That is what I call a DAMN good engine!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I think we have a nomimee for longest sig folks!! BTW, thanks for the info, but this was posted many times before.

 

We?

 

Um, yeah.... "we"? Nissan!

We're just along for the ride.

But hell yes, "DAMNED GOOD ENGINE!"

I was so stoked to get 33mpg on the highway cruising at a steady 70mph with headlights, wipers, radar, and stereo all drawing power at once. Talk about outstanding! Bet you all of the other contenders couldn't match that kind of highway efficiency.

I've seen longer sigs than the one above!

 

Yes, I get astounding MPG on the highway. I travel from Chapel Hill, NC to Dayton, OH every now and then. It's ~500 miles from driveway to driveway (498.5 to be exact). I make it in one tank of gas. I fill up about 15.5 gallons each time. That makes about 32 MPG.

And I have to cross the Appalachians to get there.

 

ya our engines rule VQ power all the way

 

 

Nissan's still going strong! Wait till the 2002 model comes out.
