My gas mileage sucks in the winter its like 19mpg city.... I think this is because I let my car warm up so much and it takes longer for the engine to reach the optimal operating temperature in the cold weather.

I average 24-25 on most tanks. Over 28 if it's all highway.

Last trip up to Atlanta I went 290 miles on 8.8 gallons, 32.9 MPG

I get 20 when I have fun with it. I've gotten 23 before when I had only a little bit of fun with it. I wonder what I'd get if I drove like a granny...

Same as last week and the week before and the week before. Stop putting gas in your cars people and there will be no more gas posts.

About 320 on a full tank. Semi-aggressive driving and 155,000 miles. Not too bad.

I didn't "cry to have them changed"...I put in my vote for the highest one in your poll and just pointed out that your choices sucked. It just appears a mod agreed with me

I'm going to post a poll, ready.... What's your shoe size?

4.5-5
5.5-6
6.5-7
7+

Vote!

Just did a highway trip this weekend, 28.6 highway, so the car is still doing nicely after 102,000. When it gets a mixture of city/highway it tends to avg. 21-22. If only city, it can drop down to 17.

Maxima still has great gas mileage. But I was driving a Buick LeSabre recently and can't help but notice the rpm's are lower in it at high speeds.

18-19 city
21-24 hwy The problem here is that Im always going 75-90 on the highways, and your gas milage suffers at speeds over 65 I believe.
