Mech,

It's interesting how you badmouth my SE-R as a gashog comparable to Suburbans and Hummers, when it shares the same engine as your Altima, had nearly identical (2002) EPA fuel economy estimates, and my lifetime 38 mpg fuel economy beats your 90 day FE by several mpg. Your automatic, despite its advanced fuel-saving features, is more of a gashog than my manual tranny gashog.
