I Love My Vx But Hate The Mileage!

[Kahuna]

Not sure why it's so heavy, but ask anybody who has been in an accident in one (and there are a few in here). They say if it wasn't for the VX they would have died or been in bad shape. It's that weight that makes our VX fair better than the other in an accident.

Full "ladder type" frame that everything is bolted to is the main reason this little bugger is more heavy than it's puny unibody cuzzins.(rav 4 etc.)
But that's OK w/ me...More heavy=More strong.

I just ran up to Detroit and back (to pick up tires from MrTews -Thanks John!).

I recorded 325 miles -I used 15.9 gallons of gas.
This was done at 70-75 on the highway, with 255/55 tires.

Not too shabby after all.
