FE just keeps droping no matter how much I hypermile
I have a 1996 Nissan Maxima and it gets worse on gas everyday it seems. When I first got it back in 2005 as my first car, I ran it very hard of course. I got about 28 MPG running it moderately hard sometimes. Then I began learning how to hypermile, I started by just accelerating carefully and making sure I am always in the highest possible gear, and throwing it in N while coasting, keeping the RPM down. After I began doing EOC, P&G, etc, I was able to stay around about 32 MPG! But now I have a problem and I dont know whats wrong! Now no matter how much EOCing, P&Ging I do and no matter how carefully I acccel and no matter how high of a gear I am in I can only get 22 MPG at MOST!
Info about my car:
V6 3 liters DOHC
2 BRAND NEW O2 sensors, 1 on each bank
BRAND NEW EGR valve hose
Changed transmission fluid just a few months ago.
Tires at 40 PSI
So does anyone know what the problem could be?
