gas guzzler

[AlaskaVX]

I am running 33's and see 10mpg city and 13 mpg highway

Something is seriously wrong if you aren't exagerating, or your fuel guage is off

[dkmiller68]

move to a smaller town?

[Triathlete]

Your killing me DK!

[Ldub]

Is that 1/2 tank because the gas gauge said it was?...or 1/2 tank because you filled gas, drove across town & back, then refilled @ 11 gal. +or-.
I'm a little suspicious of your gas gauge.
Just a thought...

My gas gauge goes down 1/2 way after burning about 3 gallons.

I get 12-13 miles per gallon in the city with A/C on.

[JULIAN911]

I have a 2" lift with 33" tires and get about 11mpg city, 15mpg hwy.

[Ldub]

Transio,
Mine's kinda strange too...usually under all city conditions (I know, I'd have to drive 4 hrs. to get to an actual city) mine will go dwn. to the 3/4 mark at about 45-50 miles.

Julian, how on earth did you fit 33s with just a 2 inch lift? You must have done some serious fenderwell mods!

im with this man my gauge is stupid too...it drops a 1/4 tank in 2miles. i get around 17~ mpg combined on a stock 56k mile vx.

[Mr.Quackers]

kinda the same.. i figure im getting around 200 miles a tank.. or mostly about 10 mpg... all city driving though so i am not sure if this is normal... even though it is seeming more and more like it is.

There's something wrong with that.

Obviously, a lot of factors come in to play with gas milage but I'm getting at least 300 miles per tank before the light comes on. When I fill up, I still have a little over two gallons left. Considering we have a 22.5 gallon tank, 300 miles for 20 gallons seems to be pretty good for the VX

I commute in rush hour traffic (25 miles in hour to hour and half) twice a day and I still get at least 300 miles to a tank. I usually fill up at around 310 miles and I've never had the fuel light come on. Generally takes just shy of 20 gals to fill. I've found that if I use super instead of regular it not only runs better, but I get a mile to mile and half more per gallon. Maybe Washington gas is better?

so something must be wrong then. any idea how i can fix this? or at least how i can help it out?

[raver_boi_88]

well I cleaned my fuel injectors last night and it helped a little but i took it in this mornin to the isuzu store and they looked at it for about an hour or so. It turns out that I wasnt really burning a half a tank, the gas gauge sensor was screwed up. Apparently it was sticking on something. So the guys at isuzu ordered me a new one.

I've been getting 13 to 14.4 mpg city, 17 to 19 mpg highway. Stock engine & exaust.
