6) The trip computer seems to be fairly accurate. Some feel it may be 1 to 2 mpg too generous, however this could be do to the amount of gas in the line, or overfilling. There is also no car (including the Prius) that has perfectly accurate odometers ether.

I hope you enjoy this car as much as we do.

Wow! Thanks for all the answers.
Regarding the gas countdown being off, I think it might be a case of Nissan being very consecrative. When I had an 02 Maxima, when the DTE (distance to empty) on the trip computer got down to --- and I filled up, it seems liked I had at least 3 gallons left. I don't know for sure as I never looked inside the tank or ran it bone dry till the car stopped running.
As for trip computer, ok, that's not too far off. On my 02 Max, the trip computer was ALWAYS 2-4 mpg too high compared to actual. My Z is much more accurate, within 0 to ~1.3 mpg of actual but usually less then 1 mpg off.
