Re: the MPG questions.
I've been paying close attention to that issue since I purchased my Rogue. I now have 2,200 miles on the car. Getting a sense of the "correct" mileage is really tricky, since A/C on/off, outside temperature, 2WD vs. AWD, wind, hills etc. really play havoc on trying to calculate the car's actual MPG. I've written an extensive review of the Rogue for Epinions.com, in which, I devote a few inches to the car's MPG performance. If you're interested, please stop by and give it a read, and check a review evaluation if possible.
You'll find the review at:

Enjoy your Rogue.
