Getting better gas mileage?

Did you do a full tuneup?
Since it's a 95, your car will have carbon and stuff inside your car and you won't get that much good mileage. I get 15-18 MPG since I do many short trips (driving to school with a cold engine) in the city and I'll probably get like 20-22 MPG if I do all highway driving.
People got better mileage when they did a full tuneup, changed the front O2 sensors, and when they got a new aftermarket y-pipe (pre-cats are gone). Nissan says to keep the tire pressure at 29, but if you raise it to like 32-35, you'll get slightly better mileage.
I'll replace the O2 sensors when I get a new y-pipe next year. With the new y-pipe, I'll get in the low to mid 20s MPG doing short trips in the city. I just had my tranny rebuilt and they put in regular ATF, but next year I'll replace it with syn ATF.
Next year (when I have money) I'll run some BG44k fuel system cleaner and I'll buy that Auto-Rx cleaning stuff. I'll probably take out my intake manifold and clean it someday when I have time.
