    Since you list no off road mods, or mods of any kind for that matter...(going by what I see in your profile)that sounds about right...

    What's your point...

    I used to get 19 MPG... when my VX was not set up for off-roading (a long long time ago) .
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    No point other than most people denigrate the VX for poor government-listed "gas guzzler" mileage. I see plenty of brand new models not offering much more than 20 mpg, highway. I think the VX brand new was EPA stickered at just 19 mpg highway. We're doing much better than that with mixed city/country usage, in 13 year old equipment; so don't downplay the VX mileage, up-play the fact that it really does better than the original EPA estimate measure, that's all.
