Im not sure that the highschool dropout mechs at nissan are dumb enough to waste there time like that. Although the thought crossed my mind.
That is probably what they did, up on a lift with someone running it through gears while the other guy watched. Of course it won't do it on a lift because there is no load on the drivetrain. The worst mileage I get is 6 mpg driven flat out on a race track, I doubt they were able to achieve that on ordinary roads.

Call Nissan Consumer Affairs to get your case a jump start.
