By operating the car at 65 mph,your asking it to perform in an environment that it was not optimized for.
You may want to follow basjoo's lead with the aero.You'll get your lean-burn for sure!
That would make a lot of sense. I'll have to sift through the garage on the forum and send some private messages to stock vx owners and see if they can provide any lean burn at 65mph info for me.

Of course aerocivic mods would help a ton, but I'm not sure i'm ready for all the laughs.
