Post your avg mpg

[Ldub]

after maket intake, 919's lift about 3.5 inches, 33"s tires, 17 inch rims, and i'm avereging on highway only 11.11111 MPG, it sucks my balls out, but now i dirve it like 2-3 days a week, and i enjoy it, and if i cared so much about milage i would of sold it by now, but i love to drive the vx and the vx love for it weighs more then it consumes me. the only problem i have is that i was doing 350-400 miles a tank full, and after my trip cross country now i'm doing 220-250 mpg a tank full. it sucks and to this day i'm still trying to find why and trying to fight some gay grimlins that some of you guys now of. But i still love it just bought a roof rack can't wait to get it and show pic's of it, from the finish inside dash project to the new out side look. the only thing that sucks is that i got the rack shipped to my parents house back in florida and i'm in cali so it's driving me nuts knowing i could of had it with me already.

Are you compensating for odometer error? If not, you are getting about 11% better mileage than you think, due to the 33" tires being 11% larger than stock.

nope, never thought of that, so much more will that be like 12.2 mpg?

Yep, about 12.2-12.3...maxing out the air pressure (max rated on the sidewall) may help a little too.

thats cool, sweet, thanx Ldub.

My '99 is bone stock and I get 16.8 to 17.5 in mostly city driving.

I'd like to know how the guys with turbo/super chargers fair in the gas wars? It can't be good. Single digits? I didn't notice any posts from anyone who has made that mod, but I'd like to.

I'm supercharged and have mine posted above. I don't really notice much of a change - if anything I'm getting better mileage.

Compensating for larger tires, I get rougly 12-13mpg on 93oct with the S/C. But I also only put about 2k miles on it a year.

On highway trips with the cruise set @ 65 I average a bit over 17.5, but kickin' it around town it's about 10-12...the S/C has turned me into an even more hopeless acceleration junkie..

I'm supercharged, 3"+ lift on 33" tires, Amsoil syn in everything...even blinker fluid.

i avg close to 15-19 mpg. i have 33 in nitto terra graps, flowmaster 40 series exhaust, light bar on roof. plus a few other things

[Solitude]

15mpg 255/55/18 terra grapplers.. no lift no intake synthetic oil

[SuperDave]

Twelve mpg combined. All stock but for Yokohama Geolanders and Pioneer AVIC-N2 with amped subwoofer. VX is a gas and oil junkie, but I'm the enabler. I could get better mileage by coasting to stop lights.

[alanbradley]

14 to 15 combined, depending. I got 19 on a recent motorway (highway) run. All of those are mpg(US) rather than mpg(Imp) - you guys have longer miles or something...

Its a bit of a shock after my Yaris diesel that averaged 48mpg(US) and with fuel prices at well over $2/litre its something of a wallet stretcher but I knew all thsi when i bought it so...

I have 2 VX's a 2000 Proton and a 2001 Dragon. The Proton runs stock rubber in the summer months and 31/10.50X15 with Rock Crawler wheels in the winter. The Dragon has Nitto 285/60X18 Terra Grabbers. With corrections for the difference in tire sizes, the Proton is getting 14 with the winter blend of gas. In the summer with the stock tires on I was getting 18. The Dragon is getting 14.5 adjusted milage. I haven't had it long enough to give a summer reading yet. The only modification to the Proton is a K&N drop in filter. The Dragon has a Green drop in.
