Can I try to shame your lead foot into submission, Shadetree? My SE-R is EPA rated within 1 mpg of your Maxima (19/26 city/hwy v. your 18/26). You've got 190 hp and 3000 lbs. I've got 170 hp and 2750 lbs. That gives you a 16.8 lb/hp ratio, and me a 16.2 lb/hp ratio, and about the same mash the go-pedal feeling. I get the same 0-60 7 second time as your car.
Now look at my mpg in my signature over the past 16,770 miles, and weep  .
