how can i be getting this good of gas mileage???

i have been drive all around town, some hwy, mostly stop and go... but i went over 100 miles, and i have not even used up a 1/4 of a tank of gas! if this hold true for the rest of the tank, i will be getting about 400 miles per tank of gas! the most my 98 maxima ever got was 230 miles.

i find it funny that my 93 max runs and drives better and gives me more gas mileage.. but anyway, is y gas gauge broken or something? is anyone else getting this good of mileage? thanks..

and sorry if i ask some stupid questions, i have only had my 93 max for a few days, so i am not to familar with the 3rd gen's as i am with the 4th gens. thanks again

I get about 300 to a tank of city driving and upwards of 400 on highway driving.

My gas gauge is kinda tweaky though. If you get down to about 1/4 tank the needle starts to drop really quick (ie, moving after about 2 miles of driving instead of like 10 miles of driving)

woohoo, more people from ri!. I usually get about 400 to a tank. If your gas gauge is anything like mine you will be at about 210 by a half tank.

last tank I got alittle over 100 by the first quarter, and had 310ish by the last quarter. Car saw some pretty hard driving too, then I refilled it because I was near the gas station. I need to see if my gas warning light is burnt out or something.
