It is between 25-29.2 on the highway depending on headwinds. It seems sensitive to wind, mileage-wise. In town is excellent. In 4k miles the worst tank has been 23.2 when it was brand new and very cold out. City mileage is understated in my opinion. see full Nissan Maxima review

Depends on a lot on your right foot. Driven like a Prius, 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway. Driven normally with occasionally throttle bursts, 27 MPG highway, 21 MPG combined. The CVT ratio spread maxes out at 2200 RPM at 75; a little high for MPG. see full Nissan Maxima review

City driving is brutal on mpg. If you get 12 mpg you are doing well. Highway miles are great - over 30, so great on trips, stinks for commuting. see full Nissan Maxima review

This car loves to suck gas especially when pushed. And not just any gas, the high compression VQ35DE engine requires premium. In my experiences anything less than 91 octane will yield poor performance and odd engine noises. I average 17-18 mpg at best. see full Nissan Maxima review

For a car with AWD and 143 Horse power and weight, it is good. It is much better than any other crossover out there. If I didnt live in such a hilly area with many lights Iwould probobly get around 27mpg average. on the highway i get 28-29mpg Hilly. see full Suzuki SX4 review

It seems that a car built for 2008 should be getting better mpg than this car gets. I would think that 25+ mpg around town and 33+ mpg on the hiway/freeway would be more reasonable. I only get 20-21 and 27-28 respectively. see full Suzuki SX4 review
