TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Nissan Murano

Nissan Murano Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Within today's Nissan, fuel economy seems a far higher priority than performance. The Murano's base engine remains a naturally aspirated, port-injected 3.5-liter V6 good for 265 horsepower. In some applications Nissan's V6 can be thirsty. But in the Murano it's somehow efficient. Much credit is likely due the CVT (continuously variable transmission). Together the pair achieves EPA ratings of 21 mpg city, 28 mpg highway with either drive train--very good for a crossover of this size and power. Ford also offers a naturally-aspirated, port-injected 3.5-liter V6, but rated for 280 horsepower. Paired with a six-speed automatic it manages only 18/26 with front-wheel drive (FWD) and 17/25 with all-wheel drive (AWD)--well short of the Nissan's figures. A new performance engine, a 315-horsepower turbocharged, direct-injected 2.7-liter V6, earns ratings similar to the 3.5's. The new base engine, a 245-horsepower turbocharged, direct-injected, 2.0-liter four-cylinder, does about as well as the Nissan's V6, 20/30 with FWD and 20/28 with AWD. But a four never sounds or feels as a good as a V6, even if it is as strong. If we compare apples to apples, the Nissan scores a clear win on fuel economy. I wasn't able to drive either car on my regular route, so I cannot comment yet on real-world fuel economy. My experiences in other Nissans and Fords suggest that the Nissan's advantage will be larger in typical driving. see full Nissan Murano review

Nissan Murano Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT AWD	Good fuel economy for an SUV and has powerful engine. see full Nissan Murano review
2009	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	My average is well above the EPA estimate of 19- mine is closer to 24-25, with combo city and highway driving. Once at a steady speed, the MPGs hover at 27-33 at both 40mph and 75 mph see full Nissan Murano review
2009	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	My previous vehicle was a Mazda Tribute which was a smaller SUV by comparison. Exact same type of driving got me about 17 mpg vs 21 mpg w/the Murano. I get better mileage than the EPA lists for the vehicle because I hypermile when I can. see full Nissan Murano review
2009	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	Once you are at a steady speed, the MPG climb to above 30mpg easily, whether at 30 MPH or 75MPH. My average mileage is above 24MPG- 5 MPG better than the EPA estimate see full Nissan Murano review
2009	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	Once at a constant speed, the MPG hovers between 27-32- much better then the EPA estimates. My average MPG with combined city and highway driving is 24- 5MPG better than the EPA tests. see full Nissan Murano review
2009	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	Good on gas, about 24 mpg on the highway. see full Nissan Murano review

2006	4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	I get 21 around town, and 25+ highway which I think is very good for a vehicle this size and weight. see full Nissan Murano review
2003	4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT AWD	Good due to CVT transmission in balance with its HP. see full Nissan Murano review

2009	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	Fuel economy in town has been below 16MPG. It�s not bad, but the lack of economy does not deliver exciting performance as it does with other similarly sized SUV�s that get comparable mileage. see full Nissan Murano review
2007	4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	Excellent. see full Nissan Murano review
2006	4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT AWD	For a midsize SUV is very good at 22-23MPG on the HWY. But still is not much, especially at $3.50 per gallon! see full Nissan Murano review
2005	4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	Fuel economy is fine for me. I get 22-24mpg without the trailer, a light gas peddle foot, and under 70mph, But if you accelerate fast and drive fast without reguard to MPG you will easily slip into the 18mpg range. With trailer MPG is 13-15. see full Nissan Murano review
2003	4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT AWD	if you are worried about fuel economy buy an economy car. i pay for the power. see full Nissan Murano review
2003	4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	since day one. I did the calculation about the Fuel Economy and it never went over 16MPG. the computer on board is not correct when it tells you 21 or 23 MPG I drove this car since it has 5 miles till now which is almost 100,000 Miles. Fuel Economy 15MPG see full Nissan Murano review

2010	4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It gets amazing fuel economy, I drive it daily to and from work, constant city driving mainly, I use about 20$ a week in regular gas. see full Toyota Yaris review
2010	4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I am an ultra light foot driver and can consistently get 42-46 mpg in the spring or fall when I can have the A/C off. During the summer I can get about 41-42 mpg and because of our below zero winters I get into the upper 30s for mpg. Overall year round my average mpg is 41.7. The key seems to be the aerodynamics of the 4 door sedan and the manual transmission. Not sure why this car is not rated at better mpg. Could be it is driver style sensitive in that a lead foot driver can get terrible gas mileage and a light foot driver can get easily into the 40s for mpg. I have driven this car 52000 miles to this date April 2013. I use this car to commute to work which includes rush hour traffic. I have also used this car to go cross country from the midwest to Florida. Total MPG so far 41.68. see full Toyota Yaris review
