Hey I just wanted to know about the Gas Mileage on our cars and if there is anyway to get better Gas Mileage on my 89 Max SE. I have a K&N Filter but it still seems like everytime I turn around I am going to the Gas station. Any info. guys??

 

full tuneup if you haven't had one

spark plugs, PCV valve, distributor cap and rotor, fuel filter

I get crappy gas mileage unless I drive like a grandma

 

I get better gas milage when i'm kinda on mine alittle, about 50 miles more to the tank than grandma style...very odd but works for me.

 

The answer is "search".

 

The answer is not search, the answer is ask other people damnit!! How many miles do you get on a whole tank? I'm lucky to get 300!!

 

My answer is located in another thread that shares the same topic as this one - if you really wanted to know, you could find out the gas mileage of 50+ different maxima owners if you weren't so lazy (IE - do an ****ing search).

 

That's so funny that you say that!! NOT!!!

 

I live in south Georgia. This past weekend I had to go to ATL for a conference. Anyway, I got 521 miles on a single tank of gas. Granted, this was all Interstate driving at around 80 mph the whole way. Outside of that, my normal average is about 380 miles to the tank.

C.D.

 

So which out of those would be the smaller and easier things I could and should take care of first? I'm not very good with all that technical junk with cars so forgive me

 

im lucky to get 230...

 

i get between 220 and 250 depending on how much highway driving i do

 

I generally get between 230 and 280 per tank. If I'm lucky every now and then, I'll hit 300!!

 

I get about 20-22 mpg in my 91 SE 5-Sp @ this time of year.

 

320 + mixed driving. once i got 260 amazine

 

i get about 325 per tank on my 93'. I used to get about 350 before advanced timing and now i use 93 octane also.

 

Don't forget the O2 sensor, clogged injectors, clogged cat, and quite a few other things. I usually get 200-250mpg, though I do drive "spirited" most of the time.
