2007 Nissan Maxima currently receives an EPA rated 21/28 city/highway. With a small displacement diesel, it may be possible to see low to mid 30’s city/highway under the new 08 EPA specs.

Together, this combination reduces CO2 emissions and dependence on pure petroleum-based fuels. During the first half of fiscal year 2007, Nissan will introduce the new Euro 4-compliant, two-liter-class diesel engine in Europe. By fiscal year 2010, Nissan will launch vehicles with clean diesel engines in Japan, the United States and China … http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/NEWS/2007/_STORY/070418-02-e.html
