If you want to achieve optimum MPG, then do what you can to maintain, say, a steady73 MPH- my 2020 SR will give me 33- 34 MPG at 73 MPH- using cruise control. I don't worry about mileage in traffic or in town- it's still around 18 even with some loud pedal...your results may vary, I have had eight Maximas going back manual gearboxes and 190 HP, and they all returned far better mileage than what you are seeing...take the emergency brake off?? COLD tire pressures are 33 PSI all around..and as stated above, why do you "have it idle"?? That computes to zero MPG..check your warning lights for "operator error"
i wish I could go 73 on the roads over here, this the big island, we talkin mostly 44-60 without getting a ticket.. I will have to adjust my tire pressure a bit. I was at idle a lot because of the drive thru, running into the store and leaving the 3 crazy kids in the car, a little bit of traffic, the usuals lol. But today I managed to do as little idle as possible, had to drive across island to get some things done.After driving 120 miles and some courtesy idle and AC for my boy I’m at 26.8.. So relieved!!

With all due respect, and as a father, you are a fool leaving children in a idling car. What are you thinking?

Thank you for the concern and i understand what you’re thinking, but this is for a few minutes in a very small town in Hawaii where we live. Everyone looks out for one another here and everyone knows each other and their kids. Which is the reason we chose to not move to the mainland. I would never leave the kids in the car, not even at a gas station, not even for a minute.

Understood, even though you did say you have left them in a idling car, and that is not good- for any reason- take care of those little ones, they are your greatest gift
