i have a 96 gxe and it started wasting too much gas these days and i change the spark plugs and change the oil 2 weeks ago also change air filter, is there something else that im missing that will improve my gas millage?

 

what kind of mileage are you getting?

i have a 152000 miles on it and im getting 17 mpg i use to get like 22 mpg

 

I have a 98 Maxima and I used to get 16-17 mpg. I switched over to the 95 ecu and got a Walbro fuel pump and now been consistently getting 19-21 mpg. Driving style has stayed the same.

 

Any CELs? Changed Knock sensor? Fuel filter?

 

Clean the MAF and TB while you're at it... and @ your mileage I hope you're puttin in the good stuff and not 87.

 

Are your tires inflated properly? Are you lugging around a bunch of unnecessary stuff in your car? So the spark plugs didn't change anything? Which ones did you put in? I'm going to need to replace mine soon.

 

i get around 24mpgs and i have a pretty heavy foot on the gas.
with good gas, 5 spd, new air filter and oil, it should be at least 22ish

 

i would like to clean the MAF and the TB but i dont know where they are located if someone has some pictures or a link to see them , also i havent change the knock sensor and the fuel filter .

 

Not sure if you have done this yet, but I switched over to Synthetic and my mileage improved, I am going with 22 MPG with a dead knock sensor, with same fuel filter, air filter, ect.

But just like what the other members said above if you are pushing 17 you might need to check the:

-Knock sensor
-Air pressure in tires
-Extra weight in trunk
-Throttle body
-Air filter
-Fuel filter
-Oil (Maybe?)
-Spark plugs (Maybe?)

Haha some of those things seem to contradict each other, like wouldn't a clogged air filter mean less air which equals less gas consumption???? Maybe I am over thinking it

 

how much milage when you switched to synthetic ? many don't like to switch if you car has high milage..

 

Use high octane fuel, check tire pressure, change oil, and keep your foot off the gas. The Maxima is not a Prius, it was never designed to be a gas saver.
