MPG thread
1993 Maxima SE 5speed:
Gallons filled per gas pump = 14.8
Mileage per odometer = 342.4
Calculated mpg = 23.1mpg
City = 95%
Hwy = 5%
What is yours?
***EDIT***
The above was from last fill up. Today's fill up:
Gallons = 14.1
Mileage = 343.4
MPG= 24.3mpg
Since the last fillup, I dont' believe my driving habits have changed. I still am more than 95% city driving. The only mechanical change was cleaning throttle body and EGR, 'Gunk' brand fuel injector cleaner and new NGK plugs

highway without a/c on - 28.5 mpg
highway with a/c on - 26.5 mpg
highway miles per tank - 330-360
city - 15-18 mpg
city miles per tank - 280 or less
(gotta love having a turbo when driving in the city )

well, i never let my tank go all the way down...but i fill up with a quarter tank left.
My last tank was about 268 miles or so, 12.6 gallons to fill up.
268/12.6= 21.3MPG.
That was basically around town....if i drive highway a lot, I can get 300-340 miles on a tank, which is between 23 and 28 mpg. Not too bad, but compared to my friends who all have 4 cyl cars, its terrible.

i finally did a check on this. I drive mostly highway. probably 75 highway 25% city and i got 21.6 miles to the gallon. not bad. And then i drove a long trip all highway and i got 27.4 miles to the gallon. The 21 was semi spirited with some racing at lights and stuff like that, so im happy with my mpg.

Turbo/Befor&After
With out the turbo I was at 23-26mpg city 28-31mpg highway
With the turbo I'm at 21mpg city and have not made any highway miles yet.
I've been playing around with the car alot so guess that could contribute to the shortage in fuel milage in the city. I'm expecting to get same highwayMPG.
With how the stock piping from the manifolds to the actual 1 7/8 exhaust was run,I should get better gas milage just from the loss of exhaust backpressure/restriction! It's all 2.1/2mandrel bent pipe to a free flowing muffler.
Let you know how it does highway soon.
