the ultimate gas saver...

I've heard of lifting a VX but what about lifting the tire pressure? We've lifted ours to 39 lbs. from 29lbs. It may wear tire centers faster and ride a bit stffer but it also boosts mileage due to reduced roll resistance. Try this measure with Lucas and 20 mpg on 10% ethanol is possible with summer blend gas.

I have tried to read as much as possible about this acetone idea. For anyone who has actually tried it...how long have you been using it? any noticeable wear on any seals, hoses, etc? That is my main concern. Do you use it constantly or add every few tanks or so? If it doesn't tear up the inside I am all for it, but to save a few bucks at the pump and risk major problems down the road isn't worth it...Any real feedback is appreciated

i still say the way you drive your vx makes the biggest difference...

over the weekend i made a 500 mile trip... i averaged 19.1mpg using regular octane.. no fuel additives or any of those gimmicks.. i have a green performance drop in filter and a PV2 muffler

this is up from 8-10 months ago i was averaging 12-15mpg.. the only things i have done differently is removing my roof rack and being easier on the gas/cruising

I just filled up 18.29 gallons with 323 on the tank....= 17.66. I have my 20'' chrome (noted becuase of the weight chrome holds) with 265/55 tires. I have now toned down the acetone to about every third tank. The acetone has no effects on seals. This was proven in my thread. It acts as many things, a cleaner and a liquid that burns at a more dense and slower volume.

I got my acetone at Target in the cosmetics isle.

Acetone is nail polish remover , just make sure it get the one that says 100% pure acetone. The one without any colored/scented additives.

Sorry for my sarcasm, but a quick google search might've saved you my flippancy.

Its more expensive in that asile. Go to the paint cleaners and thinners area.

just from being more consistent on the gas (ie not not accelerating hard after im up to speed) but i still rev up to 4000-4500 off the line pretty much every time.. still floor it when merging.. i just dont accelerate much once i am up to speed.. and try to coast to a stop whenever possible
