Which is averaged since the previous reset, according to the OM and SMs around here. If that's true, then my readout has been running much lower at between 26 and 28 vs. pump calcs of 33-35 (first three tankfuls, rounded and from same pump over same route).
I've had MPG readouts on many cars and they've all been lower than real world.
Some of these have been instantaneous updates (more or less), rather than averaged. IMO, that's more useful (if accurate) since you can vary inputs to conditions to get max MPG. And that can teach one a lot about how to use the powertrain for best MPG. And is kind of skippy to watch when you hypermile.
However, this can distract one from being on top of road awareness.
My Nissan minivan is rated for 18 combined under the new ratings at fueleconomy.gov and I get 21.5 combined (tracked every tank manually over 124,000 miles).
So it can be done, but usually people can only get 3 or 4 mpg better than the EPA rating without going to extreme hypermiling techniques. Like your Rogue, my mileage didn't settle down for the first 5,000 miles and didn't really hit its stride until after 10,000 miles.
It's not difficult to get better-than-sticker MPG.
Don't forget that the EPA rates conservatively and always has their caveat on published figures. For example, on our '93 Grand Cherokee a Jeep sales rep and I used to trade beers on our weekly MPG receipts. We were always in the mid twenties with the 4.7 V8. I can't recall what the EPA was then on that rig, but I'm sure it wasn't that high, even with he old way of scoring.
Remember, it provides a ballpark and comparison, not a guarantee.
had my rogue now since 12/07, currently with 28,000 miles on it and still running without any problem. just drove up and back this 4th of July from Williamsburg, VA to DC, in almost 100 degree heat, and the car drove smoothly, in and out of traffic, and A/C was very comfortable.
Any one has info on this?
Thanks.
you may want to check with the person who sold you the car, or if during the sale, they hooked you up with the service team that would be working with you (dealerships are now doing this regularly - they realize that a lot of their income comes from having their new cars serviced in the dealership and the relationship with the customer). hope you enjoy your new Rogue! have over 28,000 on it and still going without a problem!
know if this was adressed on the 2009 model? My daughter wants to buy one.
Thanks
Mike
