So I found out that my g/f's aunt and uncle own a section of land on this awesome private lake outside Hamburg.
Couldn't resist a couple of pictures of the Sentra on the last day I was there...

Now I just have to get the SVT up there and get some more!
Oh, and over the whole trip (9 days) from here to Berlin to Hamburg to Stuttgart gave me these results for fuel economy:
Tank 1:
99% highway / Between here and Berlin (in East Germany)
30L (7.93 Gallons)
185 Miles (297.7 Km)
6.2 Miles/L (23.33MPG) (10.1L/100Km)
Tank 2:
90% highway / In Berlin
40L (10.57 Gallons)
283.4 Miles (456.1 Km)
7.1 Miles/L (26.8MPG) (8.8L/100Km)
Tank 3:
95% highway / In Hamburg
35L (9.25 Gallons)
256.4 Miles (412.6 Km)
7.3 Miles/L (27.7MPG) (8.5L/100Km)
Tank 4:
99% city / In Hamburg
40L (10.57 Gallons)
223.8 Miles (360.2 Km)
5.6 Miles/L (21.2MPG) (11.1L/100Km)
Tank 5:
80% highway / About halfway between Hamburg and Stuttgart
35L (9.25 Gallons)
247.7 Miles (398.6 Km)
7.1 Miles/L (26.8MPG) (8.8L/100Km)
Tank 6:
95% highway / Patch Barracks in Stuttgart
41.13L (11.39 Gallons)
272.5 Miles (438.5 Km)
6.6 Miles/L (24.0MPG) (9.8L/100Km)
Total Trip (to Stuttgart at least):
~83% Highway driving
221.13L (58.96 Gallons)
1468.8 Miles (2363.7 Km)
6.6 Miles/L (25.0MPG) (9.4L/100Km)
All numbers in parenthesis are calculated by me (and Google!) due to my car reading in Miles and the gas stations reading in Liters. The first 5 tanks (180L) were in 5L increments due to the AAFES gas coupons I purchased for Esso stations off base, which have 5L as the lowest coupon.
Currently at about 1/2 tank with 150 or so miles on it (horrible mileage driving thru a big ass rainstorm Sunday night).
I'm overall disappointed with those numbers due to my SVT getting nearly identical or better numbers in a larger, more powerful, and faster car... WTH? Of course, it was with A/C on nearly the entire time, so maybe a couple MPG sucked up there.
I'm sure glad Nissan decided to go with the 2nd overdrive as 6th gear instead of making 5th 1:1. Also the fuel cutoff is at 130MPH on these things, but barely has the power to get there in 6th
