I must admit that, for now, I am a little disappointed by the fuel mileage of the Rogue.

In Canada, they advertise the car doing 31mpg city and 39 highway. In the reviews, they averaged 35mpg during their tests (and they usually do not care of the car as much as we do since they will give it back after the test).
It seems that in the US, they are more strict which lower results.
But at least with these better-than-real results, we can have the ecorebate

I also have to admit that I had a lot of expectations for this car as I previously owned a RAV4, 4 cyl, manual and I did 8l/100kms (35.5 mpg) during summer and 12l (23.7mpg) during winter.

As for now, with more than 2000kms on the odometer (I had it with just 10kms, impressive) with 110 kms on weekdays (about 75% highway, 15% city, 10% traffic jam ) I did on my last fill 9.4l/100kms (30.2 mpg), which would have be good for a 75%city 25% highway.

I thought that it may be my driving which was the cause of the problem (moving from a manual car to a automatic or CVT may not be so easy after all). So I change my driving style and we will see.

Tonight or tomorrow, I will have to fill it up again and for now, it seems to go well, I may succeed to reach the 800kms mark with one fill.
