15 Hp

I was wondering. A friend of mine has 2002 Maxima, and he got a dyno power rating i think around 252. Are all maximas affected with with 15HP deficit, or some. Also, I am getting no where near the posted MPG. Can people post their average please? My average is 22.4 mpg. Thanks.

There is a HUGE thread near the top of this forum on the whole 15 hp issue and a search will turn up several threads discussing mileage and factors that influence it.

252 to the wheels? Stock? A stock 02 should dyno around 200-215 depending on whether it's auto or stick. Now if he's got nitrous or something then it's possible. As for the 15 hp deficit, there are a number of threads going... start by checking the sticky at the top of the 5th gen forum.

Is that 22.4 mpg on the trip computer or actual calculation? The trip computer is around 3 mpg too high.
