Ok, then you might try the following.
If you have a regular commute route that you can drive at different speeds, see if you can measure for a week, the mileage with these target speeds each week:
38
mph
42
mph
47
mph
It takes a week at each target speed to normalize the daily variations. Also, it is best if the temperatures are approximately equal and the MPG testing covers Monday-Friday so the weekend mileage won't be part of the testing. If your Altima gets similar performance to my Prius, the ranking should be:
best - 38
mph
next - 47
mph
lowest - 42
mph
The key is to try and vary only one element, the target speed, over each week.
