Awesome. Mine is stock, so much more comfortable then some of those guys with SC, looooooowwww profile tires, and stiff springs. I drive from Maryland to CT nonstop, over 350 miles, in comfort. Also... on the highway, I can get around 27 MPG.

something is fishy

O no! not another MPG thread. 27 is when there isn't any backup. I can easily get 25 HWY in rain and occasional bumper-to-bumper traffic. My usual city MPG is 19. I think the Maxima makes a better road car than a city car.

stop flooring your car so much!

i get about 20-22 city and 24-26 highway..
best mpg ever was when i drove my car from southern cali to Grand Canyon..i got 500 miles with half a gallon left in my fuel tank...so that's pretty close to 30mpg...

That's some crazy mpg. The best I got was 350 with about 1/4 tank left.

I hit 490 once. I know I had at least a gallon left. My wife was about to kill me. She can't stand to let her car go down to less than a 1/4. I know!!! It's bad for the fuel pump. In my city driving, I'm lucky to hit 300 miles.

That's way lot of miles on that one tank. I average about 100 miles per 1/4 tank. Wasn't the advertisting for the Maxima when the 5th gen hit the commercials saying that it can go 400 miles on one tank of gas?? or was it more?

sorry i was in a rush when I posted

I guess i meant in terms of power up-top...how does it compare to other to VTEC (which supposedly performs at speed) and other Maximas.
Does the car have to work at high speeds?
damn this question sucks
