No real known mechanical problem for this car, but it is a bit thirstier on fuel than the current 3.5 litre model and also the 3 litre model before 2001. >> am thinking of buying 1 of these any know problems and anybody know what >> they like on fuel and etc??? > > No real known mechanical problem for this car, but it is a bit thirstier > on fuel than the current 3.5 litre model and also the 3 litre model before > 2001.

Nissan maxima is well known for its responsive and yet very efficient V6 engine. But the new 3.5 litre V6 is more fuel efficient than 2001-2003 3 litre V6 in most cases the newer car can easily use 1-1.5 litre less per 100 km in mix cycle driving. Both cars run on premium unleaded. have been told by nissan can run on normal ulp just don't have as much go as with premium fuel anybody got 1 and running it on normal ulp?? > have been told by nissan can run on normal ulp just don't have as much go > as with premium fuel anybody got 1 and running it on normal ulp?? Yes, you can run normal ULP but the power output and fuel efficiency will suffer. You will probably find the fuel economy goes up to 13 to 14 litres per 100 kilometer running ULP as oppose to 12-13 using PULP. From 2000 all Nissan Maximas are designed to run best with premium unleaded which is one reason I still very much like the old 1999 Maxima I used to own because it is more powerful than today's souped up 4 cylinder cars like Honda Euro or Mazda 6 but run on ULP and has similar fuel economy to today's 4 cylinder cars. >> have been told by nissan can run on normal ulp just don't have as much go >> as with premium fuel anybody got 1 and running it on normal ulp??

So fuel costs per kilometre will be no different if you use 98ron or 92. No?  SignatureBen Lyric of the week: "So all you fly mothers, get on out there and dance. Dance I said!" |
