Nissan altima 2005?

cant say,you dont state the incline.
if you are going up and down an 11% grade over 1 mile or a 2% grade over 20 miles ,these factors will change the results and the fuel comsumption for comparison.
also if the engine is off you will have no power brakes or steering and on the 11% grade you will die before you reach the bottom and then fuel milage wont matter
