GM has the tightest tolerances in the industry, especially internal engine. BTW Check out my latest long term durability comparison between Cadillac and Toyota. Cadillac wins easily in this unbiased test with odds grossly tilted towards Toyota and Cadillac still won.

Averaging 19.6 for several thousand miles. Closing in on 10K miles.
This average may be all I get out of this car. Next update in winter '06, but I think I am really close to what I can expect to get.
My driving habits are probably pretty average. I rarely drive above 65 MPH and average 60 MPH on highways and 35 in city. My driving is a mix of highway and city driving. I rarely use the air conditioner and mostly have the windows down unless I can't stand it.
So Nissan is really aggressive on their estimates on MPG, and imo when you see an estimate on the sticker on MPG, take 5 MPH (20%) off and that is what you can really expect.

high test should bump it that little bit to 20 mpg. ( sorry I didn't go way back into the history again)
