Nissan also has a "quota" for Mpg that they need to make and a turbo four is the way to go at the time.

You do realize that Nissan has the Leaf (and working on other electric & electric hybrids) which helps counter balance the Z & GT-R MPG ratings, as the whole CAFE rating system is a collective number and not per individual car, yet.

Cars with such limited production numbers like the GT-R and Z don't affect the overall manufacturer average much. For everyone of these cars there's like 20 Altimas to balance out the MPG's.
