So this past weekend I drove to Jersey city - 9 hrs from Brampton (TORONTO) and I averaged 7.3 km/L!! I filled up once when I left my house and it lasted me the WHOLE trip! I was around the corner from my cousin's place and the gas light came on and thats the only time I filled up again!

Just wanted to share my love for the amazing gas mileage on the 2.5!! yeeee boiiiieee!



PS - I have never seen so many altimas and altima coupes in one place, Manhattan was like an altima mecca! And I even saw the altima taxis, looked pretty nice. I finally got to see the Stillen package on this coupe parked downtown and took pics, will post later but I am now officially ready to order myself the fascia, rockers and top spoiler!!

Yea, there's a ton of Altima Hybrids that are now being used as NYC Cabs by the TLC (Taxi & Limousine Commission). The TLC has yet to decide though what officially will be the new NYC Yellow Cab to replace the old Ford Crown Victoria. In the meantime medallion owners are using whatever car they wish (mostly Hybrids - you see a lot of Ford Escape Hybrid, Toyota Pruis, and Altima Sedan Hybrids).

There's a reason you see the Altimas (Sedans) all over the place... It's the #1 selling car in America.

As for the Altima Coupe, I'm seeing a ton of those in the city in more recent months as well... that's cuz it's the sexist car in America
