Here is a free easy way to get more miles per fill up. Don't drive over 60mph!. I garantee it will work.

I actually did something similar to that. I didn't let the engine go above 2500 rpm ever. I got around 28 mpg.

15 mpg indicates all stop-go driving or something seriously wrong with your car. Hopefully it's the former.

Cheap solution? I'll say this til the sun goes down and from my own experience with the 98SE 5-spd. BRAND NEW NISSAN AIR FILTER!!!

It will cost you about 2.5 times the useless injector cleaner, but you will get results. I was back down to 25 hwy, cleaned my stupid K&N once again, and got 27.5 last weekend to the shore. BTW don't bother with K&N, but those of us who got duped have to live with our $62 investment. That's 7 factory filters....dang.

Spend the extra money and get a BG fuel system flush. You won't believe the difference it'll make. Usually dealerships have these flush machines, but only take it to a place with BG. If you want to go the cheap route go to any local dealership, Dodge, Ford, whatever's closest and get a can of BG44K. It'll cost about $20-25 for a 12oz can.

Not in my Max... She likes 75-80mph for the best mpg.
Below 60 usually gets me crappy mpg #s!
