VX on MPG in City?? Honest answer please

[Nazrat]

My last tank of gas was 15.5mpg. That's with a heavy foot and a supercharger. I'd have to assume that something either wasn't stock, or something was broken/worn out if you got worse gas mileage than that. My high is 22mpg on the highway (again, moving fairly fast).

12 city.

Supercharged, cat back, etc.

At least 1 pedal fully down 100% of the time.

I get from 13 to 15 depending if people driving around me are driving like jackasses.

I wouldnt get a VX if you are really in need of an auto that gets good mileage. Depending if you are a lead foot or not, it can go from 12 to 15 in stop-and-go traffic. Some get as much as 18 on the highway. If you are going to be driving a lot be prepared for the VX's tight suspension. For me, I love the nimble handling of it plus the looks.... there is nothin' like it.

There are lots of L.A. VXer's around including a few female owners. A few of us got together just this week and invited Creeg who is also looking for a VX to join us. He got the royal "VX treatment" by Cascabel, LisaK and I. When we left him he had that "I really want a VX" smile on his face.

Thank you for all the great replies

I really appreciate the honesty, and Anita, I wish I had caught up
with you gals, dang.

You and I need to chat really soon, and I am going to go check out and see your pics after this post.

I am so glad to hear there a few VX'ers from L.A. (guys and gals) and
Norcal, as this info is my first step to confirm I am ready to take the
plunge.


I knew and know the gas mileage was going to be the "issue" for me to decide on, but I really feel this is the car I must take to Mammoth for those ski trips and those drives up and down the coast, of course, after shmooozing it up with the clients during the week.

OK...I am definitely feeling the good vibes on my choice.

Hooray for your replies, and I can't wait to catch up with you locals.

Off to read the forums, learn about this car inside and out so the questions may keep flying until I am all tuckered out with informaiton.

Back soon!

Well I just filled up last night, and it figured out to 15.5 BUT that includes pulling my jet boat back and forth to the river twice and some "high speed playing" on the highway. I usually seem to get in the high teens when driving around (17-18). That 's normall driving. When playing it gets worse and when towing I think it drops to the low teens. The only mod is the Cat back exhaust on my VX
I actually found a station last night near my sister's house that was at $2.299 but I'm sure that'll be up today. The average price seems to be $2.52 which kind of sucks when I have to fill the boat and the VX at the same time
