Maxima effort

I DRIVE my 1991 Nissan Maxima on short trips from a cold start and I'm getting 14 litres over 100km. On a trip I get about 9.0 litres over 100km, but I'm wondering if there is something wrong with it.

THE highway fuel consumption seems fine. The consumption around town could be because you drive short distances from a cold start. A significant part of your running could be in the cold enrichment phase, which will increase consumption. It doesn't sound as if there is anything dramatically wrong with your car.
