You probably already know the 2017 Nissan Altima as one of the sleekest and most capable midsize sedans on the market today. But you might be wondering how efficient this industry giant really is. Today, we’ll be taking you through the 2017 Altima’s fuel efficiency as well as some other important specs that make it a more-than-worthy addition to your driveway.

2017 Nissan Altima fuel efficiency and driving range

We should lead off by letting you know that yes, the 2017 Altima is very fuel efficient. In the city you can expect to achieve up to 27 miles per gallon, and on the highway that number jumps to 39 miles per gallon! Given the Altima’s 18 gallon tank, this equates to a maximum driving range of over 700 miles, more than enough to get you anywhere you need to go without worry of having to pull over and fill up.

The Altima offers performance with its economical nature as well. Its base 2.5-liter Inline 4 engine will produce up to 179 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque! That’s plenty of punch to give you that added kick of adrenaline from time to time.

How to check fuel efficiency in the Nissan Altima

Of course, these efficiency ratings are calculated based on normal driver behavior. In fact, with smart habits and optimal performance behind the wheel the Altima can give you over 40 miles per gallon. The next time you’re at the gas station, follow these tips to see how well you’re doing.

1. Fill your tank all the way up.
2. Your Altima’s information display should have a trip reader that you can reset. Do so.
3. To get the most accurate estimation of your Altima’s fuel efficiency you should drive it until it has less than half a tank remaining.
4. The next time you fill up, divide the number in your trip computer by the amount of gas you added to fill your tank. For example, if you drove 300 miles and it took 10 gallons to fill up, you achieved 30 miles per gallon.

Easy! This is a cool little tip to help you figure out what you should be doing differently behind the wheel if you find yourself wanting a little extra distance between fill ups.
