Nissan’s green PR is all about the electric LEAF, but at half the sticker price and 34 mpg on the highway, the Sentra deserves a look from the ultra-pragmatist. New Sentra models come with one engine, a 2.0-liter four cylinder, and two transmission options, a six-speed manual and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The fuel-miser of the group is the CVT, and yes, today’s automatic transmissions often deliver better fuel economy than their manual cousins. With this combination, the Sentra achieves an EPA estimate of 27 city/34 highway and a combined 30 mpg. With the six-speed manual, the 2.0-liter engine dispenses 24 city/31 highway and 27 mpg combined.
