TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the 2012 Nissan Sentra

2012 Nissan Sentra Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	The Altima topped the rest of its segment in fuel economy, and the Sentra does the same, with EPA ratings of 30 mpg city, 39 highway. The Civic matches the highway number, but falls two short in the city. The Sentra's trip computer substantiated these estimates, and then some. On the highway cruising at 65 it reported a two-way average of 40. In suburban driving it averaged 32. Driven on the same loop (which included warming up from a cold start) by the same driver, the Civic managed only 27. If both trip computers can be trusted (a fairly big if), this is quite a difference. When driven to maximize fuel economy, the gap was much narrower, 35 vs. 36. In general, though, the Sentra seemed to go another two or three miles on each gallon. Ironically, the main damper on the Sentra's win comes from within the family. Though much larger and considerably more powerful (182 vs. 130 horsepower), the Altima is nearly as fuel efficient, with EPA ratings of 27/38. In Nissan's defense, no auto maker can seem to get much better fuel economy out of a compact (or even subcompact) sedan than a midsize. see full Nissan Sentra review
