I get much better mileage with my two 96 maximas than i did with my 2003.

I get 320-380 miles per tank with the 96. I got about 260-310 with the 2003.

I run 90 octane with the 10% ethanol added at the pump.

It's a price you have to pay for having a car that's fun to drive. I keep my RPMs low unless I'm trying to have fun, go fast, whatever. Unless you get a hybrid, a torque-y engine will be gas inefficient.

I have a 97 Maxima SE with 150,000. Great car but I agree with the brake rotors and oxygen sensor issues. Those damn sensors cost around $250-300 ea to replace.

BTW - Am I the only one who hates the change to the sunroof from horizontal to vertical?
