liberty has a bad tip over rating.
and yeah.. the xterra is SO much nicer looking.
if you want to keep your gas mileage high, every 10,000 miles, check you rtire pressure , ALWAYS.. ALWAYS.. change your iol at 3,000 miles and tune-ups.. never miss one.
you will see it will stay about the same and wont break your bank.
dont fall for the ' premium gas' either.
there are only a hand full of cars that really NEED premium gas and sorry babe.. you cant afford one!!
( that is what the dealer told me about that premium gas and i was like WTF? who are YOU talking to like that??
, but then he explained and now I wont touch the stuff )
Any 6 cylinder or below can operate on an octane rating of 93 or less. the ones that require premium are the realllllly expencive sport cars.
another tip i learned from a mechanic..
Always use the same type of gas. Dont bounce between gas companies . If y ou start using Shell, always use shell. introducing new gas / alcohol/water ratios to your engine causes unecessary engine wear and will raise your gas needs QUICKLY.
oh wait.....
didnt i say I was going to stop babbling on your thread?
sorry...
hehee I cant help it. I am a car dork.
But i hope i helped you SOME in my constant talk.
