Amazin' V: I'm On My Way To 40 MPG...!!!

I got 37 mpg on my 8th tank, doing 80% highway. I'm on my 10th tank with only 3300 miles on the OD. Once I'm at around 10K, I can see my V getting 40+ mpg easily...!!! And that's IF my engine is fully broken in by then... my old car started getting its best fuel economy at 25K.

- neutral to stoplights, stop signs, and exit ramps
- turn on car, drive immediately
- 65 on the highway, 70 max

Versa engine is amazingly frugal.

Congratulations man. The Versa gets some sweet gas mileage.
Sure does!

I've never blown EPA estimates out of the water before.

It's nice!

:D
John your mileage out of your 1.8 is very amazing. Keep up the good work and I'm sure you will get 40mpg no problem.
This engine is amazing. It's not very refined. It's loud, but that might be due to the nature of it being an economy car and thus, lower levels of sound dampening materials. It whistles and whines (miraculously disappeared when the service guy drove it) and when I turn it off, it sounds like a flock of dying pigeons. But I can't argue the results. 37 is amazing.
Lol. I had the sound shield added by the dealer as it was part of my extended warranty. My cabin noise in the city and on the freeway is minimal. My relatives more expensive cars have more road noise then my Versa. My last tank I got almost 29 mpg. Almost all city with ac and no special way of driving. Lol.
John, watch your cursing in the threads. Final warning.
i friended you john on fuelly....my mpg sucks compared to yours...a/c, letting my car warm up, letting my fiance drive :)
I'm at 267 miles with one click left to the halfway mark... this puts me on pace for close to a 475 tank IF I continue to do mostly highway...

:O

Wow! That's pretty good.
Since my last fill up, I've used 1/4 tank and have 130kms on it. Not too bad for all city, with a/c.
my mpgs haev been increasing as well, last 3 tanks have been approx 570kms and 43mpg.
Wow 570kms. Canadian info right? Do you just drive highway? Are you driving a stick? I'm pretty happy considering I mostly drive in the city to get to work.
I have yet to break 35mpg, but would like to in the future
I don't have any notifications...

LOL!

It says you are my fan, but not my friend
Hmm... my current tank is looking to be a crappy one... only 198 miles and it's already near the halfway mark. I'm usually at around 250 miles with one full click to the halfway mark. Nice blend of City and Highway driving, too, so I don't know what's up.

:( :( :( :( :(
