So far, I have purchased 46.526 gallons of gas in total. The average cost per gallon was $3.131 before you factor in the free gas from the dealer. I have driven 1518 miles in total, as of 11/5/2013. Total cost of the fuel that I have personally paid is $145.94.
The chart below has details for the total gallons of gasoline for 6 tanks. I am going to assume that the dealer filled up the 10.8 gallon tank completely at delivery. There would be 57.326 gallons of gasoline in all 6 tanks, if 10.8 is correct for the first tank. Since I have driven 1518 miles, the total average miles per gallon is only 26.48. 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 163 more miles on the available fuel. Add 163 to the 1518 miles driven, and we get 1681. 1681/57.326 = 29.32 avg mpg. Most of my driving has been at 30-40 miles per hour, so this almost matches Nissan's website 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.
