Replying to: jg28 (Mar 04, 2006 2:08 pm) Auto. All the postings about the 3.0L gas mileages makes me wish I had a 2001 instead of 2002. I've never done better than 23 and that was hwy and premium.   Be happy, I average 15.5-17.5 depending on HVAC use.
#18 of 59 After Market Add Ons for MPG by poodog13 Mar 13, 2006 (6:13 am)
I just bought an 06 Maxima SL and am wondering if anyone has done anything to boost MPG, such as high-end air filters, additives, special spark plugs, etc.   Any proven suggestions out there? Replies to this message: holcomb1956 (Mar 17, 2006 8:20 pm)

Replying to: poodog13 (Mar 13, 2006 6:13 am) Poodog, I have a 06 SE, I am not sute what it gets but I had an 04 Se w/35k that did get 33mpg on the interstate. I would fill up, get on the interstate and drive 300 miles. I had a free flow filter in it as well as a tornado in the throttle body. Total cost for the two was just over $100.00 but as to the 06 SE, I haven't really had it on the road with just myself in it. By the way, I used regualr gas.

Replying to: silverfox1 (Sep 19, 2005 6:14 pm) Silverfox1,   I have two 06's, they get about the same, i.e., in town between 17.9 - 19.0. On the road, if I can keep my toes out of the fuel injectors and set the cruise at 72, I can get right at 30 both both are new and not broke in well yet. My 04 Max SE got 33 on the interstate but I had a tornado in the throttle body and used a Hog air filter. The 04 also had 35 k on the speedo. Hope this is of help to you.

#21 of 59 2000 Maxima City MPG too low by dmaljunk Mar 22, 2006 (6:58 am)
Hi, On my 2K Max GLE with 77L miles I get 28mpg on highway but I get around 13mpg in the city. I mostly drive in the city (NY) with constant stop and go and my trips are usually a few miles at a time. I put in Premium and had plenty of maintenance done on the car, so it's in good condition. How is my highway mpg pretty good while city mpg is way below average? Replies to this message: lmacmil (May 20, 2006 3:06 pm)

I have an '03, and average 24mpg 80/20 city/highway. I use 93 octane.   It's a small price to pay for such a fun car to drive. I suspect Nissan hooked me for life with this car (it's my first).

Replying to: dmaljunk (Mar 22, 2006 6:58 am) The car never gets warmed up in your short city trips so the choke is on, idle speed up, etc. My wife's Highlander suffers from the same poor mileage due to her <3 mile commute.
#24 of 59 1990 SE - 5 speed by moms_max Jul 16, 2006 (1:51 pm)
Hi everyone... My "oldie but goodie" consistently gets 24-26 around town, and 28-29 highway. I've always used regular gas... and have lived in Southern Florida (both coasts), Colorado (western Slope), and now North Carolina. I l-o-v-e my car.....
#25 of 59 loss of gas mileage after coil replacement by azzankel Jul 27, 2006 (5:43 pm)
A few months ago, I had a faulty coil in my 2000 Maxima SE 5 speed(52,000 miles). Had it replaced at a dealership, but "service eng soon" light came on a few days afterwards. Took it back in and they couldn't find a problem (car was running great)and reset the light. Few days later, light came on again...took it back in. They recommended that I replace remaining 5 coils. Since they could not find any problems, and car was running great, I decided to live with the light on rather than spend $700 more. Had always averaged 23-24 in town, and 29-31 on the hwy for the 5 1/2 yrs I've owned the car. In a few weeks, car started acting up and it was a rear coil. Had remaining 5 coils replaced at that point and car still runs great. Here is the problem......my highway miles now are 23-24, and my city miles are 21-22. Took it into the dealer and they can't find anything wrong. Everything is within acceptable parameters. Any ideas why I lost 100 miles per tank full on the highway, and 10% of my city mileage? Again.....this problem started right after I had remaining 5 coils replaced. Anyone have any ideas? Thx!! Replies to this message: dmaljunk (Jul 31, 2006 7:21 pm)

Replying to: azzankel (Jul 27, 2006 5:43 pm) if you had code P1320 and took your time to replace coils then your spark plugs or catalytic may have been affected. You may have detonation.
