Arrrghhh...WTF, I can't edit my post. Oh, well, I meant to say OEM wheels with OEM tire sizes.

03 MT 17 city (if I stay out of it stop light to stop light) and 30 hwy (again just normal driving) Ive waited until the DTE read ---- and then i filled up. just under 17 gallons. Didnt want to push it.

Gas mileage when down when i bought a pop charger. But thats just because i love the way it sounds.

Black Eddie: that sounds about on pace for a majority of highway driving. I can easily get over 400miles on a tank with mostly highway driving.

Thats because Nissan gives you an extra 4 gallons in case you feel like riding it till its truly empty

Actually, it's an avg. of 50/50 city/hwy. I'm kinda **** on keeping proper tire pressure and I don't dart around like a maniac. Also, my foot is pretty steady on the highway. My cousin was following me once and she thought I had cruise control.
