Gas Mileage Consumption Thread

Don't use injector cleaners on Nissan injectors, they don't like it at all.

I use BG Injector cleaner with no issues at all. In fact, I will be doing the Injector Service/Air Intake Service/Carbon Service on the VE in the next week or so to really get the motor running better and then a spark plug and possible wire replacement. Cap/Rotor are fine.

And fwi: nissan/infiniti techs use the BG stuff on both Nissan and Infiniti Motors. Grant it, I am not sure what other products are out there as I have only used one brand my whole life.

I'm averaging 25mpg 75% city. Better than I expected.
JDM Highport, headers, 2.5" Exhaust are my main mods that would affect mileage.
91 G20, B14 5spd.

Oh, and my air cleaner is dirty as hell right now, so I'm sure it will go up with a cleanin.

I have no idea what you all are doing to get these incredibly low numbers. Last summer in my girlfriends 95 p10 (5spd, 218,xxx) we averaged 37mpg on our 1500 mile road trip. In my 93.5 p10 (5spd, 115,xxx) I average 31mpg driving 30/70 city/highway and 36mpg highway with a bad alignment, exhaust leak and at the time needed cap/rotor replaced.

AT, 80 MPH, 4 guys in the car, AC on most of the time. I also spent some time in Chicago rush hour traffic, so that reduced my MPG some too, but it was too much effort to calculate out.

i just started keeping track the last 2k miles.... 27mpg 90% highway and the only mod is a cai and timing set to 17* a/c on and 75-80 mph on highway and kind of a heavy foot

Got a 29mpg highway on a VE-T with lots of boosting and some traffic.

Depends on if you had ethanol in your gas or not. Also depends on driving style. My general highway driving includes cruise control being on 90% of the time. Also depends on the terrain you have to drive through, on East Coast we have plenty of mountains/hills.
