Not sure about the rest but if that is an example then it is useless. Most of the rest are close to 22-23 MPG while my last tank was 28 with my mild hypermiling techniques and local route knowledge. Give me a deserted road and no traffic lights and I could probably put along at 45-50 MPH and get close to 48-40.
The 1999 Nissan Maxima is averaging 23.6 MPG based on 13 drivers and 688 fuel ups. Two screwups that you noted are not going to change the numbers notably. The graph at 1999 Nissan Maxima MPG Reports | Fuelly looks normal -> no systematic bias.
