well it is nissans fault... Audi can get 30mpg out of their 4.2L V8 by running super lean when cruising like 23:1... ya crazy... and use two differnet wideband AF sensors one for normal driving reads from like 9:1 to 18:1 then another one that reads from 16:1 to 25:1 for precision at that lean

This is true. Loose tolerances means more power and higher MPG at the cost of polluting the air with burned oil. hahahah
