So I "heard" that the gas vs. mileage is not what the sticker says. For all of you out there that have a Juke, what kind of Mileage are you getting and what do you have?
I have a Juke S AWD with estimated 25city/30hwy. All driving below was done in 2WD mode.
I've bveen averaging 21-23 mpg in city driving, going less than 35mph, going up and down hills in the east bay, with lights or stop signs every other block. This would be worse case scenario city driving and the Juke still does pretty good The city estimate is 25 mpg, however the EPA sticker that was on the Juke when I bought it clearly states "The expected range for most drivers 20 to 30 mpg"
As soon as I get in an area where I can go 35-45mph or when I mix city and highway driving 50/50 I get more like 26-28mpg. On more open roads with less stops going around 45 mph I easily get 28-30mpg
For all highway driving, 1) averaging 70mph or less I get 28-32 mpg, 2) 75-85 mph gets me more in the range of 25-27 mpg. The highway estimate is 30 mpg, however the EPA sticker that was on the Juke when I bought it clearly states "The expected range for most drivers 24 to 36 mpg"
Given this, my Juke is clearly performing within the EPA specs and I do not see an issue with gas mileage. If I drive like a granny than I get the EPA average estimate, If I drive like speed racer then I get the lower end of the EPA expected range.
FYI- the car computer estimated average gas mileage is consistently 2-3 mpg less then the actual gas mileage (old school method of dividing the total miles driven using the trip odometer by the amount of gas filled)

They should of just put a big old v6 in the Juke and we could of had more HP and the same MPGI'm getting 20 mpg city with FWD CVT.
I do think that Nissan cheated because I haven't heard about any driver getting 27 or higher mpg in city conditions (some stops and idling, speed limit 25-45 miles, frequent turns).
Another small lie (more like a fine print actually) that even though the car is rated 188 hp and 27/35 mpg in reality I can get 188 hp OR higher mpg - the car in ECO mode that most likely was used for the mpg rating behaves more like 100 hp car with emergency boost...
Hwy....another general question: do you consider a relatively short stretch of a freeway (2-15 miles, 65 miles or 100km /h speed limit, light traffic, no traffic lights) "city" or highways?
is it combined with previous hwy miles?Drove in the city about a total of 4 miles in stop and go traffic until we got to the the parking lot (45 minutes ) 24.2 mpg on the gauge.
They need a new editor/proof reader/fact checker.
I was under the impression that it is a servo controlled throttle and eco mode just slowed response through a proportional controller. Essentially just dumbing down the pedal and not affecting fuel:air ratio.If you think about it when you are in eco you have to give it a lot it seems of pedal to get it going witch in turn opens throttle body witch means more air witch means more fuel Jst saying.
Have had my Juke SL for about three weeks now. Noticed I was only getting around 18 mpg in city driving. I recently realized if I drove the speed limit (there's a concept) I got closer to 24 mpg. Guess that's what the EPA based the mileage on.
That's exactly my experience with the Manual. My commute is 30 miles, 50/50 city freeway but split 25 city / 50 freeway / 25 city. My results are best on the city sections providing there are not too many stops. On the freeway the number always drops, especially above 60mph. Overall though for my journey it is a very good result. Over 6000 miles I'm averaging almost 33 calculated properly (ie not the trip computer).I picked up my Juke yesterday, and reset the MPG gauge. I've driven 1/2 city 1/2 highway (Boston, MA area) and the MPG gauge says 32mpg... but then I'm shifting soft, I'm never beyond 2k rpm unless I'm on highway and on 6th gear. (SL 6MT)
1 thing to note was that before I got into the city and just engaging on the highway, the MPG gauge was reading out 37mpg. Then once I left the city it was down to 31mpg, and once I got home I'm back to 32mpg.
I've yet to do my first fill up, so we'll see if the gauge is lying.
My overall AVG is 27MPG, I'm posting my records at FuelEconomy.gov website: https://www.fueleconomy.gov/mpg/MPG.do?action=mpgData&vehicleID=30867&browser=true&details=on
What he said.The dash gauge is wrong, mine is always lower than the real calculated MPG.
