My question is, do the rotors really need to be machined, or is he just trying to get more money? My car has 76k miles on it, but I've only had it since 61k and I've only been moderately hard on the brakes in that time. There is a pulsing sometimes on longer stops from speeds of about 55+ mph, but a few ppl on here have said it might be a buildup of pad material. If all I need to do is change the pads, then I'd rather do it myself. But should I also get the rotors machined like this guy says?

2000 GLE Highway Mileage Question
I have a 2000 Maxima GLE. Filled up the tank right before hitting the highway. Then I reset the trip odometer. Put 111 miles (all highway) roundtrip. After getting back off the highway, filled up again and checked mileage. The tank took 2.966 gallons. It worked out to 37mpg. This seems a little high to me. I thought the estimated highway mpg was about 27-28? Any thoughts?

The question comes as to how you know that is the quantity of gasoline you used. If you are using the reading off the pump, then that is likely where the error comes. Not that the pump reads the incorrect amount, but if you are gauging the tank being full based upon when the pump shuts off, then that is where the "error" is occurring. No two pumps shut off at the same point, and the shut off point can vary wildly. The only way to get a good handle on fuel economy is averaging over time. In other words, take a bunch of MPG readings and then look at the trend. And even then, you'll see your fuel economy change with the seasons.....

Miss Fire
I have a 20th Anniversary, 2001 Maxima. Keep in mind my plugs and coils are good, what else can cause it to missfire. I am thinking maybe the cat, or maybe the Mass air flow sensor. What other things can I check. Keep in mind it doesn't always missfire, just hear and there.

7.5" is the width of the rim. Wider than stock (7"), but most people who go with 18's prefer a 8" or 8.5" wide rim so you can go with a wider tire.

Memory seat malfunction....
Just the other day, I changed my rims & tires for winter ones. I had to put 2 tires in the trunk and 2 in back of the front seats. (in the leg space area in the backseat). The problem is that I left the auto adjust feature on. So when you open the door, the seat moves back, the seat moves to the original position when the door is closed. Since the tire was behind it, the seat didn't really move back because there was no space. Ever since then, the seat won't go back anymore when the door opens. There was a point where it moved just a tiny bit but it never got better. The memory seats still work if I press the buttons on the door panel. But I couldn't find anything in the forums that had a trick to reset it or something like that. It's not a major problem, but it sure is annoying. I have long legs and kinda got spoiled by that feature to get in/out of the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
