Getting LOW MPG reading on 2007 MO. Bought it today!!!

[Singhman]

I'm not sure whats normal for this vehicle, since i bought it just today! I bought a used 2006 Black Murano SL with 70,000 miles. I reset the MPG reading when i first bought it, and just drove around town for about 20 minutes or so, and noticed the mpg is at 14.1. Is this normal? Do i need to drive it more than that to get accurate results? A bit worried right now. thank you

its only an average, so your MPG may vary....

I get 20 MPG using 89 Octane a drive 100% city in my 2009 SL FWD. Also, my gasoline is 100% gasoline, no ethanol.

I also get the same, around 20-21MPG (combined city/highway) on my 2009 Murano SL FWD.

Although sometimes it depends on your driving style or probably the previous owner had a poor engine maintenance, but 14MPG on your V6 murano might be low, I won't doubt if it's a V8 engine.
