32.85 Mpg?!

i was at half a tank yesterday - we have a 22.5 gallon tank - but to get it all the way full only took a little over 6 gallons... when i did the math i am getting about 18 mpg in city since changing the exhaust to free flowing - got about 14 before - could be coincidence but in happy either way - not sure what to do about my gas guage though

Any pics????

sorry when i said exhaust i meant muffler (only $75 so if it really does help my mpg it will pay for itself in a few tanks) - im working on getting pics uploaded of the new muffler and the old oem one that i cut apart and should have them on here soon

Since we are on the gas milage bug:

does having the intake make a difference for the VX? i was just gonna get the tube and swap a better filter....

35... that would have been a dream....

Not a noticable amount zerosix. You will feel more pickup but not significant improvement in mileage

Is that with a generic "turbo" muffler? What's the approx body size?

Your MPG improvement is awesome...and I hope the pics will lead us to the realization that the OEM mufflers might be hurting us more than we think (if/when that valve sticks).

Looking forward to pics!

I added a cold air intake like this to my V6 Accord Coupe and the mileage went down...can't imagine why but every time I drove it I found my right foot very heavy and my ears enjoying that wonderful sound...:bwgy::smilewink:bgwo::bgwb:

This is called “experimental error”, the smaller your sample, the greater the possibility that your experiment will be flawed! Next time, drive it longer ;).

If, for some reason, you were FORCED to fill up after 100 miles, you would have to perform 10 such experiments and then average them out.

Edit: Just realized that this thread is quite old... :o

Yep... Now it's getting exhausted! Maybe it's time to muffle it?

:p
