Azn,
Just out of curiosity, how many miles to the gallon do you get on your car??
Is this on a stock ECU or reprogrammed ECU? Any other mods to your car??
Reason I am asking is because according to Nissan literature I've found on the net, the stock 95 S14 is supposed to get 28 hwy/22 city on a manual transmission & 26/21 on a auto transmission. The 91 S13 is supposed to get the same as a S14 - 28 hwy/22 city.
I've been tracking my gas mileage since June of 2003 and I've been averaging 20.89 miles to the gallon plus/minus 1.72 mpg. This is a combination of street and freeway driving. I check my timing & idle practically every month & try to make sure the engine is kept in top shape at all times. Tires are inflated to 35 lbs & there is no drag in the wheel bearings / brake pads. I'm running on a stock ECU with Injen intake with CAE & an aftermarket Fujitsubu exhaust. I've also got NGK plugs & wires. Engine is lovingly maintained & serviced practically every month. O2 Sensor is operating within specs as I check it regularly with an aftermarket OBDII scanner that reads info "realtime" off the ECU.
Other than changing my driving style, (cutting back on the jack rabbit starts at the streetlights & stop speeding on the freeway), I can't think of any other way to improve my gas mileage....Driving like an old lady is NOT an option!!...My S14 is just too fun to drive....
What else can you suggest??
