Above we see the newly revised government figures for Versa fuel economy.

None of the results that we see are particularly out of line with the newly revised EPA estimates. I do acknowledge that for those who purchased cars before the new figures were available this is a bit of a headache and a letdown, it has also widely been acknowledged for years that EPA estimates have, for the most part, been high.
I would like to thank everyone who has participated in the survey. For the benefit of future Versa owners, I will leave this thread stickied and locked. If you would like to discuss the final results, feel free to create a new thread.
Mileage as of last fillup: 29265
Economy (Lifetime/Worst/Best): 29.79/26.12/34.72 MPG
