Unlike other car fuel economy surveys, TrueDelta's Gas Mileage Survey includes questions about how and where a car was driven. So you can get an idea of the Nissan Altima's real-world gas mileage (MPG in US and UK, L/100km elsewhere) based on how and where you drive a car.

About TrueDelta's Nissan Altima Gas Mileage Survey
Extended Warranty
Considering an extended warranty? You don't want a provider that might go under. Warranty Direct, a 27-year-old firm, has sold two million contracts and paid $500 million in claims.
Government estimates often aren't indicative of actual, real-world gas mileage for the Nissan Altima.
Here, unlike anywhere else, you can learn what actual fuel economy and gas mileage (MPG) to expect from the Nissan Altima based on how you drive and the roads you typically drive on. TrueDelta's Gas Mileage Survey (formerly the Fuel Economy Survey) is the only one to ask Nissan Altima owners about driving style, terrain, A/C use, driving speed, and other factors that can affect the Nissan Altima's fuel economy and gas mileage in the real world.
And, members can now filter real-world Nissan Altima gas mileage results by the most important factors.
