Bad tank; 15.8. Lots of city driving and super cold temps! Ugh, that was a bad one. Oh well.

Thanks for all that info. Wish I had the cylinder deactivation of the Ram; or the turbo diesel!
Nissan is definitely behind the big three for fuel economy tech. But the lower sticker price makes up for it for a few years.

I did notice though this week that I couldn't get the transmission to drop into top gear at the usually 45mph in the mornings, which would usually be ~1,000rpm. Definitely held gears longer. It does have a transmission temp gauge, which I noticed was solidly in the "C".

I will say, when you need to merge or change lanes and have to step on it, this engine is pretty peppy! I try not to use the boost button often, but its fun!
