mpg

I have a PV muffler - Used a Fuel Injector cleaner and a couple times I used an octane booster - Now I run 87 octane and get 16-17 on and off highway driving.

What, you got a Duster engine in yours? Mine came with a V6! ;pg;

Isn't the V6 in the VX just a 3.2 motor with 3.5 heads

It'd still be a 3.2 then. Basically the same engine though, just stroked a tad.



Yeah, I know, being a smart-*****

Don't forget that when you have huge tires on you're numbers are going to be all wrong. The larger diameter makes the odometer think you've only gone 8 or 9 miles when you've really gone ten, so it looks like they've really hurt your mileage even if they haven't. If you think you're getting 16mpg you are probably getting more like 18. Since getting my Nittos 285s I've checked my mileage and gotten much better mileage, although I attribute it to the engine loosening up as I approach 50,000 miles. I was getting at least 19mpg on the highway over my summer vacation from MI to AZ thru the flat states :-] and I used to get more like 14.
