mpg improved by computer chip

I can't think of a vehicle with heavy-duty 4WD running gear, fully boxed ladder frame, etc., that gets significantly better mileage.

Would have been cool as a diesel.

Took my first extended trip with my New (to me) VX. It wasn't that far, just from the East Coast to the West Coast. (of Florida) and back. Am happy to report getting 19.22 MPG on that tank of fuel. I was a bit concerned about the mileage from the two tanks I had gone through before the trip (and really the only others since the purchase), but now I can say I am pretty happy. Running around town and teaching my daughter the finer points of driving I have gotten 12 to 13 mpg. On the trip home after purchase (in Tampa) I got 15.

Last Year I Installed a Computer Chip I Purchased Online To Increase My MPG. At Most My VX MPG Increased Insignificantly I Could Not Even Tell The Difference. When I Tried To Get My New York State Annual Vehicle Inspection, My VX Kept FAILING Inspection. It Did Not Pass Inspection Until I Removed The Computer Chip!

I swear that my VX is the only vehicle I have owned that gets better mpg with hotter weather. I got my best mileage on I15 out in the Mohave desert @ 95 degrees and relatively flat highway allowed me to get 23 mpg with Bridgestone Revo A/T's iirc 265-75-r16. Yes, repl fuel pressure regulator if it needs repl gives you a couple mpg too.
