The high cost of new cars is often bemoaned by consumers and keyboard warriors such as us alike. On a MPG basis, fuel economy is excellent. While the MPG numbers are great, the range stunk, presumably due to a small fuel tank. Sticker prices are high these days, no doubt. First, however, the highlights. Thank you, Nissan.
