Nissan VS FIT
I have a plan to get 41 MPG. I'm going to go head to head againts my managers 2007 Honda Fit. My 1996 Nissan Sentra 1.6 Ltr. Disconnect the A/C and make all four tires doughnuts. Currently he is only beeting me by about 1 mile per gallon Hwy. He gets 37. What do you think? :thumbup: I'll stay @ 55 so not to blow the tires. :turtle:

My '93 Sentra Xe got a best of 49.97mpg with a slight bleed of propane into the engine via propane injector. Most of the time the 1.6 would hit 37-39 all day long. My recently acquired 02 Sentra XE hits 41 almost every trip I make to work and back (30 miles) If you are running 55mph, it should be doable. Had you played with any mixtures of acetone in your tank? I say this because my 200mile acetone (2oz per 10 gal) test today bumped my mpg average up to 38 for a 200 mile trip 75-80mph.

I don't think the donuts will help that much, but you can try.

Good luck. |
Hi,
You both can do better -- either car should be able to get 40-45mpg without much effort. Go for aero mods if you do some highway driving, and just pump up your current tires to somewhere near or at the sidewall pressure. Drive like you don't have brakes (but of course, please use them if you need to). |
If you guys are calculating MPG off your odometers then just put the smallest diameter tires on that will keep you from scraping too much and you'll win hands down unless he figures out why.

Thanks for the tips guys,
new O2 sensor, clean the MAF, 2 oz Acetone. Aero mods are not for me. I'm too cheap-cars too old. How about wax? Do OEM hub caps help or not? |
Here's a thread on the tires.
