That was the sub-text, yes. ;-)
I don't think any of us bought our VXs without knowing the fuel economy situation. But significant decreases in economy (other than by our own zany mods) is a perfectly legitimate gripe.

Sorry, I'm the exception. I've always gotten 17 or 18 here in very flat Fla.. Mobil 1 and Green Grease all around with fanatical matainance. True- when I blast around, it'll drop to 11.

The lowest mpg I've gotten is 17.5. I always run stock size tires, so my odometer is apparently correct. Last summer I checked my mileage with three fills in a row on stock spark plugs with 77K miles and got 19.73-19.97. This week with new plugs after 9K miles I filled up and drove 304.6 miles. It took 15.44 gallons to refill, so that comes to 19.73 mpg. I guess it could be the summer fuel mix, but whatever it is, I like it.

When I went to the Vermont VX-Plore meet from PA I was running my VX with cruise at 65 most of the way traveling interstate 90 with 31" Bridgestone Revo AT's(@40psi with 44psi max) and the SC/CF intake and got 22.6 mpg (no adj. for tire size) on the way to the meet and busted 23 mpg (no adj. for tire size) on the way back. I did swap out my fuel pressure regulator a few weeks back.
Spazz...I think you should change out your fuel pressure regulator...my VX got worse mileage over time and even started having starting issues when hot (i.e. stopping for gas it would take 2-3 times to restart)...all of this was cured when I changed out my fuel pressure regulator.
