Well I bought my X 2 weeks ago thinking it would get a little better gas mileage than my 4.3L GMC Sonoma, but I just checked it tonight after filling up and I got 14 MPG!!! eek

Holy hell that sucks hardcore! I have been babying it all week, and hardly even used the AC. Jeez, guess that's the price I pay for having an SUV. frown

'03 w/ 3" SL.
Getting 16-17 MPG on average- city driving (16.74 last fill up to be exact).

Previous vehicle- '76 GMC got 9.

Gas saved yearly equals 2-3 monthly payments. smile

Well, I tried taking off the air foil and seeing if that's gonna help any. I am pretty impressed so far. On a half tank of gast it was showing 170 miles. I haven't seen that in years now.

Now, these are all rough estimates, though. I'll run the tank down, fill up and will have a more accurate number.

It's cool. Believe what you want (this is an opinions/discussions forum...). I know what my X gets on mileage and I'm completely satisfied.

Fair enough. Just doesn't make sense that one person gets 25% better mileage than everybody else. confused

Just curious, how are you calculating your mileage?

Edited to add:
Satisfied? I guess so, you'd see an epidemic of cartwheels and ninja flips on this board if people were getting the MPG you're claiming.

the past couple of weeks I have started calculating,

I have driven 407 miles on 25 gallons(two trips to the gas station.)

that is about about 16 mpg.

That is about a 1/3 of the time highway driving.

Something tells me you are doing your math wrong.

Look everyone. You cannot calculate your gass mileage based on you fill ups. Its based on the amount of gas you put in please. And do not estimate the mileage. Go by the trip meter. So if you drive somewhere then you fill up. You divide the number of gallons you put in thats on the reciept into the number of miles it says on the trip.

Easiest thing to do is always get a receipt, write the mileage on the back and put it in an envelope. After a few fill-ups take them out and do the math.

Either I drive much easier than several of you or I am just lucky. I've gotten 19.7mpg and 20.1mpg around town on my last two fill ups. I should say though that the 20.1 was after a gibson exhaust and K&N drop in filter while the 19.7 was completely stock. My last HWY trip in stock form was 22.7mpg and I did not exceed 65mph for the whole 220 mile trip.
On another note I just installed a condensator today so wait about a week or two and I will let yall know if it actually works for improving fuel mileage. When I installed I called condensator sales directly and spoke with the owner/operator who walked me through the installation. It was very simple and only took about 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Even if it does not work it does have a 90 day money back gaurentee so I figure nothing ventured nothing gained.

Just took a road trip from Atlanta to Nashville.

Good news: averaged 28.4 MPG on the way up there.

Bad news: Our X was parked in our garage. We took my wife's '94 Honda. frown

About 12 GPM wink (gallons per mile)

No, really, with the 35's and all the weight, probably around 12 MPG...

A better question to ask is how many have gotten rid of the X due to the mileage? Except for the folks new to the X we all know that it is not great so we drive it because we like it or we have to. Either way you fill it up...

19 plus mpg is definitley not impossible with a 2wd X, stock with only an exhaust and filter.

yeah it deff is not, i keep the rpms below 2500 and accelerate slowly and i barely get 16. If i could shift myself maybe i cold do a little better. But not 19.

Yanyfan100, I live in an area where the traffic is light and the speed limit going to work for me in 35mph. As for the rpm's I have an automatic and it usually does not exceed 2200 even when I am accelerating. Also I have always used mobil 1 full synthetic oil since I bought the X back in 02. Maybe that helps with engine wear and efficiency? FYI when I use to live further away from work and would run 75-80mph on the HWY my mileage would be 17-18.5. It seems my X is very sensitive about mileage especially at higher speeds.

Well here is the condensator update. I have 700 miles on the thing since I installed it and so far it only accomplishes 2 of the 3 things it claims. First off the company claims that it will
1. Lower harmful exhaust emmissions
2. Remove unburnable oil out of the gases going back into the intake through the PCV.
3. Improve fuel economy by 15%.

Well As for #1 I did find a study conducted by the EPA that did confirm that it did reduce exhaust emissions by 10-15%. Thats not quite the 50% the company claimed but any reduction does help out the air we breath.

#2 This one I can say it true. My condensator has removed oil which would have otherwise been put back into my engine in an attempt to burn it.

#3 False. The company claims a 2000 mile break in period so I will continue to drive with it installed until I reach that mark but so far I have only averaged a .23 mpg increase in fuel mileage. On my most recent fill up I got 20.33mpg while the average before the condensator was 20.1mpg.

Only time will tell but I have got to go to Texas next month so I will see if it does any better on the hwy.

i've got a 2006 4x2 S & on a couple occasions i've surpassed even sticker MPG. i've saved every gas recipt & put it on this spreadsheet that i made since i've owned the vehicle (new in case you ask). unfortunatly i didnt start recording milage untill about mid may. brief maintenance history is i do my schedualed maintenance by the supplied service manual except that instead of 3750 i do it at 3000 incriments. i also use full synthetic + a penzoil oil addative every oil change.

Proof. please tell me if the calculations are wrong (mpg column: (D24-D23)/A24= MPG for the fill up on the 31st of may)

I was getting about 17.5 taking it easy with the supercharger. Put 32's light bar and tire on top and dropped down to 15....on the highway doing about 75 I was getting as low as 13.

I don't know why everyone is whining about gas mileage or how some of you drive but I get at least 21-25 every tank. Sure I've got an intake and exhaust but I also have tons of armor. The only time my gas sucks is on the trail or towing something.

I truly mean no offense, but everybody here gets 14 to a max of 21 or so but then a few "magic" Xterras somehow get 21-25. Just ain't buyin' it.

Especially since the X is "armored".

I got 17.3 mpg yesterday after including tire difference and all that. I was amazed. This was rather weird it was the same commute to and from work as always. Oh well, I'm not gonna complain.

Maybe the 20mpg use the "tornado" or some magnet fuel line's. I find it hard to believe.
