i was curious what average mpg people were getting in there 7th gen? i drive like 2/3 city and 1/3 freeway and i barely get 20mpg. i drive conservatively and not aggressively so i was kind of expecting to get a little better than 20mpg. thoughts?

also, what is the factory warranty on our cars? i've heard a couple different things. i have the clicking sound coming from my windshield seal when i hit bumps in the cold weather and i was wondering how long can i expect them to replace the windshield without having to pay for it?

thanks guys.

 

Factory is 3/36 BTB and 5/60 drivetrain.

I had my windshield replaced at ~3000 miles due to improper installation from the factory.

Check your passenger side headrest for any noises you are hearing, just remove it entirely and take a ride.

I had noises that I swore were coming from the center console and other places that ended up being the headrest. I made it so the headrest posts would not go low enough to "click" in, problem solved.

 

i read about the headrest causing issues. i will have to check it. i'm fairly confident the sound i'm getting is from the windshield but i'll check anyway. was it hard to convince them to replace windshield or were they pretty willing to do it? i just rolled over 34k and it's a 2010 so i should still be in the BTB coverage, unless it was purchased originally earlier in 2010. hopefully i can still get the windshield done. the drivetrain is 5/60 but the CVT is 10/120000 correct? i don't have any issues so far but extra coverage is always welcome.

 

Hey man, about the mpg. Just to give u an idea, I have been about 50/50 highway/city and driving pretty aggressive getting 23 mpg. Was getting 25 driving conservative

 

Unless it was originally purchased Dec 8, 2010 or later the BTB is expired.

I brought the car in for rattles, I never mentioned the windshield as being an issue, the dealer found the problem and replaced it.

 

Check the sunglasses compartment, if you have glasses in there it'll rattle like crazy

 

2010, 35K+ miles, oil change every 3-5k (Mobile 1 Full Synth 5w-30), 18-20mpgs city, 92 octane.

Meh.

 

The car tells me i get an average that usually reads either 15.9 or 16.2 (never in-between). I drive around town, rural, suburban and highway - sometime conservatively and sometimes I have fun with the car now that I'm just past break-in. It's been either of those numbers since I took ownership of the car since 8 miles on the odometer.

Yes, I realize there's no true history on the car's efficiency or my driving patterns....

 

2/3 highway 1/3 city. 25.8 MPG hand calculated, 24.2 MPG on the computer.

 

19.1-20.9

98% city. Run Nissan Ester change at 4k, 91 Shell V-Power, Stillen SRI, UDP.

 

I'm getting exactly 20.93 mpg over the last year and 3 months. Average 45 miles per day, probably 70% highway. 91 octane. Also worth noting, I have many performance mods, but have not yet tuned the car to be as efficient as possible in using those mods. My driving style is probably more aggressive than average. Lastly, this is calculated for exact mileage. The car's computer always reads much higher than I'm actually getting. It says that I'm getting 22.3 overall (1.37 mpg better than what I'm truly averaging).

 

Since the car was purchased 56070 miles, 2314.242 gallons used = 25.64 mpg

 

I get about 23!! Mostly highway with a little city!

 

I average about 20 mpg's in mostly, (75%) city driving. I also use premium gas, (91 octane) primarily.

 

With only 1000k miles on the car the computer says I Avg 18.5. I've never calculated it.

I drive mostly Highway so the Avg sucks but I'm guessing my right foot has a lot to do with it.
Also once it's broken in the mileage should improve a little.

 

Mines is 22mpg 50/50 split between city and expressway driving

 

Better than my 16.2 - anyone know if there could there be a reason for this that I'm not aware of?

 

2013 with 1816 miles. 50/50 hwy/city I was getting 22.0 completely stock. Now with k&n panel filter getting 21.4

 

Your terrible 16.2 is usually maintenance related. Air filter, spark plugs, etc

 

1,250 miles - I'll have service take a look at those things, I figured that's what the car averages with varied driving; after seeing the mileage everyone else gets, I'm feeling a little sour about the $$$ I'm spending for 93 octane lol

 

Yeah that MPG sucks.

I avg ~24 mpg on 91-93 octane. Have just under 60k miles with a Cat back.

 

wow, thanks for all the replies...lots of good info. it looks like i'm getting somewhere right in the middle. which is ok, but i'm going to have to get some mods done and put new plugs in the car and maybe i can squeeze a few more mpg out of her. i have been running 93 octane but i read that our car is designed for 91 and 93 might not burn off completely and cause carbon buildup. would it be better to run 89? my area only offers 87, 89, and 93. i figure if it runs a little lean that's ok.....

i also read someone saying there's an "oil" guy on here? i need to get some trans fluid to do a drain/fill.

looked for a spark plug how-to to see if it was a project i wanted to tackle and couldn't find one. anyone know if it's terrible or easy?

 

Let me say that if you have hands bigger than a three year old....be prepared for some frustration. My first took 6 hours. After the second 100k I took it too the shoppe! In all honesty, it isn't that difficult, it just takes patience and 50 universal joints on your socket!!😄

 

avg 22.5 on the computer using 93 octane .. bout 80/20 highway/city

 

JerZmax856, try resetting your mpg on the car computer. Also calculate it manually and see if the car is close.

 

I drive roughly 60/40 hwy/city. I generally get between 20.5 and 21.5 MPG depending on how heavy my foot is. Hand calculated, of course.

 

14.8MPG, 11.2 MPH average.

 

Thanks bigdnno98 - I'll give that a try

 

Mrmctl ouch. 14.8? Wow. Terrible lol

 

I get 19.5 mpg city/highway

 

I drive 70/30 highway/city. I have never reset my computer (15,xxx miles). Always run 91 octane. 25.8mpg. When I have hand calculated mpg, it is always very close to this.

 

Where are people getting 91 octane? In mass you only 87, 89, or 93?

 

no


sunoco station, rt 9 shrewsbury eastbound side, next to autozone and home depot. Consistently one of the cheapest gas stations in the area for all grades (87, 89, 91, and 93).

 

I should've been more specific, in boston I've never seen any gas station with 91 octane. I saw a post above that said 91 octane is better used for these cars. I would use it if it were available as I'm sure it's little cheaper then 93

 

West coast doesn't have 93. Cali, AZ for sure run ANC 91. Which is actually crappier than reg 91.

 

Hmm ... now that you mention it I haven't noticed 91 octane in Boston either. I work in Cambridge but drive through Boston (surface streets) from the South Shore and pass tons of gas stations. I never fill up in the city because gas is usually cheaper where I live.

I'll pay closer attention during my commute.

 

I run 93 and get 22 mpg in city traffic.

 

2011, 24000 miles, I use 91 or 93 octane and the cars computer says from day one it is averaging 22.8. Mainly local driving with not that much highway.

 

20.9 perpetually. I drive about half highway and don't baby the car. If it's mostly highway, closer to 22.5. If it's mostly town, high 19s.

This is all computer MPG. Like the guy above, I've found it reads about 1 MPG high.

 

I drive with a lead foot so my computer average is 19 - 20.5 MPG. 70/30 highway/city. Though, when I cruise at 70 instead of my usual 80MPH. I get around 32 - 34MPG highway due to a tune.
