i have a 2001 mazda b3000 pickup truck that has 73k miles on it. I bought about 8 months ago and have been very pleased with it. I am 16 years old so i like to customize my pick up i have to date : a brush guard with lights plus the stock fog lights, back window picture of deer, and a body lift. Not to talk about the body lift. It is dressed out with mossy oak decals. My brother has a v4 2000 nissan frontier and he puts 20 gallons in it and goes for 220 miles on the highway and my mazda v6 has 25 gallon tank and gets 320 miles to a tank. What is up with that?????i cant figure it out and niether my brother could. Does nissan just get poor milage for the motor??? R what is up with that.

Someone please help us out with this question
thx for your responce

lol that my brother dave for u, and to anyone that has not caught on yet this is his brother with the nissan frontier 2000 xe inline 4. i put 31X50R15 on her with a 3inch body lift. yea some of the power has left but not much and the gas milage thing is not true, i get over 25 mpg easy and my millage is screwed b/c of the tires. his mazda b3000 get probably 17 to 21 best.

0 and to clear things up his tuck is stock with a surfi bar on it. not even close to what i call a brush gurad. and his tranny shifts like a bitch from 1 to 2 then it makes a very noticeable whinning noise,

and i would not trade even for this truck after seeing the power mirriors and power windows quit i am sure i dont want on of this so called mazda's aka "ford wanna be's"
