2016 Versa · 05-31-2019, 12:59 PM

I filled the tank back up in the Versa Wednesday and even though I've broke 50 MPG a few times in other cars this is the first time I've ever got 50+ MPG on back to back tanks in any car I've owned. The last few weeks have been cool enough that I didn't need to use the A/C and I'm sure that contributed to the good MPG. The past 2 tanks were also the first time I'd ran Marathon gas in this car and both tanks came in at over 50MPG. Other brands had been coming in at anywhere from 42.35-47.97MPG. It's getting hot enough now that I'm going to soon have to start using the A/C at least part time so I'm expecting my numbers to start dropping too. Even though I don't expect to get that mileage when I use the A/C it's nice to know I've got a car capable of 50MPG if driven right. I'm going to try Marathon a few tanks with A/C usage then try another brand with A/C usage and see how they compare but right now it seems there's something about Marathon gas that the Versa likes.
