VX on MPG in City?? Honest answer please

[SW_VX gal]

Ok, I am really ready to buy myself my VehiCROSS much sooner than later,
and now even resorting to travel a bit of distance if necessary to get myself "just the right one".

I looked at a few over the weeknd, which were not completely close by, but I have to start somewhere. I have found Vx's on line, that I could see myself buying if the local ones here don't work out in my favor.

So, my question is:

HONESTLY, How is the MPG on these babies???

This is my (biggest) concern next to parts, warranty etc.

I live in the Los Angeles County area, and will be using this car to travel to and from my clients appointments, to the beach of course, and plain old crappy stop and go traffic in the city.


I am really needing some good input to make this decision final.

Back to trucktrader, autotrader and ebay online.

VX owners in Los Angeles and cities such as LA., your input is most definitely needed..

I am needing to get my choice made soon, so I can take my new ride up North to my friends new home in Napa for her houeswarming party.
All eyes on me please...LOL

Thank you,

im doing about 17mpg combined in norcal...

My last tank of gas was 15.5mpg. That's with a heavy foot and a supercharger. I'd have to assume that something either wasn't stock, or something was broken/worn out if you got worse gas mileage than that. My high is 22mpg on the highway (again, moving fairly fast).

12 city.

Supercharged, cat back, etc.

At least 1 pedal fully down 100% of the time.

I get from 13 to 15 depending if people driving around me are driving like jackasses.

I wouldnt get a VX if you are really in need of an auto that gets good mileage. Depending if you are a lead foot or not, it can go from 12 to 15 in stop-and-go traffic. Some get as much as 18 on the highway. If you are going to be driving a lot be prepared for the VX's tight suspension. For me, I love the nimble handling of it plus the looks.... there is nothin' like it.

There are lots of L.A. VXer's around including a few female owners. A few of us got together just this week and invited Creeg who is also looking for a VX to join us. He got the royal "VX treatment" by Cascabel, LisaK and I. When we left him he had that "I really want a VX" smile on his face.

Thank you for all the great replies

I really appreciate the honesty, and Anita, I wish I had caught up
with you gals, dang.

You and I need to chat really soon, and I am going to go check out and see your pics after this post.

I am so glad to hear there a few VX'ers from L.A. (guys and gals) and
Norcal, as this info is my first step to confirm I am ready to take the
plunge.


I knew and know the gas mileage was going to be the "issue" for me to decide on, but I really feel this is the car I must take to Mammoth for those ski trips and those drives up and down the coast, of course, after shmooozing it up with the clients during the week.

OK...I am definitely feeling the good vibes on my choice.

Hooray for your replies, and I can't wait to catch up with you locals.

Off to read the forums, learn about this car inside and out so the questions may keep flying until I am all tuckered out with informaiton.

Back soon!
