This may sound like a little sour grapes, but it seems like they drove the TCH first, and then the Altima. Everyone on this (or any other) board knows it takes some practice to learn how to drive an HSD car.

Given the similar drivetrain technology, there doesn't appear to be any way to justify a 5 mpg difference between the Altima and the TCH, unless you don't understand what you are doing when driving the TCH.

I call BS on the writer of the article.
