Gas Consumption Not What I expected
2007 SL, will my gas milage get any better the more I "break in" the engine? Right now I am getting around 25 city and 30 high way without stepping on the gass too hard. I only have 4000 miles on it.

Re: Gas Consumption Not What I expected
Unfortantly it really depends on your driving habbits. But that does sound low. What is your tire pressure set at? But I can tell you it does get decent milage in the summer. I have driven them for a short while when I worked for Nissan and the Versa Wagon (5door) got close to 27MPG around the city and 34 on the highway. But I was running 36psi at all four tires and it was also June when I drove it.
It was a fun little car to drive... but I will stick to my gas sucking Z32. Although the cargo space is nice......

Re: Gas Consumption Not What I expected
Since there's only 1 thread in here and I'm in the process of buying a Versa right now, thought I'd ask how the mileage has done since last fall.
I've owned new vehicles (read that: 1 new vehicle and a couple of new engines) before, and the mileage is low for the first 10-15K and after that there's usually an increase.

Re: Gas Consumption Not What I expected
That is about what we are getting and have done for the past year, I agree, definitely not what I expected.

Re: Gas Consumption Not What I expected
That is about what we get if my husband drives. We have a 2008 SL with 17k miles and a CVT and typical mixed driving I get about 33mpg. I have gotten up to 38.77 on a trip. I half-ass hypermiling techniques and that helps a lot - like, never move straight from gas to brake, always coast in the middle.
