    Same here. What year is yours?
    Decent car btw, but the V4 engine revs up loudly and tends to hum a lot.

    my brother in law said the same thing. He had a 2006 TL I think and then he sold it and bought a 2006 Maxima. He said he gets better mileage in the TL than the Maxima.


    Paying for premium fuel sucks.

    My wife has a Hummer H3. We calculated 16.5 MPG.
    My old Mustang gets about 18.


    Speaking of which, a guy at work just had to overhaul and replace all the batteries in his Prius. Cost him about $3,800. Its only 4 years old or so. The guy at the dealership said the batteries only last 4-5 years max. It basically ate away all his gas savings. Has anybody else had this experience?
