Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / July 2004Is Gas Mileage bad in these cars?
I was going to buy a 1993 with 120 K on it, loaded sunroof etc, but one of my mech. says they burn lots of gas like 19 per gallon. Thats 8k per liter With the price of gas going up all the time, and no work lately I wonder if this is a wise purchase. Appreciate feedback thanks kindly. PS: I'm in Canada, gas is more expensive than the U.S . From the Royal Bank Web Site http://www.royalbank.com/cgi-bin/carloan/gas.pl This is about what I get, Distance travelled: Km Amount of gas required: Litres Metric (Canada) 11.46 L/100KM Metric (Europe) 8.73 KM/L US Gallons 20.65 MPG Imperial Gallons 24.65 MPG I usually fill up when I am close to empty and reset the trip odemeter every fill-up. This is predominantly city driving in Ottawa. If I do highway, I use the cruise control as much as possible, and on the car and van this tends to maximise my fuel consumption by another 50 to 80 km or so. I keep the tire pressure at spec. with weekly checks and this also gives me good mileage. > I was going to buy a 1993 with 120 K on it, loaded sunroof etc, but one of > my mech. says they burn lots of gas like 19 per gallon.

The missing bits are, about 480KM and 55 litres. > From the Royal Bank Web Site > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > > > PS: I'm in Canada, gas is more expensive than the U.S . My '96 Maxima GXE averages 28 miles per gallon. It ranges from 24 to 32 MPG. I think that is very good mileage for the power and size of this car. I just wish it was designed for regular gas rather than premium. I ran mid-grade for a long time, but the check engine light came on and the mechanic suggested running premium. Since then the light has not come back on. Ed > I was going to buy a 1993 with 120 K on it, loaded sunroof etc, but one of > my mech. says they burn lots of gas like 19 per gallon.

If so, I don't think I will buy it. Thanks again > My '96 Maxima GXE averages 28 miles per gallon. It ranges from 24 to 32 > MPG. I think that is very good mileage for the power and size of this car.

Power output goes down and the tendency to knock goes up with regular gas. CD Hi, the 93 is a pretty good car to buy, can you tell me if it is a gxe or se? |
