13.17mpg - 32'' tires and 3'' lift - I was getting closer to 15 in the warmer weather.
12 combined highway and city no matter what. 33" tires and a 4.5" lift. Rims are 20" alloy and are HEAVY. Handles better than stock though aside from acceleration.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.
11 - 12 miles per gallon. 2 inch lift, 31 x12.5 x 15 tires/wheels, powervault muffler, green airfilter, I am heavy on the little pedal too.
Ask forgiveness, not permission.
13-14 lately.. was 16-18 over summer... green performance drop in filter.. mobil 1 everywhere and a roof basket w/ lights that adds some drag im sure.. also good to note my engine lives in the 3500-4500 rpm range hehe![]()
11 to 14 miles per gallon.
Who would put up with this if the VX wasn't so great!!

One of the few, my numbers are higher than most...as little as 17 (combined) usually 19 or betterOn highway runs, at 65-80, I get around 21. (the first thousand or so, I got a dismal 13) It got swapped out all around on day one with Mobil 1....I even pulled the bearings (found them rusty!) and repacked them. K&N filters (oil and air) Lucas in the fuel (always) 93 Sunoco or 93 Shell always. Oil swaps between 2500 and 3000 with PCV (each time) OEM Bridgestones (that's about to change) and meticulous matainence of other fluids is about it. All I can figure is, Florida is very flat....and I got a good one....maybe the two year break in had something to do with it
Forgot the Magnaflow muffler....that didn't change anything but the noise anyway

I get from 17 to 19, on 87 Octane(sp), got about 20 once, but don't know what I did right. I have about a 50 mile trip to work, up and down a lot of hills, so very little of what you would cal hiway miles. Everything is pretty stock, except a K&N air filter.
I will agree, who'd put up with such poor milage if it wasn't such a great thing to drive.
17 to 19 mpg, but 100 spm, (smiles per mile), that equals about 19000 smiles per gallon!!!!:bgwg:
