I dont know how I missed this. I have a special place in my heart for Maximas.I had a 97 man trans, and gained some mpg from lowering the car 1" all around. This lowers frontal area and reduces drag. After that I got my best hiway mpg of 31. I also had a Stillen body kit, and no spoiler. I also ran premium fuel when I put 87 in it I typically lost 2-3 mpg.
Found the curb weight on msn cars, 3218 and width 70.3 height 56.3 subtract 1.4" 54.9".
