Does the Nissan Altima have good gas mileage?

My commute is almost an hour-long, and I’m in the market for a new car. With gas prices out of control, I’m considering a smaller model than the one I have now. How many mpg can I get with a Nissan Altima?

I hear you on those gas prices! If fuel economy is a high priority, you’ll be in good shape with the Nissan Altima, which gets 28 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway.
Commuting
can throw a dent in your finances, and getting a car that can keep your gas prices at a minimum is essential. Each Nissan Altima trim level has a slightly different gas mileage, so it’s important to know what to expect with each.
Here’s a breakdown of all the options:
  • The S trim has front-wheel drive (FWD) and 28 city / 39 highway mpg
  • The SV trim has FWD and 27 city / 37 highway mpg
  • The SL trim has all-wheel drive (AWD) and 26 city / 36 highway mpg
  • The Platinum trim has AWD and 25 city / 35 highway mpg
  • The SR VC-Turbo™ trim has FWD and 25 city / 34 highway mpg
It’s important to consider what the conditions are like where you’re driving. With 30 mpg being a solid gas mileage, you’ll be in a good position with any of the trim levels. However, if you spend more time swerving through city streets than speeding on the highway, you’ll want to consider that.
No matter which trim you choose, you’ll be getting an adaptable, efficient ride to rely on. Keep in mind that before you can take it out on its first commute with you, you’ll need to secure a
car insurance
policy.
