Nissan Maxima Gas Mileage

The mid-sized Maxima is Nissan’s top of the line passenger sedan. While the Maxima’s 3.5 liter V-6 engine produces plenty of get up and go for the sporty four-door, gas mileage ratings have become a liability as gas prices have risen. The 2008 Maxima scores a highway ranking of just 25 miles per gallon (MPG), albeit revised.

For over two decades, the Maxima has been equipped exclusively with its well-respected six cylinder gasoline-powered engine. it’s time that Nissan expands the options to include either a hybrid choice (adopted from the Altima) or perhaps a fuel-efficient and torquey turbo-diesel (with a return of a manual transmission option as an added lure for the enthusiast).

Note: the EPA tweaked their testing procedure, starting with the 2008 model year, with the end result being that the 2008 MPG estimates are now lower than previous years. As always, YMMV.
