I noticed that my Nissan Maxima '92 mileage is around 20 miles/gallon - which seems pretty low. I believe I am doing all the right things to conserve gas. I accelerate gently from a stop. During morning hours, I do get stuck with a little bit of stop-and-go traffic but the evening commute is nothing like that. The day-to-day work commute is about 15 miles (out of which 14 miles are on the highway). I have a relatively new air-filter (I have put around 3000 miles on it). I change oil regularly. And I use 91 Octane gas. Would appreciate any suggestions or comments on this topic ...
Thanks.

PS: Not that it matters - but the total mileage on this car is around
172000 miles.
