Well I know this little vx is plenty capable in stock form to get at least 50 mpg especially the way I drive it. I still am hesitant to spend any money on instramentatoin until I can prove this car worthy to keep considering I have a crx that averages 38 mpg as is. I bought this car not knowing it was a lemon until I had already was forced to sink $1000 into just to get it into a position that I could possibly drive it or sell it if I had to. I have to be missing something if I can't get into the 50's. I am leaning towards leaking or clogged injectors or I just totally suck at driving in lean burn mode. Any advise for staying in lean burn? I know the hx civics had some tricks dealing with higher rpms around 2000 or 2500 or something. I just don't know the tricks of this vx yet I guess. It runs great though otherwise. Very healthy and reliable. I drive it 120 miles per day and recently drove it on a 750 mile round trip without issue. I just can't get more than my current best 44 mpg
