43 MPG; 420 miles on one tank? And I still had more gas?

420 miles, 9.7 gallons showing on the pump = 43 MPG

I do admit I was driving like a granny, 90% highway, 65-80 MPH, windows up, not much usage of the A/C.

But regardless, that has to be a record for best MPG in a Sentra

I got 45 mpg ( maybe 40 at the least) on a road trip a few months back going 65 to 90 mph the whole way.

I used to get around 40 back when I bought my car. (June 2003). Now with my CAI and custom mandrel bent 2.25 catback exhaust ran to a Magnaflow muffler, i'm getting around 34-36 at the most . I know my exhaust pipe should only be 2 inch instead of 2.25.... is this really hurting my mileage that much? I only have 63k on the motor......

My best was 43mpg. Averaged 40 give or take a mpg even when I had the cams and header/exhaust. Hybrid what?

My best was 34 mpg from my house to Boreal Ski Resort on one tank, 330 miles. I was driving 85 the whole way there. I thought my car wasn't going to make it up the mountains, but it did. I never take long trips in my car so I think it was pretty good.

I made a trip to Ohio 2 weeks ago for fireworks and averaged about 37 mpg. Considering all my mods, miles, and auto tranny I was pretty satisfied. Not to mention averaging about 100 for about 10-15 miles after some asshole in a hyundai tailed me and even attempted to pass me on the shoulder. But thats ok, after a a couple minutes he didn't even get to see the taillights. lol

best i ever did was ~ 40-45mpg (not exact). boston to pawtucket on 95 (~60 miles) ...driving around down there (15-20 miles) ... and back (another 60 miles)
so about 140 miles, went from just over full when i left, to just under 3/4 when i got home. 12gallon tank, ~ 3 gallons, 140 miles, roughly 45mpg. insane then again half of it was in the middle of the night, nice cold air, about 100 mph, lol. (pawtucket to boston took me ~35 minutes)

then again, i have a QG18 :/ odd forum to post in, but we dont have this thread in the QG18 forum... hmm...maybe i'll start one

i made it from LA to San Francisco and still had some gas left. the trip had to be around 400 miles. but i know i was closer to 12 gallons when filling up.

i was driving on I-5 and anyone who knows that road should know that i was not driving slow... i love my GA16

Yeah, it will be dissapointing when I buy a new car someday...I've really been spoiled by my Sentra's fuel efficiency. It doesn't really seem to be dropping as the car gets older, either - I can still get as high as 40 mpg averaging around 85 mph with the A/C on long highway trips. Even with fairly quick driving around town it still gets 30 mpg or higher, and that's with 135K on the clock. My only modifications are a 2" cat-back exhaust job and a K&N box air filter (if you really consider that a mod...) and not suprisingly, it has been more efficient since I reworked the exhaust. All my friends complain about gas prices...and I just sit there with a large grin on my face.

Damn...the best I have gotten is 32 mpg. I would Rather have the SR20 and worse fuel economy, so i am not complaining.
