Is it just me or does this truck suck horribly on gas? I have the Sport Limited edition with the 3.5L engine but i get about 12-14 mpg city and about 18-19 mpg highway.

I have a few bad sensor, the o2 sensor, i replaced one now the other one is being replaced, the 4wd sensor, the 4wd light always flashes and now the Anti Lock light somes on too. What a really dont get is why this truck was made with only a 4-speed automatic trans with no over-drive. The RPM''s are at about 3000 when doing 70 on the highway, and other vehicles are usually about 2000 or less at that speed. I dont think gas would be that much of a problem with this truck if there was a atleast a 4-speed auto trans with over-drive or even a 5-speed auto trans. But becides that main problem, this truck is great!

Thats because of gear ratio dude, nothing you can do about that.

The Altima has a 3.5L V6, your insane if you think you are going to get good gas mileage out of it.

Yes the Outlander is better
