Mileage

[rocket man]

I got 235,000 on my Proton. BTW any major component need for your VX is readily available at: car-part.com Transfer cases are cheap there. I paid $525 including shipping for a tranny with the T/C. That was at 185, 000 miles on the my chassis. The tranny had 66k and was out of a Trooper 2. It came on a pallet and was drop shipped to my sons work because they had a fork lift over there. Probably not necessary for a T/C alone. Good luck Lashquat. Car Part is not just one place but is 100's of wrecking yards across the US and Canada on a common website...

IMO, this thread/poll should be closed and restarted. Votes/Results since 2004 don't give ANY real indication of current mileage/problems on your units.

Especially for the few who really want to complain! Don't you think?

Even 2yrs since the last real posts before Lashsquat.

I removed my Intake Manifold and Cleaned out a tremendous amount of Carbon deposits and replaced the Intake manifold gasket. Then Installed a New EGR with a Gasket. I Hope this Improves my Gas Mileage !

84k here. Bought it about two years ago with about 78k. Only major repair so far was fuel pump.

123k starting to notice her age now some, about 14mpg and stuff feeling loose and old but i still love it

[Y33TREKker]

38,250 at the moment, and the guesses were that it was either a 2009 or 2012 model just the other day.

156,xxx in one 123,xxx on the other, stuff is lose and rattles (turns up music) and MPG in 156,xxx is awful with oversized tires and lift, getting near 10-11mpg. Still running like champs tho!

Dang ... the cloud cover in that pic makes it look like God don't like Ohio-ians much ... & is about to kick yer butts.

Did you adjust your mpg calculations for the bigger tires?

Haha no I haven't really adjusted for that but I guess I probably should consider that.Wasn't really thought I ever explored. Either way you put it I'm not getting too far on a tank because it goes fast. Trip of 560 miles from Madison, WI to my father's home in Ohio, I fill up twice because the yellow fuel light is scary.

[tom4bren]

Yah. The adjusted figures are prolly 11-12 rather than 10-11 ... not a huge difference. My 33's cause about a 10% error on the ODO.

Now here's the scarey part: you get about the same mpg as I do in the 7T RV (unless I'm 'toad-ing' the VX).

[Otwobme]

185K, lifted with 35's and i get between 14-16 MPG and im not a Conservative driver as you can tell... she is a proton you just cant tell in the pic.

[DeanMan]

Currently at 312k... just replaced my first timing belt at about 299k! I think the only other major thing I've had repaired was a fuel injector. Woohoo!
