You'll win easy. I had a 91 SER that easily got 34-36mpg definitely not trying. I recommend a new O2 sensor if its over 100k. And clean the MAF. These are my nissan tricks. The donuts will help if you get the proper height, if there shorter it might not work. Remember that most donuts are rated for under 1000 miles some only 200. The tread compounds are very cheap and not all that safe to drive on.

Good luck.
