But the VX final drive at 3.250 is a lot taller than the seventh gen LX with the 4.011 final drive.

Bs25942: you fuel up at different stations alot of the time... your numbers, tank to individual tank, would be easier read for gains if you filled at the same pump using the slow fill, stop at first click method. Any interest in that?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
