I have an auto 97 and get around 25mpg.
Correction to that, 25mpg at the worst.

I just finished a 400 mile business trip, 75% interstate driving with
speeds around 80-85mph. I filled up today and averaged 27.9mpg in that
time.

96 Maxima, Automatic, 123k miles on the odometer.

29mpg on road trips
26mpg daily driving (80% highway)

My mpg went up ~15% right after I replaced a faulty knock sensor. I
was hovering in the 22-23mpg range before the repair.

Nirav



'00 3.0 w/75K:
26 highway
22 otherwise


Does a fauly knock sensor throw a code? I've been disappointed with the
mileage I've gotten since I've owned the car. Dealer says nothing's wrong.


I'm considering advancing the timing next time it's in to see if that helps
a bit. I only use premium gas.


Similar and worse numbers here. '00 SE w/53K:

26 highway
19-20 city

I only use premium gas. Colorado front range gas is oxygenated year
roud, so that is not helping fuel efficiency either.

Since your quite a bit above seal level, perhaps you should try a bit
lower octane, like 89.

The owner's manual also says it is okay to use lower octane at 5000
feet. So I did try unleaded plus for a few months and noticed my fuel
efficiency dropped. So I switched back to super. Maybe I do have a
faulty knock sensor.

2001 GLE automatic, Im getting 17city ad approximately 23 highway. The
car has 47 K miles and I always run premium fuel at least 92 octane as
directed by Nissan. Now that were on the subject is this as bad as I
think it is or can I improve my mileage? I do not have a lead foot and
am always conscious of my driving ad acceleration. Thanks.

Something is wrong. I have a 92 SE five speed with 204K that I bought new.
I get over 30 on the road and 20 to 22 in town, and I like to accelerate.
I'd have it checked out.

Change your engine coolant temp sensore. Pls note, there are probably 2.
One sends the temp to your temp gage. The other sends your temp to your
ECU. Replace that one.

My wife's 98 Altime went from 22 mpg to a more respectable 24-25 mpg
when I replaced hers. These figures are with my lead foot.

'99 SE 5 speed using 89 octane fuel

28-29 highway

21-22 in suburban Chicago traffic (not fun in a 5 speed by the way)
