    I've been getting between 290 and 310 lately... my last tank (i just filled up a minute ago) was all in town driving and i got 305 with a 20 gallon fill, then my tank b4 that was mostly in town with a trip to Thousand Oaks, then Montecito, then Thousand Oaks back home to Ventura, which put me at 320 on a 20 gallon fill.....

    it has made me happy considering i lost my job at honda and gas prices continue to rise...

    I received my AERO 2525XL muffler today and I was shocked at how small it was. I was expecting this big honkin' tube but it's actually quite small. I really really hope this thing isn't too loud. It looks like it will be. I was actually riding around today thinking just how quiet the VX really is with the stock muffler/airbox. I did manage to get bi-xenon HID's installed last night although I haven't had a chance to actually use them at night.

    good luck on the muffler, I learned the hard way on that and am still trying to figure out if I can live with my new aggressive sound...

    Does it drone a bunch in the cabin? I heard the video clip of it and it didn't sound bad at all...

    You folks need to try Lucas gas treatment. (No, I don't own stock in the company.) It costs $10.00 for 5 tank fulls and you get 40-50 more miles per tank. A no brainer at today's gas prices. Also, try 39 lbs of tire air pressure, it helps our mileage, as well. Less roll resistance. Keep coasting and taking it out of gear at lights, but keep the PRNDL linkage well lubed with lithium grease.

    I honestly did not believe you as I have tried these things before with very little effects, but I just got 2+ more MPG on my last trip using the Lucas Fuel system additive, thanks, I will be trying this out some more.
