MPG reading doesn't seem accurate!

Hi,everybody! I do a mix of Hwy/City driving (mostly Hwy.) The mpg reading right now shows 23.7 on my 2wd sl. When I set the trip meter & figured it myself (234 mi on 8 gal),it figures 29mpg! Has anyone else noticed these same discrepancies?

YES.. I've read many times regarding many different Nissan products that the mpg computer in car is terribly inaccurate.

Clearly the proper way to measure your mpg is by calculating the two factors that you can be sure of.. 1.) miles based on your odometer reading and 2.) gallons to fill based on the fuel pump.

Consider the in-car measurement to be a novelty at best.

Also.. note that to get the best readings based on the fuel pump at the gas station, be very consistent in how you refuel. Basically.. let the pump go until it shuts off based on pressure. Don't continue to click and fill, until it runs out the tank onto the ground.. lol.

The Rogue mileage master would have to agree that the trip computer is inaccurate based on his own mileage calculations.

Thanks for the feedback! I feel better now! I was thinking my Rogue wasn't getting very good mileage but now I know!!

Mine isn't very accurate either, but it is much better if you reset the milage every time you fill up!
