Great Titan Story

cmclovis · 07-09-2005, 08:33 AM

Took my Titan on a business trip this week of over 500 miles and here are the good parts:

1. Got 20 MPG. 344 miles, 17.065 gallons of gas. Mostly interstate through the mountains running 70 to 80 mph the whole time. This is the second time, I have gotten the kind of mileage.

2. Had new brake parts installed and what an improvement. Stops like it should now. Great feel, etc. AND.... NO brake dust on the wheels that used to make the truck look so dirty. I don't know what the pads are made of but thanks, Nissan.

3. Had Sirius factory tuner installed prior to trip with SIGMA antenna. I didn't know what I was missing. Probably cut out for 15 seconds the entire trip going a two-lane mountain road. Perfect.

This is a great truck. Much better with the upgrades.

DAMN your lucky. The best I have seen yet is mid 15's (mpg) in my titan!

I got the brake fix a while ago, and I though the brake dust was less, but I just washed the truck and in only a week I had a heck of a bunch of brake dust on the front wheels...

You get to write off the trip on your taxes!

I'm calling B.S, on 20 mpg!....Sorry, I couldn't help myself

I think it's doable. I've gotten 19.8 mpg doing 80 mph/2000 rpm (Non-BT gears).
This was while doing back to back mileages tests bef/aft installing the Airaid TBS. The before mileage was 17.0 flat. City mileage still pretty much stinks at around 12.5-13.5, though.
