Total Gas purchased $145.94 - driven 1392 miles - avg mpg less than 30 overall as of 10/24/2013 for 2014 Nissan Versa SV

The first tank of gas was put in by the dealership.  I don't know how many gallons it was or what it cost.  The first time I recorded the estimated miles remaining on the tank it estimated 207 miles remaining on the first tank, as of 7/8/2013.

So far, I have purchased 46.526 gallons of gas.  The average cost per gallon was $3.131 before you factor in the free gas from the dealer.  I have driven 1392 miles.  Total cost of fuel so far that I have personally paid is $145.94.

Total gallons of gas so far for 6 tanks.  I am going to assume that the dealer filled up the 10.8 gallon tank completely at delivery.  Adding the gallons of gasoline that I bought to 10.8 is 57.326.  Since I have driven 1392 miles, the total average miles per gallon is only 24.282.

However, the car currently estimates that I can drive 316 more miles on the gas in the 6th tank.  If we add the 316 to the 1392 miles driven, we get 1708.  1708/57.326 = 29.795 avg mpg.  Most of my driving has been at 30-40 miles per hour, so this matches Nissan's website claim of 30 mpg city driving.  I have never achieved the 40 mpg highway driving, but I have only driven short highway trips at 60-65 mph.
