80+ mph in 5th plus a couple 3rd gear runs (MEVI)
I was going 100+ almost the entire state of Virginia. 95 is a nicely maintained highway and I didn't see any police at all past North Carolina.

Atlanta to Washington DC in less than 9 hours with 2 stops.
This damn MEVI puts me in the triple digits VERY quickly from 70 mph....

There was a time when I thought I would never see over 20 mpg even on the highway, but I replaced my fuel filter and now I'm seeing OVER 30.

 

Damn Bruce.....good investment eh? wtf are you doing in DC?

 

Are you still in town?

 

damn i wish i could get that. right now i barely get 28 mpg doing fully highway @ 70 mph. cruize controlled

 

I got about 23mpg or so driving from NYC to Tampa back in april... and I was ecstatic to have it that well.

I drive an auto though, so I'd never expect to match your 30something... pretty impressive.

 

Bijan- I was in DC for my Grandmother's funeral. I am VERY happy with my mileage lately.

I was only in the DC area for one day. That night we hit the town but my cousin couldn't find us parking so by the time we got to the door of the club it was like 1:50 AM and they were about to close....it was raining too!

 

I think you might have passed me! I was on 95 north yesterday and a green max blew by me going 90+ I have cruise set on 80 and it looked like i wasnt even moving. I was going to try and catch you but i dont think my mom would have like that. I was in a black max. If it was you, your max looks sweet. I love the red/clear tails.

 

nope wasn't me, I have been home since last sunday.

 

wow, changing your fuel filter improved that much? nice.

 

Musta been on there since the car was bought...from the dealer....

haha, I wouldn't doubt it considering I've only had this Max for a little over a year now.
I just had a VI installed (immediately started getting over 20 mpg), Cleaned TB, changed fuel filter and oil. I would say that all of these things helped achieve better gas mileage.

Im surprised you saw the mileage go up. ****, if i had the MEVI (never gonna happen) i would probably get under 20mpg, since i would loving taking that beast all the way to 7200rpm /end dream...


Fuel filter, cleaned TB and also spark plugs all really help gas mileage. You can definately see 5-7mpg easily if they've never been changed.

what is MEVI

 

I will say this before someone flames you. If you have a question, please, please, please do yourself a favor and READ THE FAQ's





-eric

 

i get just under 31 mpg during my weekly tank...driving 120 miles round trip for work at about 70mph does that though

 

So, what is it?

 

Lurchdawg, good job on the mileage. Who did you run on the freeway?

 

My
Expensive
Variable
Intake

 

or, the proper definition...

Middle Eastern Variable Intake


And please dont go asking more in depth questions w/out readin the FAQs...

 

JAY!!! I was so glad when Marvin told me you were going to Arizona instead of Iraq. I wanted to stop by tonight to say what's up but too much studying for me.
There was this one White AUTO maxima with Maxima.org stickers on it that kept trying to run me, he had a rainbow flag (gay flag) on his antenna and really loud Bass. I just laughed and flew by him at 150 mph....
