    I get about 16-17 in mixed city and highway driving, that's about 330 miles on a tankful. Keep in mind I have only recently managed to get my CEL turned off (it's been on for a couple of years!) so I am hopeful that my mileage might go up a notch.
    I know you believe you understand what you think I said; but what you fail to realize is that what you heard is not what I meant.

    Just filled up this morning. Taking an 11% odo error into account for tire size, I averaged 12mpg on my last tank, all in town driving.

    I usually average 15-17 on the open road.

    9999, according to my ScanGauge.

    Been sitting in my garage for a few weeks and only gets started on weekends to knock the cobwebs out. She is going through some "reconstruction", of sorts atm.

    Typically, about 10-12mpg. My weekend spirited toy.

    Who Cares

    You have to expect some downside for driving one of the coolest vehicles ever made

    Thumbs up

    I hit 19 city & 23 highway.
    I drives like my grandma & the fact that i use premium (93) probably helps.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    I've always gotten 19-20 mpg in the summer and 17.5-18.5 in the winter. I don't drive it like I stole it. Your right foot is probably the biggest factor in mpg on a mostly stock VX.

    I get 15-18 city... 18-20 highway... one time I did get a little over 400 miles on a tankful, but I do have the '02 Axiom engine so that may have an effect on things.
    We sit together, my VX and I, until only the VX remains.
