I also notice that once i take the car past 80mph and keep applying the gas there is a very subtle kinda like a whistling sound (almost like the sound of a commercial plane revving up to fly but quieter) from the engine is that normal???

Ok, on serious note, are you complaining about 25.4 MPG? You think nissan (or EPA) cheated you out of .6 MPG? If you can shift at 2000 rpm (and don't rev above 4000 rpm) and drive at 65 MPH on highway , i'm sure you'll get that 26 MPG. I know members reported up to 29 MPG when they were driving on the highway. You mpg depends on your driving habit. I'm lucky if I get 16 MPG!
I have no clue what you mean by the whistling sound. Maybe it's air thats hitting your side mirrors at 80+ mph?
