welcome,

I'm not a VX driver but have a DX and am knocking on the door of 55mpg with it.
have you read the 100+ hypermiling tips?

City driving I suspect makes it very hard to keep the thing in lean burn. Breaking early and coasting to give the light time to turn green may help in your city driving.

Have you checked your odometer/speedometer against a GPS (distance) or distance of a known route? If not you may already be much closer.

instantaneous fuel consumption readouts are nice MPGuino is not hard to install.
