30+ MPG on highway, 22 to 24 city, 12MPG autox. Now change your oil and clean your CAI filter and maybe you will be up to 30 too, and use 6th gear.

I do oil changes every 3k miles and clean air filter every couple of months. I no longer drive like a little hoodlum on fire. But I do live in Rancho Cucamonga. A lot of smog out here.

How is everybody calculating their MPG? The computer is not going to be as accurate as manual calculation, actually it waaaay off of my manual calculations. I set the trip to 0, fill up, drive, then fill up again at the SAME pump. Divide miles driven by gallons added to get back to full, and you have a more accurate MPG. Mine is usually about 21 in city driving and about 26-27 highway.

^^^ You need to reset the MPG calculator, not the trip computer. Otherwise, the car won't have a clue as to start re-calculating your MPG as you drive. It is 100% accurate when used like Nissan intended. Mine always is.
