gas guzzler?
 
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.

Yea, but oh well, by this time next year it will be a trail truck. Gas prices are out of control so i need something alot better on gas.

I was actually going to go with a 2007 Altima 3.5 SE 6-speed, are the outlanders good on gas?

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
