MPG

[alterastro]

So come on, own up! What kind of MPG is everyone getting? The reason I ask is I have a Scangauge II and it's telling me I'm getting an average of 13-14mpg

I am running big rubber and a heavy right foot, but even so!!!! She runs sweet and I'd be surprised if anything is wrong, but what do you think?

i get an average of 9 round london, and 15 on the motorway lol

Country laning is probably around 13 too. Does seam VERY inefficient !!!!

oh, are you UK gallons or Yanky ??? Just that there was a slip of paper to calibrate the scan guage for UK gallons when i got it and i never read it

13 in the city is what I get. I'll take any suggestions to improve that! IIRC these things were rated at 15mpg city when they were new. 10 years later I guess that number could drop a little.

[crotchrocket]

well if i ever have to sell it im taking the guage out and claiming 30mpg, lol

I get about 16-17 in mixed city and highway driving, that's about 330 miles on a tankful. Keep in mind I have only recently managed to get my CEL turned off (it's been on for a couple of years!) so I am hopeful that my mileage might go up a notch.

Just filled up this morning. Taking an 11% odo error into account for tire size, I averaged 12mpg on my last tank, all in town driving.

I usually average 15-17 on the open road.

9999, according to my ScanGauge.

Been sitting in my garage for a few weeks and only gets started on weekends to knock the cobwebs out. She is going through some "reconstruction", of sorts atm.

Typically, about 10-12mpg. My weekend spirited toy.

You have to expect some downside for driving one of the coolest vehicles ever made

[Gussie2000]

I hit 19 city & 23 highway.
I drives like my grandma & the fact that i use premium (93) probably helps.

I've always gotten 19-20 mpg in the summer and 17.5-18.5 in the winter. I don't drive it like I stole it. Your right foot is probably the biggest factor in mpg on a mostly stock VX.

I get 15-18 city... 18-20 highway... one time I did get a little over 400 miles on a tankful, but I do have the '02 Axiom engine so that may have an effect on things.

[rowhard]

Well, 12.5 city. 17-18 highway, but then that is a U.S. gallon, 3.86 liters versus 4.5 for the Imperial gallon

15.5 running 32's and a lift...this is not counting the 10% difference so really about 17 overall.

Are you still using acetone? Haven't heard anything about it for a while.

[JHarris1385]

Not for about the last six months...I peaked at about 2.5-3 extra non adjusted miles per gallon and it has been mildly slipping since. I just picked up another quart to start again. I wanted to wait a while and see things slip and just give it a break to check everything out. All good so far.
