It recently passed smog for Calif DMV registration. Suggestions for improving this dismal perormance? Thanks, C Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 24, 2010, 5:18 AM Post #2 of 3 (2358 views) Re: 1997 Nissan Altima only gets 20 mpg highway Sign In I don't know where you get your numbers from. When the car was new, it was only rated at 18 city and 26 hwy and now it's 13 years old. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

You can always maximize with the common things like proper tire pressure and the way you drive. Keep it in good tune with high quality air filters especially. In more places now they are using blends with ethanol that just about reduces gas mileage by 10% as clearly tracked by me in my own. Too bad - it took two gallons of fossil fuel to make a gallon of ethanol but you can't argue with stupid people as they always win from experience   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
