Greetings
Hello everyone!
I'm glad I found this forum, I hope I'll find a lot of tips to enhance my old Altima 1993 with very bad gaz mileage. I'm from Québec, Canada, see you on the forum! (damn this car is not fuel efficient) |
Welcome to the site.
What kind of mileage are you getting with the altima? Its rated at 21/27 for the manual and 18/26 for the automatic. Not so great of numbers to start with, but they can easily be improved upon. |

I am currently achieving 300 km (200 miles) per full tank, which is very bad. According to Google, my tank can hold 15.9 gallons.. Best case scenario that is 12.58 MPG :cool: for 70% highway. With the gaz prices it costs me like $60 CAD to refill my tank so... I am doing a good tune-up this week, hopefully that'll help because I never did it in two years. I read the 100 useful tips of this website, and now I'm looking for mods that'll help my car surviving these gaz prices. :thumbup: Michael Edit : I have automatic tranny |
...fastest way to improve fuel economy----
...properly inflate tires and keep a steady right foot. ...and have fun with it! |

Just make sure to EOC while in the air and you'll be fine. ;)
|
Check the plugs for wear and the air filter element for debris and dirt.

... and fuel filter. Take it from an ex dragracer, even though it is fun to go fast, saving money at the pumps is(almost) just as good:thumbup:... and better aerodynamics get you better hang time!!!:eek:

I have compiled a few scenarios so far, like 100% highway at X km/h, but I don't drive that often long distances. |
