I have a 1991 pathfinder 4x4, my current mpg is 12city and 15 highway. Nissan rated this vehicle at 15city, 18 higway, but it's got 150, 000kms on it so this isn't bad. You didn't mention what yours gets in mpg, but a good tune up never hurts, I changed a dirty air filter when I was getting only 11mpg highway. Either way, it's nissans biggest fuel pig of that year, don't expect too much, but if you're getting less than 10mpg, you got a problem somewhere.

I am not sure what i'm geting, I dont drive it that often. It has 180k on it. I allso have a 91 nissan pickup, KA24E it seems to get twice the mpg that the pathfinder gets. My pathfinder pulls to the right realy hard all the time. Maby one of the wheels is locking up. What do you think the problem could be?

Pulling to one side, that'll hike up the cost of driving it! Could be the caliper seized, wheel bearing, tie rod, etc... Fix that before worrying about gas, and yes, the pickup gets far better mpg.
