2007 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 It gets 34+ mpg in the warm weather and only drops to 31-32 mpg in the winter w/ winter tires and cold weather. Performs as good or better than my V-6 Camry but much better MPG see full Nissan Altima review
2007 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 Fuel economy is in reality considerably better than my previous similar sized and powered car. The mileage in my experience is noticeably less than that advertised in the EPA estimates but I have always found that to be true especially in California see full Nissan Altima review
2007 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 Its a Hybrid so it achieves 32 MPG with my driving style. I traded an SUV in for it, so it doubled my gas mileage. see full Nissan Altima review

2006 Nissan Altima Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 Average 23mph on the HWY with a 4cyl and 175HP! Enough said... see full Nissan Altima review
2007 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 Fuel economy is not bad, but with gas approaching 4 dollars a gallon, and Nissan recommending premium fuel, it still hurts a bit. Update: I just burned my first tank of regular and could tell no difference at all. (No premium or midgrade available.) see full Nissan Altima review
2005 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 In this time of high gas prices a 4 cylinder would be a wiser choice see full Nissan Altima review
