I visited CO last summer with the 2015 Rogue, did really well in the mountains, the CVT ramped up RPM to increase engine braking when going down hill, AC on the whole time. Check out it's fuel graph and you'll see the 4 tanks standing above everything else. Getting there and the way back not as impressive, 75-80 mph is not it's optimum speed.

Couple years ago took the Impala down to the Ozarks, most up and down I've driven it, 3 tank average on that trip was 29.1. It doesn't engine brake unless you put it in D.
