New record on MPG for me.

Thats awesome. You must have filled up with about a half gallon left in the tank.....

well ever sense i have had bad luck with things always braking down on me on my VX or just simply time to replace alot of parts, i have tend to get in to the habit of constently watching and hearing everything my VX does or sounds. so i keep with the maint... all the time, i check everything i can possebly think of like 2-3 times a week and replace anything small and cheap all the time to keep the emissions and fuel consumptions as low as possible. well Thats my secret, i guess thats what have been improving my MPG, if not then i don't know, but i just suggest just to take care of your VX like if it's a real baby and keep it up to date all the time. chance the oil, and fluids, check the pcv valve, intake, temp's on oils, also it depands alot in your driving, not accelerating to fast unless you have to, and stuff like that. thats my guess, there is more, i just can't think of what else i do, oh allways fill up you tank to full, thats another thing i do.

I went from around 280 per tank to over 300 with changing out my EGR valve. Some have just cleaned, but I swapped for new. However, now that I have a lift and bigger tires, I am back to sucking gas as fast as the Colorado river flows.

Move to a place that's flat. I average about 19 mpg (figured against the pump numbers and the odo) sometimes 20

i'm in Cali right now, and i pay the average gas pump at $3.90, this freaken state is expansive, espacially in San Francisco and there is so many hills and mountains here, so i guess i would do even better at florida with my MPG, Hopefully soon i will move back to florida. But yeah the spark plugs where a whole 1/2 inch longer then the normal recommanded plugs.
