My last little problem to fix

[westslope]

The earlier model pathfinders are fuel hogs at 3,000 rpm or higher.  Drop to 2,750 rpm.  I find it makes a big difference.

 

As for the gauge dropping quickly, are you sure the fuel sender unit is working properly?  Just sayin'.

 

 

 

 

Cajun engineering, eh?  Hilarious.

If I stay off the interstate I think around 2600 rpms it gets 16 to 17 mpg. My engineering didn't help so I guess I can take the vise grips off. I will just have to ignore the fuel mileage till spring then fix my exhaust and go from there.

I just don't understand how a 3L motor can burn this much fuel. My 5.6L titan does better than the pathy on fuel mileage both highway and in town and it has some ass under the pedal. If it's going to burn that much fuel it should at least has some power!

Well that's why it gets better mileage, it has the power to easily move the weight. You end up asking a lot from a 140 HP motor to haul 4000 LBS dry, then adding fuel, people, and gear.
