What a car!!!!
Just completed 6,750 mile cross country trip. 111 degres in Texas, 113 in the Mohave desert, 12,500 foot mountain roads in Colorado, extreme handling needed on the pacific coast hwy. and Blue ridge pkwy. East coast fuel was 87 octane 10% ethanol, mountain states was 85 octane pure gas. Funny thing was I got 10% better mpg with 85 octane pure gas. Comfort was outstanding. I never adjusted my seat, we had 8 suitcases, mpg averaged 34.7 figured the old fashion way miles divided by gallons. I found the on board readout was usually 2 mpg high. Mpg figures include gridlock in L.A. and San Francisco. Not a single thing went wrong and my 2010 "S" model has never had a malfunction. Excluding California I saw only 10 Cubes on my journey. Nissan is really missing the boat not promoting a car so in tune with the times.
