16-17 in the city. 25-26 on the freeway. Not bad than other comparable cars. see full Nissan Maxima review

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

I consistently get 25 in the city, and 33-34 all highway. Excellent fuel economy for any car, let alone one with a 3.5L V6. 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

Even though it says it requires Premium in Summer some where in that manual it states I can use 87~89 octane gas without harming the engine. That is helpful to know. With premium fuel and my mainly highway driving with only 2 persons on board we get 25MPG see full Volvo S80 review

I've had this car for 13 years now and the mpg has always been very good. Being a European model (2.4 litre petrol auto - 170 bhp) it does not compare directly with any US models. I have the air con on 100% of the time. If I keep to the speed limit - 80 -85 on the speedo I get 35 mpg (English gallons!) without any problem. On a holiday trip to Portugal doing long distance driving and at slightly slower speeds - say 70 mph on the speedo - I managed 40 mpg over nearly 1,500 miles. In town stop start driving I will usually get 25 mpg. Impressive figures I think for a 13 year old vehicle weighing as much as it does. see full Volvo S80 review

Very good fuel economy overall but running the AC continuously does produce a noticeable 2-3 mpg decrease in fuel economy. see full Volvo S80 review
