Errands along US-27 and a longer Saturday drive touch all three EPA-estimated mpg numbers on the 2027 Nissan Murano: 21 city, 27 highway and 23 combined. The same rating covers SL, Dark Armor and Platinum, all with a VC-Turbo engine Nissan calls efficient and standard idle stop/start. Actual mileage may vary with driving conditions; use for comparison only.

Does the Eco setting on the Drive Mode Selector help? It tunes the engine for fuel economy, favoring smooth starts and constant cruising, but the manual cautions that selecting it won't necessarily raise your mpg, since many driving factors play a part. Either way, every grade has a 9-speed automatic, plus Intelligent All-Wheel Drive to help provide traction.

• Combined 23, city 21, highway 27: EPA-estimated mpg, all grades
• Gallons per 100 miles on fueleconomy.gov: 4.3
• A/C, cruise control and idling stop all change in Eco mode
• For heavy loads or steep uphills, the manual advises against Eco
• Fuel economy may be reduced in Sport mode, the manual notes

Filling up on Friday before the in-laws get to town? Every grade of the 2027 Nissan Murano holds 18.7 gallons, and its capless fueling system keeps fill-ups simple: swing open the fuel-filler door and the nozzle slides right in. Later, check the information display for Distance to Empty, its estimate of how far the remaining fuel can take you.

Which pump handle should you grab? Regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI is what Nissan's manual calls for. It also says to skip fuel containing more than 15% ethanol, because the vehicle isn't designed to run on it. That's an easy pair of rules to pass along when visiting family borrows the keys.

• Tank size on all three grades: 18.7 gallons
• Pump choice: regular unleaded, 87 AKI or higher
• Capless Fueling System comes standard throughout
• Keep ethanol at 15% or less, the Owner's Manual says
• Information display readout: Distance to Empty

Company in town and outings on the calendar? How far will a tank take the 2027 Nissan Murano? The fueleconomy.gov site puts total range at 430 miles: the 18.7-gallon tank times the 23 mpg combined EPA estimate, with all the fuel used before refueling. That number comes from the site, not from Nissan.

Curious how city and highway driving would change that? We ran the numbers ourselves, so these figures are calculated, not published: multiply the 18.7-gallon tank by each EPA estimate and you get 393 city miles and 505 highway miles. Actual range varies with driving conditions. Your own week of errands and company will set the real number.

• Fueleconomy.gov's total range figure: 430 miles
• That 430 assumes 100% of the tank's fuel gets used
• Calculated by us: 393 miles city, 505 miles highway
• Distance to Empty is an estimate; your actual miles may differ
• On compatible phones, MyNISSAN can show miles to empty, by subscription
