Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / July 20052005 Quest gas milage
I just bought a new 2005 Quest. The gas milage I received on my first tank of gas was 16 mpg. What are others getting on their Quest? I am really disapppointed since the sticker said 19 - 25 mpg. I feel Nissan has lied to me to gain a competative advantage if in fact the norm is 16 mpg for this vehicle. Please let me know what your experience is. Thanks > I just bought a new 2005 Quest.

From what I've been reading, the gas mileage will go up as mileage goes up on the vehicle. I'm seeing similar gas mileage as you on my Murano but I've also noticed that it's going up as my mileage increases.  Signature<<<SgtRich>>> Chicago, Illinois, USA 2005 Nissan Murano SL AWD you may want to read the sticker more carefully, it says right on the maroone label "your mileage may vary" And it probably will > I just bought a new 2005 Quest.

Better to wait and see what everyone else is getting on the Interweb. Over the July 4th holiday we did around 1,700miles with the air conditioning going, average speed was 54mph to our destination and 65mph return (when we stopped at rest areas we kept the car running so the longer the stop, the slower the ave speed). The overall average MPG was 24.4mpg. I didn't think that was too bad considering the air conditioner was running at least 90% of the time. Our 2004 Quest hit 10,000 miles during the trip.

If it's the latter, that is definitely on the high end. Especially with the Quest coming in at 4000 pounds. This was all from the computer. If my wife would not have insisted that we kept the van running at stops (food, restarea, etc) the mileage would have been better. Our trip was 850 miles one way taking 2 days. I reset the computer when we got back and our around town driving seems to be showing somewhere around 19mpg. Either way, it sure is a lot better then our Ford Expedition. That thing was a gas hog.............. The Quest sure is nice to drive on the long hauls. Oh, I also had installed a trailer hitch and had a cargo carrier attached. It worked out great so most of our large bags were kept outside leaving more room for the kids. I just had to watch it on some of the drive entrances that had the extreme dip. With the lower Quest I can't just fly into parking lots like I used to with the ol' SUV cuz the cargo thing would scrape sometimes... No harm though..... > Was that from the mileage computer or calculated manually? If it's the > latter, that is definitely on the high end. Especially with the Quest > coming in at 4000 pounds. I've found the computer on my G to be quite accurate, even more so than when I was doing it manually. The computer knows EXACTLY how much gas goes into the engine and will be much more accurate than the paper method. Actually I guess it's pretty good on the highway. We just took a 3.5 hr trip, and each way I got 24.0 mpg at an avg of 56-58mph. -SV > My 2004 Quest w/ 12K miles still gets only about 16 city/22 hwy.
