but it really was bothering me when one has to be afraid to ask questions on a site that is made for questions, right? nmexmax lol i have no problem with you, i have 2 older brothers and was just trying to break your ***** like i've seen you do in every post i've ever seen you in. no hard feelings and as far as "stop sucking up"...irish your not that great......ok , yes ,you and others like you, are......i've been on here like 24/7 since i found it, are you guys kidding me, i think i have an addiction!!! So many informational threads set up by good members, it just happens that irish is the one i remembered because he's in soo many and of course the home depot sig stands out more than anything. And unless you are a nissan mechanic, come on,.... this info is priceless. I've done more and learned more about my car in the last month then in the last 4 yrs i've owned it!!! It's fuc@ing amazing!!! anyhow, i'm going to go and get a tissue to dry my eyes for now.
lol just kidding!!!! but lets keep the posts to actual maxima info for awhile with say...... just a couple of sprigs of ball breaking to spice it up, you don't want me to start crying again,.... do you????.....i'm out........

I don't mean to divert you from the beating that these guys are giving you but how in the world are you getting 27 to 29 per gallon. That's insane! If I am calculating this correctly, you must be seeing at least 500+ on the odometer between fill ups.
i aint lyin man, I have a canadian max and by my own calc, not the trip comp, I am consistantly getting about 28 MPG, given i do alot of highway driving, but still, the trip calculator usually reads about 27-29, and don't worry your not diverting anyone from the beating........ok were done, bring on the **** everyone.

He's probably not running his tank completely empy, (18.5g), which is about the only way he'd be to get 500 miles @ 29mpg
do i really have to post the cal method? didn't you take math bro? get your fill up a specified amount in L, see the distance you get, that will be your L/X km, straight multiply by these conversions appropriately and you woul;d be right, I NEVER run my tank completely empty, do you? does anyone>? c'mon bro
From your post it seems as if you're looking to get Kilomters / liter.
L =Liters X = variable amount of Kilometers (km)
Explain where I went wrong, and stop the personal attacks please.

and maybe these people should READ, and not have it posted like you tell me to do, every two seconds about the littlest things, NOW all of a sudden it's cool to post it? what a joke, is that not the whole point of this site? whatever dude i'm done with u
ok listen if i were to get say 9.0K/100L,like you state, that would mean I would only be able to go about 5 and a half km before filling up, does that make sense to you, and how does my method suggest I am doing it that way? you see HOW MANY specified litres of gas you used ( ie that you know you put in) and see how far you go off of it, then you can convert this to X L/100K and subsequently to MPG, thats it, i apologize for personal attack, very frustrating though when im the one being attacked from the first damn post

I rarely get over 25 MPG with my 3.5L ..

So where did I **** the bed?

I thoguht it was MPG = Miles/ gal or Km/ L

ok oncew you get the distance you travelled off the specified litres, you travelled say for example 25 Km off of say 2.5 litres of fuel, now put that into the proper units , which = about 9.2L/ 100K, then take it to MPG thats all man, your looking for how many litres you burned up per distance in km, you need to do it this way so you know exactly how many litres your dealing with, MPG does not straight go to Km/L, but rather is stated in L/100K
well im telling you this happened for me, im not saying that it will stay like this, as i have only had the intake on for about 3 or 4 days now, so who knows if it will even out over the next week, which is my sneaking suspicion, but it's a sweet mod in my eyes, and it HAS improved my mileage, but if you listen to what everyone else on here has to say, it's no good w/o any other mods, or it's only for sound, ect, anyways go with what you wanna do
I know it doesn't go straight from km / L .--> MPG, if it did, they wouldn't be km and Miles. 
At least I got you to explain nicely... how do you think we feel when some newbies post..
I already have a GAB and someties go to a JWT intake ...If you ask, you're a

I can't believe I read this thread, but.........to clear up what I am seeing as communication gaps between Nmex and Ratha........
Canadian vehicles have their gas mileage specified in L/100km. Why?.........I don't know. Many Canadians (including myself) convert this back to miles / gallon since that number means more to most of us.
HOWEVER, a Canadian imperial gallon is 4.546 litres whereas a US gallon is 3.785 litres.
Therefore, 29 MPG (Imperial) is actually only 29 * 3.785 / 4.546 = 24 USMPG.

You both obviously give a damn if you're getting all pissy over a question and a response. Try talking to people with respect instead of flaming off the bat and someone might give you respect in return.
tsk, tsk, tsk...

I just did an estimate leaving room for variances. I gave the guy 19 gallons to be nice, then I multiplied it by the 27 gallons that he said he was getting. It came out to 513 miles.
I said 500+ miles because I know that the cars tank is only 18.5 gallons and he said that he gets up to 29mpg, which should give a reading of more than 513 miles on the odometer.

Since you brought it up, I have been on the forums for three years. I am deployed to Iraq / Persian Gulf for the last six months and will not be home for some time yet. I just forgot my login info and so I created a new login. So new? No I am not.
It just seems that nearly - not every one, but pretty close to it - every post I see from you is you getting on someone's *** about something. The whole purpose of the forums is to pool information and to kick it with people who share similar interests with you. If you don't like what they're posting, ignore it, and if it's in the wrong area or a repeat post let the mods deal with it. =D
