Averaging 30-31 miles per gallon, mostly highway miles, lowest average was 29.12 mpg. At around 2.50 a gallon, it takes me less than $30 to fill up. Range gives for about 360 or so miles. see full Nissan Versa review

While not as high as advertised, it does have decent economy for a car with such great volume and body profile. see full Nissan Versa review

Good gas mileage, especially for the good amount of room in the front and back seats. Also,lots of cars with good mileage have poor safety ratings due to their lack of mass. The Versa has the best safety rating of the small cars, and sits up higher. see full Nissan Versa review

While the Versa does not have the greatest fuel economy, it was significantly better than any of the Subarus I wanted, and the fuel economy is comparable to other compact hatchbacks. see full Nissan Versa review

Not as good as sticker read, 33 HWY is very hard to come by unless you drive every where 50 mph. see full Nissan Versa review

Anecdotally I have heard that the Versa gets significantly worse mileage than it is supposed to get (which is worse than the Fit to start with), whereas I get better mileage with my Fit than it is rated for. see full Nissan Versa review

The EPA revised the fuel economy downward soon after I purchased the car, my fuel economy is very unimpressive despite careful, moderate driving habits. see full Nissan Versa review
