Eats gas like V8 5.0L
I have a 1995 240sx however it eats gas like v8 5.0L
I can figure out what is the problem I change fuel filter I put in fuel filter from 300zx, oil change etc……… however I had full tank of plus gas yesterday and I drove 120 miles “highway” and my car eat half of the tank that can be good and I was not pushing it at all.
If any body can help me to figure out what it is that would be great.
Thanks:

A 02 sensor is located in the Exuast Manifold. It Relays the Air to fuel Mixture to the motor. If its bad it will Tell the computer the car is running Lean and add more gas. Thus killing your gas mileage.

like i told the other guy with bad gas mileage, this is something you should bring to a dealership. and ask them to hook it up to an exhaust gas analyzer which will tell you if your running in a rich, lean, or misfire condition...and then have them hook it up to a scope and check all the sensors, and then you will have an accurate why ur car is doing that...the amount of fuel used is determined by so many factors, you could have a bad vacuum leak, air bypassing the maf or speed density sensor causing your 02 sensors to sense a lean condition and dump more fuel, could be a bad 02 sensor, it could be a egr vavle open or stuck closed, it could be a bad tps sensor...like i said there are alot of things to check be smart and spend the money b4 something goes horrible wrong with your motor

The mass airflow sensor is mounted right after your air filter and the o2 sensor is mounted to the exhaust or headers. so, no they are not one in the same. hope this helps.
