As the title says, whenever I drive on the highway my steering wheel moves 5-10 degrees to the right. The best way I can describe it is that instead of the Nissan symbol being centered on the steering wheel is a little crooked as I am driving straight. What is wrong here?

The problem you describe refer to car alignement, like the steering wheel is slightly turn toward right or left and when the car is going strait you just need to have the car align as this will be corrected.

You should be able to tell b/c if you try letting go of the wheel, the car should pull in whichever direction.
If this is the case (poor alignment), you should have it fixed right away or you'll kill your tires from uneven tread wear.

Could be the speed sensitive steering, the check at another speed is vital, obviously we know at high speeds it's off, at 30-40 not pulling hard the car should go straight or alignment is off.

If you can't figure out why your car pulls to one side and that the steering wheel isn't straight while you're driving, you deserve to be flamed.

id understand the flaming if it was an experienced orger but what if hes new to driving, come on give him a slightly larger chance to explaint then flame. hehe that rhymed
First of all, I didn't say my car was pulling to one side.
I should have made it more clear when I said that when the car is DRIVING straight at highway speeds, the steering wheel appears to be sitting crooked. Again, the car itself is not physically pulling to one side.
Yea, I also heard that I can pump deisel fuel and canola oil into my car, is this true?

With that said, should I have the wheel alignment checked? The thing I don't get is that there is no visible sign of uneven wear on any of my tires.

Just get the car align and it will be ok, even thought the steering wheel is not properly aligned it doesn't mean the car is necessary pulling on one side, it 's rather annoying to drive a car with a crooked steering wheel.

I got my car aligned, and it was worse, the streering wheel not the alignment, just take it back to them and it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to correct.
A good alignment shop will make small adjustments with the alignment after until they are to your liking.
I had my car re-adjusted 3 times, my steering wheel is still off-center
