Question Anyone Swap VX Trans Into an HX?

Hey guys,

Can anyone here tell me the difference in FE from purely an HX to VX trans swap? My SI to HX trans swap netted me a 4-6 MPG improvement! Prior owner had an SI trans in there when I purchased it, but gave me the HX trans as well. Here was my fuel log from before/after:



I've heard numbers in the high 40's to low 50's just from swapping in a VX trans. Just looking for people who have actually done this swap.

Thanks!
