And there is not a better maintained Maxima on the org than my own.
Hrm.... I'd beg to differ. My 02 Max has had more good-working parts replaced with better good-working parts than most of the Max's on the .org. My folder of service repairs, parts orders, etc got so big that I had to create a second folder for them.

As far as the gas milage... I'd love to hit 400. I've hit 392 a few times when I was on the highway driving 50-60 MPH in traffic for 6 hours (hurricanes, etc). But usually I'm around the 300-325 mark for a tank. VQ35 = Small Displacement version of a gas guzzler!!

The projector is a retrofit from an acura MDX w/ 8000k hid d2s bulbs, the parking light is a 5 LED bulb i made up to match the new LEDs i put the halo's.

I travel from Landover, MD to Brooklyn, NY - a total of 233 miles - every week and only use half a tank, swear to G*D. I have been doing this since 2003 with my Max. What I do is I try to keep my RPM at or below 4000 even when I am cruising at 90-100mph. at 80mph in 4th gear I am usually at 4000 so I kick in 5th to take it up to 90-1000 and hold the revs below 4000. I have only gotten one ticket so far.

meant to say 90-100

Except no one can get 18.5 gallons out of the tank. My car will not function with less than one gallon left. The most anyone has ever reported is a 18 gallon fill up and most can't go past 17.5.


I once got about 435 miles on about 17 gallons of that awesome New Jersey Sunoco 94 gas.


I commonly get 350+ per tank for every day driving. However my commute to work is 20 miles each way and traffic runs in the 65-75mph range.
