Get an MPGuino, about $50. Works on VX and HX and just about any car with fuel injection and a modern type VSS. Read about it in the Instrumentation forum - see the MPGuino subforum there.

Good luck with the VX. Hmmm. Correct weight thin oil in engine and tranny? Put tires up to sidewall max pressure. Pop off the AC belt, see if compressor is starting to freeze up (spin pulley by hand to test). Happened to me but it made the belt squeal, that's how I discovered it.

Your new tires will need some time to break in. Hopefully they have a nice smooth highway tread.
