I bring my cars in for every little thing before the warrantee expires.

The X had a problem where it was intermittently turning over upon starting, but no ignition.

They narrowed it down to an intermittent key chip. Go figure that?

Well, I got a new key. But that doesnt make me feel all warm & cozy. It's a new truck WTF?

As far as Nissan goes, Im happy with them, but, I've never had to bring back new cars to the dealer this much in the past ever.

Between the Z and the X, they've been back about 8 times each.

And my early calculations of gas milage are not so happening. I expected 21 MPG and at first conclusion, I'm getting 17MPG,, again, WTF?

I would have bought an Escalade if the best milage I could get was 17MPG???

how many miles I imagine its still breaking in. Also there is no telling what all they are puting in the fuel or not puting in the fuel right now with the prices so high. Might be getting some stuff that just isn't great on MPG. Try some different gas stations.

Ahhh, Well, I guess it is what it is.
Gas prices, heating costs, taxes, and work. I just refer to the definition of life below.

Life: a test to see how much sh!t you can take before you die.

Hi everyone.

In conclusion, The 05 gets about 18 MPG at BEST in highway traffic at around about 80MPH as a constant. I dont know if Im happy or not about that, but I do need a winter vehicle, and I really love this truck for some reason.

In comparison, the new 06 505 HP Z06 Vette 16 city and 26 MPG highway. Thats pretty respectable numbers. Too bad it cant convert to a 4X4 for winter.

18MPG. If I'd have known that I would have bought an Escalade.I got sold on the 21 MPG highway. And, I really like this truck. But for the expense, I would have went for the extra horsepower.
