Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / February 2005Bad gas mileage getting worse!
2004 Nissan Quest, advertised at 19city/26hwy. Now I know this is under ideal conditions, but I think actual mileage should at least be close to this. I was getting ~16mpg a month ago when I complained to the dealer, and he said it's because of the cold weather.. and relatively, it's not that cold here in Portland, OR (30's-40's). It has now plummeted to 14.5mpg. Is there ANYTHING they can do to improve this, or at least check out?? -SV >2004 Nissan Quest, advertised at 19city/26hwy.

The first 1-2 miles of each trip (when the engine is cold) in cold weather can be very hard on gas mileage. Check the air filter and put the air back in the tires.And use a tire gauge,youll be surprized.
