Hi there,

I purchased my SL Versa (Canada) Dec 1 and I am loving it. I am especially enjoying the bluetooth and XM sat radio is very addictive. I have been a Nissan Owner for the past 15 years and can honestly say this is the worst milage I have ever had. Here are some stats, basing the milage on and fill up directly after the fuel light comes on.

1st - 483 km --- unknown fuel cap
2nd - 491 km - 43L fuel = ~8.8L/100km
3rd - 503 km - 45L fuel = ~8.9L/100km
4th - 505 km - 44L fuel = ~8.7L/100km

This is fairly suprising since this is the same FE I had with my leased 2004 2.5 Altima

If anyone is having similair milage in Canada, I would really appreciate a reply.
Thanks in advance

Not sure what those numbers translate to here in the states, but low mileage seems to be an across the board concern with the Versa at dealerships. No word as to why yet.

I think I can help shine some light on this.

Firstly , 8.9litres/100km = about 25mpg for our American neighbors.

The poor mileage seems to be due to several things.

1. It's a new car, has to break in bla bla bla
2. It's winter. this causes a dive in mpg because
a) Winter Tires
b) have to let the car start and run for a minute
c) even after warming the car and we start to drive it, takes time for the transmission etc.. to warm up, further taking away from gas effeciency
d) they put in anti freeze additives into the gas during the winter, and this seems to rob a few mpg's.

Example, I purchased my 2007 Sentra in July. By the third gas tank, I was getting about 620km/42 litres. This was about 70hwy/30city, and drive at 120km/h on the highway (my sentra seems to get the best mpg around 108km/h)

Now that it is winter (winter tires, warming up the car etc..) I am lucky to get 550km for 42litres, usually 530-550km. It seems that the cold robs gas mileage a lot with the cvt's.

My mother's friend bought a Versa about 5 months before I bought my Sentra, and I know she said she gets over 600km/tank and costs about $45 to fill up (that was at $1/litre), and she does a lot more city driving.

Hope that helps.

it all depends on how you drive your car... like me i drive it like i stole the thing and i use to get around 17 to 20 miles a gallon... well im a hard on my cars but if u take it easy on it then you`ll get better MPG once you start gettin some miles under her belt... i just went over 10k on mine and i notice that im getting better MPG per tank... now im getting around 25 to 30 MPG...

Knock yourself out with the mileage. We have owned out 2007 cvt versa since late September 2007. Have 42000 km on the car and we are hard pressed to get 29 mpg highway. Not a happy person. The dealership here says that Nissan Canada does not recognize this as being a problem. I have had the Computer reset but nothing changed. I have attempted to contact Nissan Canada but they only refer us back to the dealer level and the dealer says that there is nothing that they can do.

So is there any one out there that has any solutions for this problem??????
