Consumer Guide
The Nissan Murano is about mid-pack and unremarkable, and if fuel economy isn't one of your top shopping priorities, there's probably no need to give it bonus points or demerits based on its mpg figures. EPA fuel economy ratings are 18 mpg city, 23 highway with all-wheel drive--or 18/24 with front-wheel drive.
It's all relative, of course; you could get several mpg better with a compact crossover like Nissan's own Rogue, or more than 5 mpg better with a mid-size sedan; on the other hand, versus some other V-6 SUVs, the Murano's numbers look pretty good.

Conclusion
There are plenty of choices in this class with better fuel economy, although the 2012 Nissan Murano isn't a guzzler.
