Update 11-15-2013 - Average 30.276 miles per gallon and gasoline purchased for 2014 Nissan Versa SV with 1721 miles on the odometer

The first tank of gas was put in by the dealership when I purchased the 2014 Nissan Versa SV on 7/4/2013.  I don't know if the tank was completely full or what the fuel cost.  The first time that I recorded the estimated miles remaining on 7/8/2013, the car estimated 207 miles remaining on the first tank.

So far, I have purchased 66.356 gallons of gas in total.  The average cost per gallon was $3.09 before you factor in the free gas from the dealer.  I have driven 1721 miles in total, as of 11/15/2013.  Total cost of the fuel that I have personally paid is $172.47.

The chart below has details for the total gallons of gasoline for 7 tanks.  I am going to assume that the dealer filled up the 10.8 gallon tank completely at delivery.  There would be 66.356 gallons of gasoline in all 7 tanks, if 10.8 is correct for the first tank.  Most of my driving is at low speeds of 30-40 miles per hour for trips that are less than 10 miles round trip.

The car currently estimates that I can drive 288 more miles on the available fuel.  Add 288 to the 1721 miles driven, and we get 2009.  2009/66.356 = 30.276 avg mpg.  Most of my driving has been at 30-40 miles per hour, so this matches Nissan's claim of 30 mpg city driving.  I have never achieved the advertised 40 mpg highway driving, but I have only driven short highway trips (less than 60 miles round trip each time) at 60-65 mph.
