What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Infiniti M

Infiniti M Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Fuel economy is abysmal around town. I guess that's the price you pay for going grocery shopping with over 300 HP. However, on the highway it's very possible to exceed the EPA mileage number. see full Infiniti M review
2006	4dr Sedan 335-horsepower 4.5L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	V8 power--it's a gas guzzler and could've used an extra 1 or 2 speeds more since it revs so high at highway speeds. see full Infiniti M review
2006	4dr Sedan 335-horsepower 4.5L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	78,000 miles primarily city driving and rarely use AC-16.9 mpg. 4.5 L V8 great power train with RWD-great fun to drive. see full Infiniti M review

2012	4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I get around 17 city/25 highway. Not impressive but this is not why you buy a car like this. see full Infiniti M review
2011	4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I get average about 22 MPG with 80% of highway driving, this is with baby footing of the car, in town and climbing the hill, the milage can drop to 18-19. see full Infiniti M review

2008	4dr Sedan 275-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	needs a 6th gear, since there is too much revving in 5th gear while cruising. they put a 6th gear in the 2009 version see full Infiniti M review

2007	4dr Sedan 325-horsepower 4.5L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Averages about 18.5 mpg in mixed suburban/urban/freeway driving. Can get thirsty when you get on the gas, but duh... see full Infiniti M review
2007	4dr Sedan 275-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Large cars get poor milage. 18-20 mpg would like an option to trade some performance for added MPG. see full Infiniti M review
2006	4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Often avergaed as low as 16mpg on a tank-full of gas. see full Infiniti M review

Nissan Xterra Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Most people who drove or owned xterra, complain about fuel economy. I say bs: compare it with its true, truck-based SUV competitors - and there are only 3 of them: toyota 4runner and fj cruiser, and jeep wrangler rubicon. Thats all! All others are not to be compared to xterra - they are just car-based SUVs (even new nissan pathfinder is just a car!).rnWhen you compare xterra with correct competitors, you will find that its fuel economy is excellent: my trip computer and calculations show the best economy of 10.3 l/100km on highway at 95 km/h without aircon, on cruise control, on a warm day. My worst is 19.3 l/100km during heavy winter offroading through 3 feet of snow (and it was quite wet snow), using 4x4 low with lockers. From my comparis see full Nissan Xterra review

2012	4dr SUV 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range	I don't see how the fuel economy could be improved, given what the vehicle is. But I can't say that I am happy with the poor fuel economy. see full Nissan Xterra review
2008	4dr SUV 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range	Fuel economy is not the best, I average around 15-16 in the city and 18-20 on the highway. see full Nissan Xterra review
2006	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range	Although the 2005+ gets better fuel economy than the previous incarnation, it won't compete with the light weight car-based CUVs on the market. If you want the strong chassis and off road performance you will feel it at the pump. Off road modifications like extra armor, dual spare tires, larger tires, and gear don't help either. see full Nissan Xterra review
2003	4dr SUV 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic RWD	Mileage is terrible for an engine of this size and power output. see full Nissan Xterra review
