2014 Rogue mpg question???

[BEZ]

Hello everyone!! Recently leased a 2014 rogue and was curious what mpg everyone was getting on it. I had it for like a month and I'm getting 15mpg( thats what it reads on the dash) I do mostly city driving but i believe i should be getting a lot better mpg. What is everyone getting???

[hawki]

15mpg sounds really low. But if you are in break-in period (first 1000mile) and also considering the very cold temp this year. Still I would expect mpg in the 20's at least.
There is another thread on this topic:

And you can track/log your mpg, and benefit everyone at:

If you got a lot of traffic, or lots of traffic light (stop and go traffic), it will definitely bring the mpg down.

I assume the 2014 has the same motor as my 2013 ? We started out at a consistent 25.4 mpg, but it's been dropping ever since. The car has 6500 miles now and is down to a 19.5 average and has been as low as 18 mpg. All highway driving, "we have 1 red light in a 25 mile road stretch." First car I ever owned that got worse mpg as it breaks in.

I'm getting 14.3 mpg, but it's 100% city-driving (Chicago) and short 2 to 3 mile trips.

Hi, I got my 2014 Rogue on Jan 11 and was really dissapointed by the mpg so far about 16.3 with mostly city driving. From the info given it seems that the opinion is that the cold weather is the problem. I just can't believe that, but will wait until I get more mileage and see better weather to compile more information.

For the first 8 tanks, my AWD SL has averaged 24.7 MPG. Here is a link to my Fuelly web page.

They told me after my transmission was replaced that I should reset the mpg after I fill the tank. It was easy enough for me to figure out but I cannot recall how to do it, and since mine is back at the dealer I can't figure it out right now. But just look in your handbook maybe that will tell you. I am getting 27 to 29 mpg, but that is living in the country and driving at least 18 miles between 55 and 65 mph before getting to any stop light.

I heard that before that the cold weather might have something to do with it but i just don't see it being the cause. I went from a 8 cylinder to the rogue because i needed something more economical and I'm getting about the same mpg as i was getting before so I'm really frustrated with it. Nissan also said theres a break in period and i got 1300 miles on it and still the same problem so I'm losing my patience.

[BEZ]

Thanks for the feedback guys if it continues I'm about to go to the dealership and make a show

Keep us updated. I'm still at 14.5 city. Got around 24 hwy on a recent 20 mile run.

I picked up my 2014 SL AWD Monday and just broke 100 miles, hardly broken in. Clicked on the mileage in the info center and it said I'm averaging 30.2 mpg, now that's a good start. I'm looking forward to see if that holds thru the break in.

[mag318]

Today 7'th of March I put another 120 miles on my Rogue taking the wife for a day of gamb|ing at one of our favorite casinos. The drive was 60 miles each way and my speed was varied between 60/70 mph. At the end pulling into my garage I checked my average mileage which was 33.5 mpg. The Rogue now has 300 miles on it and I'm impressed getting this kind of mileage on a vehicle that isn't broken in yet. Nissan touts highway mileages at 32/33 mpg and my Rogue slightly exceeded that today. I'm sure the mileage will only improve as the Rogue gets broken in, I'm very happy with it so far.

On the freeway here on Oahu, I'll get 33-36 MPG going around 60 mph on a half-hour to an hour duration drive. My highest was 36.6 which I haven't reached since.

Around town, I'll get 19 to 24 point something hitting all the green lights.

My model is a 2wd SV. I never go off-roading; this is a family vehicle always on pavement that if anything will be wet from rain.

I figured with less drive line components and likely less weight than an AWD, there would be more efficiency and more mileage so that figured into my choice for purchase. So far, what I've been getting is pretty close to what was on the sticker.

[Rogue Jarhead]

First off those little electronic mileage indicators are neat little toys that are just that, toys. If you want to know your mileage , keep a little logbook in your vehicle and do the math manually. I have never gotten the same result as that little toy suggests. They are in my opinion mostly useless.

Second , cold , cold, cold !! The cold affects mileage wheather you drive a gasser, a diesel or something powered by pee. The cold affects mileage and it's always lower in the winter. It's just that those mileage indicators are new and sometimes showing disappointing results. It's always been that way in the winter but few people ever kept track of their mileage in a methodical way.

Third a gas engine takes about 10000 miles or so to break in a couple hundred or a couple thousand is hardly enough to warm up.

If you buy you vehicle in a winter month, you'll have to put up with disappointing mileage numbers , because you've got two big strikes against you. Cold and a new engine.

[Maximus099]

Record cold this year up here in Montreal and my average according to the indicator is 25mpg driving 50/50 highway/city. Heater on all the time and winter wheels etc. 2014 sv awd 15000km.

