My 98 4 cyl Frontier currently gets 28 mpg (145,000 miles on it)
My 2004 4 cyl Frontier only gets 13-16 mpg (45,000 miles on it)
WHAT Happened there?
I bought the '04 used in 06 with 35,000 miles on it...
has 45k now.
I ensure the tires are inflated,
New dist cap and rotor- didn't like the looks of the dist/rotor when I opened it up.
new air filter (was fairly clean anyway)
Fuel injector clean- no significant increases with any of the above. Engine appears to idle smoothly
Any other suggestions?
This truck is a bit more noticeably sluggish from a standstill and accelerating than the 98.
I am thinking checking plugs again and wires
Local Nissan Dealer had no suggestions for me..
Certainly I can't blame it all on wider tires on the 04!
Hell with 13-16 mpg I could be driving a 6 cylinder SUV!!
This was a disappointing surprise
Thanks
