I just took one this weekend with three other people. I drove the max from DC to a place 1 hr north of Philly. I got nothing but compliments from my passengers The car rode great and was roomy enough for everyone. I got 420 miles on 15 gallons of gas while driving at speeds of 65-80 (I-95) and about 600 lbs in passengers and cargo. I'm very happy with the gas milage. One the way back we saw a Ford Expedition LIMO and, later, a train of 8 corvettes cruising down 95
I love my max

 

ill be taking a similar road trip this week with 3-4 passengers and luggage. i was concerned about how the mpgs would be affected, but it seems like it shouldnt be too bad.

 

she feels good on the highway. I was suprised at how good my gas milage was. I did have to drive through some tolls and I gunned it out of the boooooth!


BTW, I saw a light blue tinted 5th gen (with bra?) on the way home. Is that anyone here?

 

Yeah, taking long road trips in the Maxima is nice. I frequently go back and forth between my job in the San Francisco Bay Area and my house in Las Vegas (no, that's not my daily commute ), and I love the ride. Nice, comfy, and quick.

I don't get the kind of gas milage you got, but then I have an automagic, and I tend to drive between 70MPH to 90MPH. When nobody is looking, I gun it up between 90MPH and 110MPH.

Of course, Vegas is THE town to find all the Expedition limos you can dream of, exotic car rentals, and endless numbers of very nice cars. You gotta look cool in Vegas, and as long as you have the dough, it's all for you.

 

Hey T-Bone, you going down to the 'burg this weekend? It's homecoming.

 

im going to the burg the weekend before thanksgiving for the steelers game.

 

Blacksburg....maybe. I hope we can beat Rutgers You...?

 

I remember a couple of months ago taking the Max from CT to Fla., about 1250 miles each way. The ride was comfortable and made it seem less harsh. Makes me glad I bought the Max.

 

that's a hike. I think that the highway is where the max shines

 

Yeah i'm going down friday, but i may come back after the game, if i stay the whole weekend i'll spend way too much money. . .
