2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It gets almost as much as my 2000 Windstar with 158K miles. I had hoped it would get better. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2005	4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	I tend to drive this thing hard, and on highway trips where I average 80 to 85 mph, the fuel economy is only around 17 or 18. Should be at least in the low 20s. Around town and with my wife driving it, fuel economy is around 20 to 21. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review

2008	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 154-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed manual RWD	Averaging 22mpg for th full 57,000 miles I have driven. Winter mileage is less and summer is more Using winter snow and ice tires in winter months. Hwy tires in summer months. see full Nissan Frontier review
2008	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 154-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed manual RWD	The best so far has been 27 mpg. The worst 19mpg. Average for over 6,000 miles of mostly highway driving has been 23 mpg.

Nissan Frontier Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	I keep a detailed log of fuel economy. I commute on hour each way, every day. 50% of the time is spent at 65 mph on the highway, and the remainder between 50 and 60 on 2-lane country roads. Only a few stops in between. Very consistently getting 21.5 to 22.3 mpg. I rarely rev it above 4000 RPM - only when passing someone. That happens maybe once or twice per tank. I am underwhelmed by the fuel economy. Full-sized trucks with larger, stronger V8s get similar economy. see full Nissan Frontier review
2011	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	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
2011	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	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
2011	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	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
2009	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Even though it is a powerful V6, economy was on par with much more powerful V8 engines. see full Nissan Frontier review
2006	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 265-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I cant complain about the gas mileage it was around 22mpg when new but with a lift and tires I have sucked some of that away see full Nissan Frontier review

2005	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 265-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Overrated to what is identified. I know it is a truck but the mileage is far from what Nissan claims. see full Nissan Frontier review
2004	2dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range	Average 17/21 during the summer. A friends 96 F-150 (also 4x4) gets 16/20 with a V-8. Expected much better mileage from a small truck. see full Nissan Frontier review
