I have a 2002 Nissan Frontier SE 4x4 Long Bed which is getting about 10-11 miles per gallon in City driving.  I have taken it to the local Nissan Dealer who, after testing the vehicle, indicated that there was nothing he could do about the low milage.  The only good thing about that experience was that the dealer did not charge me for the inspection.

I am disgusted and feel that there must be something to correct this problem.

Any ideas???

That does sound like pretty bad gas mileage. I had a 99 frontier(v6) for 11 years, and got around 19 or 20 on the highway even in it's last year with 289K on it. When I put a little more aggresive tire tire on, it reduced the mileage to 16 or so. My new 2010 (v6)has been getting 20. Something is wrong in my opionion, but I do now know what.

I have an 02 supercharged Frontier....proior to that I had an 04 quad cab hemi....I thought the gas mileage in the Frontier would be a little better but truth be told it is not. I think I am getting around 15mpg but I just filled the tank last night and I am going to keep a better eye on it now.

I know that keep a lighter foot on the pedal will help but if you have to accelerate like a damn turtle that I have to say the gas mileage just sucks and not blame it on driving habits. I mean it is damn right expensive to drive this truck around.

I love the truck but this almost makes you want to buy something else...if I knew I was going to get the same mileage as a big truck I would have bought a big truck...

Hey everyone, name is Will and this is my 1st post. I have a question that maybe someone here can answer. I have the 06' 4.0 V6 auto crew cab SE Apporx 72k miles and I normally would get about 300 miles to my 1/4 tank mark. Recently (last 5 fill ups, diff stations and octane) I barely get to 220-230. Any idea what could be causing this or a remedy? Driving habits have been the same as normal and nothing unusual in cargo loads or traffic delays. I have checked the normal stuff (Air filter, tire pressure, ran a fuel system cleaner through her, just got new tranny fluid in it as well) and cannot figure out what is causing it. Any help is appreciated.

Will
