Is the Nissan Rogue good on fuel? What it would cost to refuel Tennessee's most popular car
One of the most important financial factors to consider when searching for a new or used car is the cost of fuel. Thanks to modern technological innovations and a global push to reduce carbon emissions, vehicles are more efficient than ever before. The Nissan Rogue is easily one of the most popular vehicles in the state of Tennessee. So, how much should 2025 Nissan Rogue owners and potential buyers expect to spend on fuel in Tennessee? The 2025 Nissan Rogue small SUV has a 14.5-gallon gas tank. Tennessee's average state gas price (at the time of writing) is around $2.70 a gallon according to So, $2.70 a gallon multiplied by the SUV's 14.5-gallon tank gives you a cost of $39.15 to completely refuel a 2025 Rogue in the Volunteer State. Since the Nissan Rogue achieves 33 miles per gallon combined, $39.15 worth of gas (the approximate cost of a full tank) in Tennessee equates to a driving range of about 478 miles (33 miles per gallon x 14.5-gallon tank) before needing to refuel again. A 2024 advice blog post from Kelley Blue Book claims that the average driver travels close to 14,489 miles a year. Dividing the average annual miles a Rogue in Tennessee can accumulate (14,489 miles) by its driving range (478 miles) equals the average times drivers need to refuel the SUV in a year (at least 30 times). A 2025 Nissan Rogue in Tennessee has a minimum annual fuel expenditure of about $1,174.50 based on the following factors: Cost of a full tank of gas based on cost per gallon ($2.70 a gallon) multiplied by the Rogue's tank size (14.5 gallons) = $39.15 Average annual driving range (14,489 miles) divided by Nissan Rogue full tank range (478 miles) = 30 full tanks of gas a year Cost of a full tank of gas for the Nissan Rogue ($39.15) multiplied by a year's worth of fuel (30 tanks) = $1,174.50 to refuel the Nissan Rogue a year, assuming the driver travels an average of 14,489 miles a year When it comes to fuel costs, the Rogue is among the most affordable SUVs to own. Japanese automaker Nissan's small SUV is one of the most efficient small SUVs in its segment. The Toyota RAV4 is a best-selling small SUV. It gets 30 miles per gallon combined. Another popular small SUV, the 2025 Honda CR-V, also achieves 30 miles per gallon combined. Nissan's small SUV is one of the few models in its segment to use a three-cylinder engine instead of a four-cylinder engine. This powertrain setup makes the Rogue more efficient than several key rivals, allowing for more driving range despite having a similar tank size. The 2025 Nissan Rogue starts at $28,590. It comes in five trims. The Rogue uses a 2.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine to produce 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque. Voice recognition Remote keyless entry Cruise control Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite of safety features The 2025 Nissan Rogue is a "comfortable, fuel-efficient compact SUV with plenty of technology" according to Kelley Blue Book. It has plenty of cargo space and standard driver-assistance features, says a vehicle review by U.S. News & World Report. Nissan's small SUV is a best-selling small SUV because it's affordable and safe. It's a Tennessee favorite and it also happens to be made in Tennessee. The Rogue's incredible fuel economy is just a small part of its overall appeal.
