Gas mileage is very good. Actual # 's , I'm not sure. That 3.5 is a sweet motor. It has won some awards, I know that. Excellent in the snow with computer controlled 4 wheel drive.
The Murano is based on the Altima platform so it rides almost like a car and not a truck. We went to the dealer to drive a Pathfinder and after we drove the Murano, it was an easy choice.
I would prefer the Maxima but with a 6 month old and a 120lbs German Shepard the SUV just makes more sense.
