milegae on 2003 altima 2.5 s by skinsfan3

My altima has only 60k miles on it. Ever since day one, I get around 20mpg. The only way I can do better is on highways, when I may be driving around 70mph. Then I get around 30mph. I baby my cars, always change oil & filter at around 3,000, even though the manual says 6,000. Over the years I have many cars go for well beyond the "normal" life expectancy. Recently I changed the air filter. It was faitly dirt free. Oh, my low mileage is because locally I do a lot of stop and go driving. I guess the posted fuel on the sticker was wishful thinking.
 
I think the plugs might be the cultprit on mileage. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've got the same car as you with 46k on it. My experience has always been the same as your: 20 local/30 highway. I'd like it to be higher but guess that it's just the way it is. It just doesn't seem that a Nissan will get as good mileage as the other Japanese big 2. It's probably a sacrifice in the name of a little more power. 175 horse is good for a 2.5. It drives pretty effortlessly at 80 on the highway.

Thanks. I would love to trade in the milage for a better turn radius.

I had someone look at the distributor on my car and they put the plugs back on wrong. Does anyone know the order that they are suppose to be in or where I can find out? Any help is appreciated.
 
Thanks, Erica

New Wheels? by rugmankc

Have a 94 GXE that my son now drives and I'm tired of the cheap hub caps. Anyone put inexpensive aluminum wheels on and how do they look and hold up. Color of car is Champaign. Looked at some Sport Editions on TireRack, but not sure what finish will look best on my car.
 
Thanks

Sorry color is Beige not Champaign. Champaign is on my Van. I want the Sport Edition CD, bright satin w/machine lip wheels. Thinking about having TireRack ship them with a set of Michelin Pilots already on the rims and tuned.
 
Any thoughts and anyone with these wheels?
