FWIW --- my experience ...
I recently had to rent a Nissan Altima for two weeks - an idiot ran a red light
and wiped the front off of my vehicle!!
Driving the Nissan around town, lots of stop-start driving and using the
cruise control as much as possible (even for as short as ~4 blocks) I got
29.6 mpg.
Do not use cruise control for going up-hill.... if there is no traffic behind
you
it is better to use constant throttle position and lose a bit of speed....
because the cruise control witll increase throttle position to maintain speed
and thus uses more gas..
