Description of the problem	Well the main selling point on this vehicle is that the dealer told me they were top in mpg's with 27 city and 38 highway. After a week or so i noticed that my mpg average is no more than 23. 1. And that was with more than 50% travel on highways with no traffic(never went under the speed limit). I figured it had something to do with it being new and it would average out better later. So after 5,000 miles on the car i took it in and they told me that this is just because every driver averages different and i kept saying but i am not even getting close to the 27 city and i drive more highway. But they told me that everything is normal and they reset the average calculator. After a week it was worse than it was before and i was bringing it back for my many other problems i have with this car. They had my car for 4 days and finally told me that while they had it a check engine light came on saying that my air fuel ratio sensor was faulty. They replaced it and told me that was the fix. I have put about a tanks worth of mileage on it since and i am getting under 23 mpg still. Either something is very wrong with my car or nissan is lying about the mpg's and yes i get that they are presented by the epa but nissan does the test first then sends it to the epa and then the epa tests later on. Either way the mpg's are wrong and i drive to try to get the best mpg's i don't even go over 2,000 rpm's unless going up hill. Which brings me to the vibration from the trans. But that's in another complaint. Nissan needs to fix this problem because i chose this over the honda accord just for the mpg's.
