If an overwhelming majority of vehicle owners are consistently getting lower gas milage than the manufacturers' stated, advertised numbers, then wouldn't such an inconsistency would be grounds for legal misrepresentation on Nissan's part?

One would be a fool to expect a vehicle as large and heavy as the Titan, with that powerful engine, to get gas mileage much better than, say, 10% above Nissan's stated numbers.

But if I'm in the market for a new truck (which I am), and I hear about owners consistently getting gas milage that's well BELOW Nissan's stated numbers with unmodified, stock vehicles being driven with normal payload in good conditions, it would make me wary of buying the vehicle in the first place.


Surely there are some anamolies where certain vehicles simply are getting a little bit better (or a little bit worse) gas milage, though.

Unfortunately, flashing the computer is likely to not have the same performance benefit as cleaning up your computer's hard drive or reinstalling the operating system. If only it were that easy!
