Consumer Guide
Since fuel consumption and emissions counts for such a significant portion of a vehicle's environmental impact over its lifetime, that ranks the Maxima about average overall.
Premium gasoline is required in the Maxima. However, the EPA numbers might be slightly pessimistic; in a recent experience driving a Maxima for most of a week, almost entirely in short-trip city conditions, we easily averaged 20 mpg.
Conclusion
There aren’t any surprises here; the 2011 Nissan Maxima is about as green as you’d expect a larger, V-6-powered sedan to be.
