365 miles. ONE TANK.

[Joe Isuzu]

I received my AERO 2525XL muffler today and I was shocked at how small it was. I was expecting this big honkin' tube but it's actually quite small. I really really hope this thing isn't too loud. It looks like it will be. I was actually riding around today thinking just how quiet the VX really is with the stock muffler/airbox. I did manage to get bi-xenon HID's installed last night although I haven't had a chance to actually use them at night.

good luck on the muffler, I learned the hard way on that and am still trying to figure out if I can live with my new aggressive sound...

Does it drone a bunch in the cabin? I heard the video clip of it and it didn't sound bad at all...

[Joe Isuzu]

I don't have the same style muffler that you do, I have a flowmaster

[VehiGAZ]

I learned the hard way on that

You and me both.

You folks need to try Lucas gas treatment. (No, I don't own stock in the company.) It costs $10.00 for 5 tank fulls and you get 40-50 more miles per tank. A no brainer at today's gas prices. Also, try 39 lbs of tire air pressure, it helps our mileage, as well. Less roll resistance. Keep coasting and taking it out of gear at lights, but keep the PRNDL linkage well lubed with lithium grease.

I have 356 on mine right now, the light is on but I am lifted. I also am doing the acetone mixture.

I get in the mid to upper 300 all the time now. The best tool you can buy is a Scan Gauge II, it really helps you monitor you driving and helps you keep the power consistent on the freeway. Its like a game to try and keep it at 20 mpg.

I actually just filled up 20.20 gallons with 361 on the tank....I used to barely get 270.

Just got 356 miles out of tank with low-fuel light on steady for about the last 10 miles. I was going to go for the gold (366 miles) but chickened out....bok bok bok...cluck....cock-a-doodle-doo.

I honestly did not believe you as I have tried these things before with very little effects, but I just got 2+ more MPG on my last trip using the Lucas Fuel system additive, thanks, I will be trying this out some more.

[Joe Isuzu]

ok, I'm sick of being the low man on the totem pole on this, I've not scratched 300 except for a couple of times and typically ALWAYS get 270 on a tankful, it's annoying hearing all you people getting mid-300's
grrrrrr!!
I was going to mess with the spark plugs to see if they're in need of replacing but I will also try the lucas tx first, ANYTHING will be an improvement here....

Change fuel filter. And then tell me about the exhaust you have coming out at idle?

[Joe Isuzu]

fuel filter changed at 90k

I forgot to address the exhaust question, I guess I didn't quite understand your question. If you're talking about the rev's maintaining a high number even when you lift off the gas, that got remedied by bleeding some surplus tranny fluid. It's still not the way I remember (could be my memory) it but it's definitely better than what it was. Exhaust is still loud to me but I'm learning to adjust for the time being.
I got the gas tx last night and pumped up the air pressures. Keeping my fingers crossed.
