Ok......I don't know anything about O2 sensors 
.
Naw...just thought I'd post on recent roadtrip my gas mileage. From Buffalo to just outside of Boston I racked up 408.8 miles. The Guage was reading 1/4 tank left but I thought I'd get some gas before I entered Boston. Welp...she only took 12.501 gallons. I was like...WHAT! So I even pumped again (which I NEVER do) just to see if it stoped early. Not the case....started her up and the gauge went to its higest position (just above F). That figures out to over 32mpg! This was at a conservative speed. Basically held it at 75-80 the whole way. I was driving and had a 115lb passanger. Not alot of luggage either.
Moral of the story....Maxima's CAN get great milelage. Even old ones. However, I must tell you I have an intake and Y pipe which does make more power...and in return more efficent of an engine.