[Ferrisfan]

I you oo at my Fuelly page, you'll see a einite downturn in the winter months. It's a combination of more idling(scraping windows and such) and oxygenated fuel. I suggest that you track long term.

[50HIRogue]

It's beyond me to speculate on why Nissan (or any other manufacturer, for that matter) would install a mileage indicator in their vehicle as a feature for the consumer and have it purposely be inaccurate or dismissed as a toy. It shouldn't have been added at all if it was, especially since it was developed and implemented at some appreciable cost to the vehicle (I can code myself). It's programming, R&D that goes into that software do-dad. Regardless, most informed consumers will hold the information suspect anyways or at least as a guide just before simply dismissing it outright. It is natural to not trust technology, I do get that angle, but that said, I'd actually like to know the concise math formula to use when figuring out mileage on our own. Assuming one can divide up a gallon down to ounces, millilitres and so forth over accurate distances without (human) error - a computer usually does this better or with less deviation than a human. To be honest, I don't have a huge chalkboard, much less a log book, to be completely accurate in figuring this out. The kids need to be on time. At any rate, I'll likely still use that indicator between the gauges as a guide. The publications I've read regarding the review of the Rogue do report deviation -and this wasn't a surprise- to begin with. The outcome is always the same. Modify your driving behaviors (outside variable factors like temperature and idling) to get the highest number possible (mpg). To this end, that little toy works. If you don't fit your pants, lose weight, even if the scale might be off. Sounds mediocre, but effective. If I'm hitting 36 HWY and it's off by two miles, as state folks say, "Good enough for government work."

Still, the general consensus seems to be that the AWD Rogues are not getting ANYWHERE close to their ratings.

I am averaging 23mpg. I have 100+ mile commutes, the last section can be stop and go. But most is cruising on highway and back country roads.

The only time I can actually get the rated hwy mileage is late at night, setting cruise to 65mph, and traveling from Pa down to Baltimore (which is a route with a generally declining grade).

I didn't expect the EPA rating. But my old Nissan Versa averaged 35mpg (was rated 38mpg HWY). Now I am averaging 23mpg in a vehicle rated 32 HWY, and 25CITY. I do not believe a vehicle should get a lower combined than it's city rating.

[50HIRogue]

Point taken.

In the industries I've worked in, the product with the best ratings has it's features headline the marketing materials, even though it is not the flagship product. The distinguishing information is in smaller type next to the asterisk or the bottom.
This is where the problem may be.

I think it also validates a point. Nissan put in the mileage indicator that is somewhat accurate, if not entirely. It is in their AWD models. Those aren't getting advertised numbers. Wouldn't it serve their (conspiratorial) purpose more to put in indicators that skew the numbers in favor of a better GAL/MPG ratios in those models, and forget any semblance of accuracy whatsoever? Those indicators must have some reasonable level of accuracy, since the numbers aren't the greatest.

I have a 2WD that gets numbers close to the ratings. But I'd have to go 65 to get it (Freeways in Hawaii are rated at 55, most folks just try not to get caught.) or get a bunch of green lights.

[Ferrisfan]

I don't find the fuel mileage indicator to be too far off when I consider the limitations around what constitutes a "full" tank when I enter the data into Fuelly. I know there is a margin of error there, and I seem to fall in the +/- 0.8 mpg range for that error. I keep that indicator up as a guide since I think the bar graph really is showing me what speeds are giving me the best mpg (50-55 mph).

The problem for me is that ALL measures are well below the published ratings. I've logged 10k miles of all purpose driving at a rate below the city mileage rating.

[50HIRogue]

Understood. It's entirely possible a class action lawsuit could fly. A woman had sued a car manufacturer and won after she had cited her hybrid did not achieve the MPG ration as was claimed by the manufacturer. That was one consumer. Many several owners would have a stronger argument. Particularly folks who log their miles methodically.

[drummerguy]

I recently noticed that if I leave my display set to kilometres it overestimates my gas mileage but if I change it to mpg it underestimates it. I find this rather odd. It is too bad neither is accurate.

[CapeCodChips]

I also complained to my dealer about my 2014 mileage.
From my experience and reading :
~Using Mobile1 0W20 is worth 2MPG over conventional 5W20 oil.
~I inflate tires +3 psi over recommend for lower rolling resistance. DO NOT DO THIS with cheap tires or during the hottest months of summer.
~Nissan puts ECO tires on Rogue's, make sure your replacements are. When my OEM tires reached 71,000 (rated for 60) I researched and bought Continental TrueContact ECO Plus. Better ride, lower rolling resistance, rated for 80,000 miles.
~As tread wears down, rolling resistance goes down (so does traction) and gas mileage goes up.
~Lightfoot on acceleration and braking.
~Additives put in winter fuel hurt mileage.
I recorded every fillup to 65,000 miles. All my conclusions came by doing the math.
