Now that I have over 1500mi on the clock, I
thought I'd fill'r up, reset the trip computer and
see just what kind of mileage I am getting on
strictly around town driving, (haven't taken it
on the highway as yet).

So, I did just that...filled'r up and reset everything.
I drove it easy, stop and go, up to a maximum of
45mph, several times, stoplight driving....for about
35minutes.

When I got home, it said I was averaging 28.9 mpg!!!!
Can this be right??? ...surely not, that seems awfully
high!...though I'd sure like to believe it! IF this IS
accurate, then, boy do I recommend, (with the price
of gas what it is), that you just ease your car up to
speed, (be slow and easy on the pedal), I am very
happily shocked at this mpg!

Now...I realize this is really not a "true" world test
since it was so limited and controlled....but, just
the same, thats a really good mpg average...kudos
for the Rogue!

What say you....anybody done the same test as
this before? ....tell me....tell me. Thanks.
