What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Nissan LEAF

Nissan LEAF Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric 1-speed automatic FWD	At my present rate of .088 per kilowat this car has cost 2.2 cents per mile. see full Nissan LEAF review
2012	4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric 1-speed automatic FWD	You will NEVER fill up with stinky gas at a gas station again ... you'll only stop at a gas station to use the washroom and get a coffee. However, on the subject of "fuel", it is very efficient with the clean electrons. And the feedback is excellent. You always have access to how well you're driving technique is. Plus, you get more information when you look it up on Nissan's LEAF website of your personal driving efficiency and how you did relative to other LEAF drivers in your country or around the world. When comparing purchase prices or lease payments, you must take into consideration that your electric bill will be ONE-TENTH the price of your gas guzzler's gas bill. That means that your $300 per month gas credit card expense will become a mere $30 on your electric bill. see full Nissan LEAF review
2011	4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric 1-speed automatic FWD	Less than $.03/mile for electricity. see full Nissan LEAF review
2011	4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric 1-speed automatic FWD	Obviously, Fuel economy is one of the Leaf's strongest features. The car gets amazing milage. The Battery is 24Kw and I pay 10 cents per kilowatt where I live in Texas. This means that it costs about $2.40 to charge it up completely from empty. From empty I can get about 75 miles of normal highway/city mixed driving. My previous car, a Chrysler Sebring Limited convertible got 23 miles per gallon. So it would take me about 3.2 gallons of gas to go 75 miles in my Sebring. At $3.50 per gallon it would cost me $11.41 to go that same 75 miles in my Sebring that only costs me $2.40 in my Leaf. The price of gas would have to be 75 cents per gallon for my sebring just to match cost of the feul to drive the same distance as my Leaf. I doubt we'll ever see that price again. see full Nissan LEAF review

Nissan LEAF Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric 1-speed automatic FWD	Fuel Economy is the closest category I found for "Range". Fully charged the LEAF says it will travel 100 miles, and in the right conditions (35 miles per hour with minimal stopping) it probably would go 100 miles. For normal driving, I'd say the range is 75 miles, unless the heater is on, then that could drop to about 50 - 60 miles. My commute to work is short and I wanted this car for local travel, to the grocery store, Costco, etc, and for that purpose it works well. Unfortunately in my town there is only one place that has a charging station and that is the Nissan Dealer. If I travel outside of town, I need to find a charging station or be sure I am within 35 miles from home. When I have to travel to Corporate I have to take one of our Gas Cars, since it is on the outskirts of my 35 mile range. To fully charge the car it takes 3 hours, which limits my destination. see full Nissan LEAF review

2011	4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 CVT AWD w/low range	Improved mpg 21/27 see full Jeep Compass review
2008	4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	Rated one of the best for its class see full Jeep Compass review
2008	4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	The Compass has the fuel economy of a 4 cylinder sedan, with the comfort of an SUV. Yet those 4 cylinders put out approx 172 HP, more than enough to get the vehicle hussling down the road at a good pace without feeling gutless. see full Jeep Compass review
2007	4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	Compared to the 13 mpg avg of our 04 Dakota, it was a no brainer. see full Jeep Compass review
