NOT AT ALL; I WOULD PROBABLY CHANGE MY DRIVING HABITS

 

Nope. I'd drive less and catch the bus more.

 

No they have a different octane rating system. Id expect you to know that...

But we get the same grade if not better then what europe/aus gets. IE 87 about equals their cheapest gas there if not has a point or two on top of that.

Nope. I traded in a 3/4 ton diesel truck to get this. I'm happier than a pig in s**t to get 22 mpg!!

 

Eventually I'll get rid of the Maxima but right now trading in the Maxima for a different car to offset gas prices does not make sense, people are leasing hybrids cause they get excellent gas mileage but figure in the car payment

 

ill keep my max no matter what. if prices reach $5/gallon then i will get a real honda, CBR600RR..

 

HELL NO! Luv my Max....not like its a Hummer...Gezzzz

 

That's what I'm doing since I do a LOT of highway driving, and gas prices have shot up in New York (I live in Jersey but go upstate NY religiously). I only get about 29 mpg on the freeway, but I want something with 35+

 

Whats your average speed, I find that even driving hard I average mid 20's on the highway and I really enjoy my Maxima, I've driven other cars that get 30plus on the highway but they don't deliver the power and comfort I want.

I guess I should say my average speed, on the NYSThurway I do 65-90mph, I know 90 is not fuel efficient

 

You know my motto?

You've got to pay to play

I knew exactly what I was getting into when I bought my 4th max, and yes, even a couple of years ago the thought crossed my mind.

But I will never give up:

1. The styling
2. The class
3. The comments about "you're car is sweet" (especially from chicks) and "you're car looks brand-new!"
4. The passing power at 75mph on the highway
5. The torque
6. The power in general that comes from the VQ35

just to gain:

1. 5-10 mpg at the most
2. A little ****box to sully up the sight of your driveway or garage

Because you will:

1. Get laughed at (I'm 22)
2. Get passed constantly by truckers
3. And ricers (even worse)
4. Have to borrow friends cars to pick up chicks / go out
*I love driving to the nightlife in my Max, but I wont drive to it in a civic


At 26mpg (average of my city/highway, I do 80% of my driving on the highway) @ 3.67/ gal of 93, that cost me a little over .14 cents per mile to drive.

At 36mpg @ 3.67, ok even say 3.56 for 85 (but don't hybrids need premium?)
thats just about .10 cents for a mile driven. Really, would you give up all of the give up the listed above, just to gain the meager benefit that have some serious strings attached, just to save that .05 cents a mile?

Here's a dollar, save the style!!!!

 

I would get a bike

 

Yea pretty much. Hard to beat the max as far as room/comfort and still retaining decent mpg. Sides my 90 SE was $300 + a cheap 5 speed swap. And if I want better city mpg I'll just drive my 240....

~Alex

 

if i say yes then it will give me starting problems or something tomorrow.............. so....noooo..... lol

 

I've put too much time, blood, sweat, and $$ into the Max to get rid of it. The Max shall remain in my stable forever.

 

Already did. Titan sits in the driveway now.

 

The next car I buy will have V-8 and RWD. I am a true driving enthusiast and will not be scared off by bullsh!t gas prices. (Although I might drive less.)

 

id go hybrid, although a friend of mine did pay $6/gallon for 100 octane once.

 

I just got back into a maxima...I ain't giving it up. You kidding me?

S

 

when you do, let me know

 

but it's a 4th gen

 

never !

 

Yes. Looking at a 350Z black on black leather.

But thats atleast a year away. Until then, mod on!

 

Naw, I'll upgrade to the 3.5 before. Plus it ain't like the gas price$ are going any where.

 

I m thinking of setting a still up in the garage and run 50/50

 

You can buy a prius, add a 2nd battery...like the one thats already in there, and it gets 100 mpg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saw it at a car show....was pretty shocked..

 

I would keep it and get a beater civic.

 

of course not..just saw the new max at the car show...so if the 96 max goes...09 max will be waiting.

 

Funny thing is that the government knows this and will cont. to raise prices because they knwo we wont change.. we just will adapt and adjust accordingly.


but no. no point in trading it in and gettin rid of it. I just know how much it cost me to get where im going and how much gas it uses. honestly, your foot is the bigger culprit than the prices. and makin unessary trips that you dont need to make hurts ya pockets as well. so no, im not gettin rid of the max. ill just drive slow homie. LOL

 

^^ i did have that set up with my GF driving the 93 Civic. Bad thing is tho she crashed it and totaled it. So we are stuck with one car now. :/

 

Think of the money you are saving by having one car. One insurance bill. One car to maintain. One fuel bill.

 

i get 290-300 per tank...i think it sucks.. my max loves to drink gas. but i would never get rid of it for that reason.

 

A 20 gallon gas tank is one of the reason I love my 04 SE AT. It may take more to fill up, but I get about 400 miles out of about 17 gallons.

 

Never, I want to be buried in my maxima.

 

i think my car gives decent gas mileage. i get 30+ on hwy and 26-28 in city. i think its decent mileage for 6 cyl car.

 

i would keep mine i love my max

 

Well seeing i pay 5.14 for gas now it wont change any thing for me so hell to the no.

 

5.14, I've seen diesel in NY for 4.50, regular was about 3.40, premium was like 3.60, no different then a year ago, but the diesel surprised me

 

O yea i run race fuel . Our regular is 3.50 or so.

 

Thinking about it now, but it's hard to find anything with as nice of an interior. 2003 G35's are starting to get cheap.

 

I daily drive an 07 Ram, Quad Cab 4 wheel drive with a Hemi. The maxima gets almost twice the gas mileage. So no, I wont be getting rid of the maxima for a little 4 cylinder. However, I will be getting rid of the maxima once I push the piece of crap off a cliff.
