Wow – that’s how I feel about the fuel consumption I achieved with the new Altima. I looked back at my weekly test drives to find other vehicles to compare with, unfortunately most of the mid-sized sedans I have driven recently have been hybrids. But last winter I did drive the new Camry and averaged 8.5L/100km in the cold weather.
This week was perhaps not as cold as previous weeks but still somewhat on the chilly side until the end of the week. I managed to eke out an incredible 7.5 L/100 km with the Altima and more time on the highway would have easily dropped that down even further. Last week with the Equinox it cost me $100 for just over 500 km of travel — this week with over 400 km travel only $30 – impressive!
Overall, I do like this new Altima. It has a quiet ride, lots of space and is easy to drive and easy on the pocket book at the pumps — next up is its little brother, the Nissan Sentra.
