    I just tested my VX. Filled up, reset mileage, and I got 357 miles on one tank. I probably could have gone another few miles as well, the light was not on yet.

    That’s nuts. I probly could get closer to 250 then I am now but my gas gauge is messed up so I get nervous when its close to empty.

    Everyone's favorite show, "Top Gear" Dyno'ed his Shelby Mustang, "Bullet" edition @ 250 HP
    I think our 215 HP and 16 MPG VX's are in range.

    The "dyno'd HP" on the Mustang is measured @ the rear wheels...

    The 215 stock HP of the VX is measured at the crank.

    Sorry, maybe Cyrk, or ?, has the rear wheel Dyno #

    I'm just saying, for the amount of HP, you sacrifice fuel, no matter what you drive.
