I saw a post a few weeks back asking what people were averaging for gas mileage, but could not find it again....

If I don't reset the MPG computer, I've been averaging 24.x MPG in mixed driving. This seemed like alot more than what others were posting.

Yesterday on a trip down rt93 from Manchester to Boston, I measured MPG at 3 different speeds using cruise control. I reset the computer for each test. Each test was for about 10 miles. I was very surprised at the high measurements.

- At 65 mph for 10 highway miles I averaged 37.1 MPG
- At 70 mph for 10 highway miles I averaged 32.4 MPG
- At 75 mph for 10 highway miles I averaged 28.4 MPG

I realize this was far from a scientific test, but I'm still very surprised at the high numbers. I was using 93 octane fuel, and my Auto 2005 has 4500 miles on it.

Whaddya think? Too small a sample? (miles) I've been going about 420 miles on a tank between fillups...

That milage sounds really high to me. I generally average 20mpg in mixed driving. Although I did have one highway trip aprox 100miles there and back where I averaged 31mpg with premium fuel. Maybe the Maxima's are capable of really decent gas mileage.

 

My SL auto gets about
24 on highway
20 mixed

 

it's not that far back:
