gas mileage fix?
I have read more than a few threads on Altima gas mileage, and several people are doing way better than I mileage-wise. Typically, someone will say in one of those threads something like "If you aren't getting X miles per gallon, you should take your car to the dealer - there's something wrong." But no one ever says what the dealer will in fact attempt to do. Is this suggestion just idle chatter (pun intended), or is there something we could actually expect the dealer to be able to do to improve mileage? Is there something in particular they should be looking for? I am a reformed fast-accelerator who has made an honest and significant effort to change driving habits in order to improve mpg. I am still getting 23/24 in mixed driving, while others report high 20's and low 30's. Mine is the 2.5SL. I want to know if taking the car to the dealer is even a realistic option. Can I really complain, given my reported mileage? I bought the car genuinely hoping to post significant improvements over my '98 Subaru Outback, but so far, the difference is only moderate.
