My '05 2.5 Altima gets about29 mpg, with 80% highway driving. And it's not as nutless as some other 4 banger sedans.

I'm going to be honest with you guys... the new 2.5L's would run with the OP's car as it stands lol, high 15 second car

a 3.5L... even the base model would lay a slaughter

That's good to hear. I am sure she will get a bit worse as her driving is more like 40% highway and 60% city, I am thinking mid 20's for her, but anything is better than the 14 mpg she gets in the Jeep (although when I drive it I get around 16 city). Good news is that I get the Jeep

25 mpg sounds about right. The one complaint I have about the car is that it just won't hold an alignment. I have to take it in again. And the front wheel wobbles back and forth at highway speed and occaisonly gets worse when you hit the brakes (sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't). Car has 93k on it and it's been through 2 sets of tires and one set of brakes.

The new 3.5L's have the same engine as the Z's do, do they not Morbid? Or is that only in the Maxima's? For some reason I was also thinking that they put some pretty insane gearing in the RSPEC-V Sentra's also, though I can't remember what ratio off the top of my head.. [&:]

What model do you guys have? My wife has aSpecial Edition04 Grand Cherokee, 4.0, full-time AWD. I had her MPGs calculated at 15mpg average, but was hoping I was wrong, guess not![:@]
