#4 of 59 Re: Nissan Maxima Owners: MPG-Real World Numbers [KarenS] by duke87nuke Sep 15, 2005 (2:29 am)
Replying to: KarenS (Jun 14, 2005 5:49 am) I have a 99 SE that I normally run on regular 87 octane. It consistently gets 24-26 mpg on long trips. Around local Atlanta traffic I get closer to 18 mpg.

What is the actual gas mileage (city and hwy) for either the 05 or 06 Maxima SL? Replies to this message: holcomb1956 (Mar 17, 2006 8:25 pm) alexstore (Oct 29, 2006 5:31 am)

I use 93 octane and avg. 24-25 overall. Driving the speed limit 55-60 I recently got 32 mpg.
#7 of 59 According to my 98' maxima manual.. by eddie982 Feb 15, 2006 (11:34 pm)
93 octane fuel is recommended, how cum you folks are putting regular in your maxima's????
#8 of 59 06 Maxima SL MPG by leirex Feb 16, 2006 (12:06 pm)
Current mileage is about 2300 miles. From the day I bought it, it averaged 24 or 25 city/freeway combined. This is calculated using actual miles driven and gallons pumped. Display reports 22.8. I use regular unleaded.

I'm looking into purchasing an '01 GLE - any experience with running regular as oppposed to super unleaded as recommended? Replies to this message: kevin32549 (Mar 01, 2006 7:23 pm)

Average between 21-22MPG. This is not relying on the always wrong trip computer. Those of you relying on the trip computer need to manually calculate your gas mileage. The trip computers (even on the 6th Generation Maximas) are consistently wrong. Replies to this message: poodog13 (Feb 24, 2006 6:30 am) jg28 (Mar 04, 2006 2:08 pm) poodog13 (Mar 07, 2006 6:53 am)

This oldie but goodie has been relegated to our second home. But at 155,000 miles it still gets 20-23 mpg around town and up to 28-30 mpg at 70 mph on the highway. Overall average since the day it was bought = 24.5 mpg. And it is still capable of 0-60 in about 6.6 seconds.   They added a lot of do-dads, but I don't think Nissan made a much better car than this generation. And its fit, finish, paint, etc., are holding up quite well - due in part, I believe to being made in Japan.

Another 4th gen owner   I generally get about 22 mpg in town, and on the highway I get:   65-70 mph: 29 mpg 65-70 mph while drafting trucks: 31 mpg 75-80 mph: 27 mpg 75-80 mph in cold weather: 25 mpg (higher drag)   I can generally squeeze out about another 1mpg with regular fuel, but then the power around town stinks and the driveability is also poor with a lot of lagging and surging from the ignition timing getting pulled. If I'm about to do a lot of highway driving I might put in regular, and if I'm going to be doing a lot of city type driving I'll put in premium. On the highway the engine is always running with a very light load and the premium fuel isn't really needed.
