who needs a hybrid when a max can do this? Ok the 303 miles is on that tank of gas and it just went past the middle line. I always reset the trip odo when filling with gas. SO I just find that amazing for a 6cyl and almost 210k car. 95% highway 5% city.

p.s knock on wood three times, for luck

 

Not bad, you have an auto too (actually they get better highway mileage I think ). I don't see SE gauges, what's the deal?

 

no no mines can't. Not even close to that acutally with 1/2 the total miles

 

if that was a manual, it would be at around 3500rpm in 5th at that speed. Always wonder why they made 5th so short.

 

my max can do that, by the way im new here hello

 

Nice... Yeah, what's up with the non SE gauges? Anyways, I'm proud of my max hitting 400 miles on my last couple tanks. But then it took 16.xxx gallons to fill her back up.

 

dont even act like that 3rd quarter (between the middle mark and the one below it) doesnt drop fast as F*CK. haha. then the last quarter lasts for a good while.

 

That must be all highway miles & no city driving.
Been there - done that.

 

Impressive, lets see if this changes: See how many miles you have driven when on E.

 

i drove to north carolina and got almost 450 miles to the tank

 

Yeah when your car is consistantly driven on the highway for long stretches them your gas mileage tends to improve.

Hell I had a 1995 Explorer limited edition and I drove it all the way to Vegas. It was a gas mileage reader to tell you how long you have to go for the next fill up. Well during the trip I got 510 miles on a tank. Thats on a v6 engine from a ford

 

I always seem like I am getting good mileage on a trip. The gauge never really moves until the car is shut off and restarted. Then it starts to drop like crazy. Never seems to consistently go down.

 

both of my 98's get 380 to a tank without breaking a sweat.

 

ever drive in NYC???? Chinatown?? Queens, brooklyn?? Take your car here...drive around for a week..you might then post up on the org saying that your car is eating gas like crazy and need ways to improve your mileage even though there's nothing wrong..

 

Right there with you. I'm all city in Atlanta and I can barely squeeze 280 out of mine.

 

So we dont have to downshift to accelerate...

 

3500 RPM at 70MPH??

Maybe I haven't quite been paying attention as I thought I was. But at 70 for me I'm pretty sure its at 3K or just a tad below. At 80 its about 3300-3500. But like I said maybe I'm not paying close enough attention.

 

I am at about 3000RPM also up until about 72 MPH

 

I'm right there with you...2900-3000 at 70. I was going 90 today and i was at 3800 in 5th gear. Dont know what is up with your tranny if its at 3500 in 5th

 

I live in Atlanta too and I do 95%+ city driving.
I get 380miles for 16 gallon of gas.
Mine is 5-speed though...

 

Not another one of these threads...

I got 500+ miles to a tank once about 3/4 highway 1/4 city.

 

I'm president of the 200mi/tank (and below) club. lol

 

Can I join the club!

 

I got two maximas, one 96 white gle auto, and SOLD one black SE manual. My manual sucked gas even on the highway compared to my white one.

 

thats funny you say that since im from boston, and yes I have driven to Brooklyn, NY from MN in 24 hours with a 96 F150 with a 5.8l and a trailer, I almost went insane in your stupid tunnels and tolls. The tunnel was as wide as my tailer, and the steering is lose on my ford, and the tunnel curves everywhere. have fun living there

p.s and i got 16mpg with the ford with 93 octane on the highway, in your city i must have gotten .2mpg.

 

been to your city with the ford too. I like your 7 wide lane highways, nothing compared to NYC.

 

Sure haha you're in

 

I have an auto and i assumed highway rpms on a 5spd would be lower than the 4spd auto, but apparently the auto's highway rpms are a little lower? i should have checked out the gear ratios i guess.

 

LOL, don't be surprised if law enforcement comes after u for admitting to breaking the speed limit. Was it Mitsu or Subaru that lurked forums and auto-x websites to void warranties for racing? And it looks like cruise control is on, so u had the intention of going over 65. Well, I could be wrong and maybe you're in one of the cool locations with 75mph or unlimited speed limits. Anyways, post another pic, but get the speedo below 65, just in case.
Jae

 

I REALLY don't think he needs to worry about that... there are many speedo pics of over 100, as long as he's on a closed circuit course it's all good.

 

the speed limit in MN is 70

 

lol alpine......i'm glad you're getting more mileage than i do. I usually hit aroudn the 350-380 per tank mark.....the tunnels n tolls are the best part!!!! i'm flying by the holland with an ez-pass while your stuck for an hour just trying to pay the toll...its kinda funny..heh....

 

Auto maxes definately give better mileage than 5sp's on highway trips. My Max did 400ish miles on a tank with 90%+ highway

 

its not really the miles per gallon its getting, its the fact that the car has 200k+ miles on it and its getting that MPG. I mean I can understand a car with less than 100k miles getting good gas millage. but 200k on original engine, and tranny, thats amazing, at least I think it is.

p.s if i ever have to go to NYC with a truck with bad steering again I will

 

LOLz @ analog odometer.

 

Wait I have one: Can your car do THIS?


Keep TWO trip odometers!1111














































































I'm sorry it looks like the answer is no.

 

Hey, screw you buddy.

 

Yeah, because I posted a thread about my amazing Maxima that achieves superhero-like feats.













OP: Oddly enough my '98 that is highly maintained (135K) can only best about 420-450 with mixed driving while a friend I have with a BEATER '96 (160K) makes over 500 all the time. The VQ is a wonder.

 

I don't get it.

 

It was in response to screw you but it's a moot point and I'm only jealous of your TL projectors. Did you get two more TT wheels?
