Yes. On a long motorway run, I've got as good as 33.5 mpg.

:oI love those Germans they don't cease to amaze me with their quality builds and their engines... Imagine a V8 audi doing an impressive 28mpg while my I4 altima is still struggling with a mare 30.8mpg, in general thought I believed those big engines consumes more gas but I'm more oriented nw.....lessn learnt, don't judge d size of the engine, cos some V10s return more mpg thn some I4s

If you don't find the thread useful, then why did you click on it? The title was (and still is) quite clear, leaving no doubt as to what the contents of the thread would be.

I don't have any uncles here, and certainly don't have a "popsy", so I guess that rules me out.

Don't worry, this 2013 you will own a car not less that 5 years old with digitized odometer readings. Don't claim it, work for it.

As long as you're happy with the performance, the consumption figures kind of pale into insignificance. I've driven the Sedan with the 3,0 V6 (a friend's US import) and it goes pretty well.

are you kidding me, I can't believe you guys think that the mpg on dash display is accurate. No it's not. The best way is to fill up your car, check the odometer and drive , fill up your tank. Calculate the miles you drove from your odometer and divide by the gallons of fuel u added.
That's how it's done people. Dashboard display is wrong. Way off . My maxima shows 25mpg and I don't get close to that . I do it the old fashioned way and that's the best way.

Car and driver did a series way back and found out that most automakers dash display is off as much as 25 percent. You can't blame them cus your dash display is an approximation.
I challenge any of you to do it the old fashioned way and keep a mileage record and compare with your dash mpg.
You will see what am talking about

You're conflating issues. The mpg calculated by your car is not 25% off. Go ahead and post a link to the article you cited. You're comparing a car's window sticker mpg to actual driven mpg.

You car's mpg calculation is simply (miles per hour driven /gallons per hour burnt).

Where the discrepancy comes in is in determining how much fuel was burnt in one hour. As such, the mpg displayed in your car is just an estimate but a very close estimate.

My car says I get 25mpg. That's what the onboard computer says but that's not true cus I calculate it manually with a pen and paper writing down the odometer readings and how much gas I put in.
No one is talking about window sticker here . The window sticker is in an ideal driving at 60mph with no wind resistance and cruise control on and no AC. No one drives like that.

Any decent driver knows that that value is always over estimated. Try it for yourself and see
