'm leary of staying in it all the time.
