Well it has a 4.0L V6, so I guess I should have expected it. It does have nice power though. see full Nissan Frontier review

Well, the EPA ratings are 15 city 20 Highway. The salesman I dealt with says it is easy to get 20 Highway, and I am not an aggressive driver. The V6 is geared low enough that it does 1800 rpm at 60MPH, so my light foot will help here. We will see ! see full Nissan Frontier review

This 2011 Frontier Crew Cab at 4,000 miles is averaging 19-21 hwy, 16-19 city depending on weather and traffic conditions. see full Nissan Frontier review

Even though it is a powerful V6, economy was on par with much more powerful V8 engines. see full Nissan Frontier review
