I've got the same car as you with 46k on it. My experience has always been the same as your: 20 local/30 highway. I'd like it to be higher but guess that it's just the way it is. It just doesn't seem that a Nissan will get as good mileage as the other Japanese big 2. It's probably a sacrifice in the name of a little more power. 175 horse is good for a 2.5. It drives pretty effortlessly at 80 on the highway.

I had someone look at the distributor on my car and they put the plugs back on wrong. Does anyone know the order that they are suppose to be in or where I can find out? Any help is appreciated.
 
Thanks, Erica

New Wheels? by rugmankc

Have a 94 GXE that my son now drives and I'm tired of the cheap hub caps. Anyone put inexpensive aluminum wheels on and how do they look and hold up. Color of car is Champaign. Looked at some Sport Editions on TireRack, but not sure what finish will look best on my car.
 
Thanks

Sorry color is Beige not Champaign. Champaign is on my Van. I want the Sport Edition CD, bright satin w/machine lip wheels. Thinking about having TireRack ship them with a set of Michelin Pilots already on the rims and tuned.
 
Any thoughts and anyone with these wheels?

This is fairly complicated, as you must drop the front bumper cover to change the bulb. I have pasted the text here, and the associated text with each step as well.
 
Since this is a new car, why don't you have the dealer do this repair? Its under warranty, you know...
 
In any case, good luck!
