yeah the FAQ page isn't working and also, I get no threads in the "list subscribed thread" things for "user cp". whats goin on with that? is it just me, did I forget to do something?
Just brought a 2004 Titan, 4x4, tow package, off road crew cab. I am concerned with my gas mileage.
Currently have 1400 miles on truck, travel 50 miles a day and 80% highway. Always keep the RPMs under 2000 rpm. On highway 1,750 rpm at 65 miles per hour. Tire air pressure 36 psi. Running on 87 octane gas. I have been driving this truck as easy as possible to see what type of gas mileage I am getting. When I fill up the tank I divide the gas into the miles driven so I know it is exact. I am averaging 11.1 mpg. Don't get me wrong I know this is a truck, however, I should be getting at least 13 or
14 mpg and when the engine breaks in I should be getting 16 plus. The truck goes in the shop tomorrow, my question is what about the dealer reflashing the computer? Any other things that they should check? I have read about the other mileages on other Titans on this forum and I know somehing is not right. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated. This forum is the best!! Thanks. BOBBYO

BobbyO,
I thought for sure I would be stuck with 10-12 MPG, but this is what we used to call a 'tight motor'. It will begin to free up once you hit about 6,000 miles, and once you get to about 15,000 you'll see your best mileage. At least that's the way mine was.
The GOOD news is, at least in the old days, you could tell you were going to have an engine with a long life if it was tight like this in the beginning. It should be running just as good when the odometer rolls over, and you'll have that "100,000 mile Datsun Smile"...
Now I'm dating myself...
