Great job there gd420. I've often done the same on my 03, in fact I'm pretty sure I've got a post on here from last year when I was making a lot of round trips between Austin TX and Ft. Collins CO. I don't think you'd do any better at 55, in fact you might not see a drop off if you kicked it up to about 62/63 MPH. Keep up the good work.

Replying to: smarty666 (Oct 10, 2009 5:19 pm) 2009 Maxima. Worst tank 23.2. The car has 9100 miles and is driven carefully. State highways with lower speed limits usually will return over 30 mpg while interstates at 70-75 will be in the 27 range. Best tank 31.2. Got to keep your foot out of it! My driving is largely rural and highway. The big frontal area pushes a lot of air and affects higher speed mileage, imo. To illustrate...an interstate drive with the wind will do 29 plus and will be in the 26's coming back into it.
