How it compares
Against the average small sport utility vehicle 2wd in this dataset (about 26 MPG), the Rogue sits roughly 5 MPG above that mark on average, making it a relatively efficient choice for its class.
Five-year fuel cost
Fuelling a Rogue for five years at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis costs roughly $9,500 to $12,000, averaging about $10,750 across the versions here. That is the energy bill alone — it excludes insurance, maintenance and depreciation, which for most owners together exceed what goes into the tank.
The range within the range
Economy across the Rogue varies by about 7 MPG between its most and least frugal versions, which run on gasoline and hybrid. Engine size, turbocharging, drivetrain and even wheel size explain most of that gap, so when you shop a used Rogue check which version you are looking at before comparing its running cost to another car.
How it changed over time
Between 2016 and 2020 the Rogue's average combined economy improved from about 28 to 28 MPG. Redesigns, new engines and added hybrid or electric versions are usually what move the number, so the year you choose can matter as much as the model.
Best year for fuel economy
The 2019 Rogue has the strongest average combined economy in this database at about 31 MPG, while the 2016 is the lowest at about 28 MPG. If running cost is your priority, that is the year to target on the used market; later years may add equipment or safety features instead.
