finally, a mpg post w/o all these clown bs'ers coming in saying they get 28 mpg on their KA city mile and 38 mpg highway. GTFO w/ that bs.

the KA gets terrible mpg, that was one thing i hated about the car. i regularly got around 21-22 in the winter mixed, and 23-24 in the summer mixed. sometimes i got 19-20 mpg more on the city, and the most i've ever gotten was 26.4 mpg mostly highway. it makes no sense to me how the stupid KA gets mpg of a v6 but it's power output is equvalent of a civic. my KA was running great too.

nissan makes some great cars but in terms of efficient cars, they'll never beat honda or toyota. another reason why i'm never buying another nissan again.
I can go from 24-32mpg depending on how I drive and for how long.

I get around 30-32mpg on the highway. Fully built KA24DE with 850cc injectors and a GT35 turbo lol.. I love my tune.. that's staying out of boost for the most part though. It's more like 20mpg in town.
