2005 Nissan Altima SE Gas Mileage (Slowest. Altima. Ever.) - EcoModder.com

His best results are getting into hybrid territory. I checked; his is also a V6. His techniques and the two modest modifications have been thoroughly tested by many others in these pages.
Elhigh, The comparison you chose is not close. He has manual trans. vs. auto. Dangerous high tire pressure, has engine modifications, drives slow etc. I don't do anything but turn the key drive.after all that he has readings in the high thirties. I drive up 90 mph ( sometimes). I use cruise on flats and foot pedal on up and down highways. Cruise does not work efficiently on hills.
If you read the whole thread I have stated that I think the magnets help the fuel burn more efficiently and therefore the ecu can run at a more efficient setting i don't think the fuel is by itself increasing the mileage.
