What's your driving like? Under 40 mpg in a VX indicates a serious problem if you stay under 70 mph. Sounds like a vacuum leak to me.

My driving is approximately 90% of in town driving with the occasional run on the expressway. I shift at around 1500rpm, and coast whenever I can. In spite of all the low mpg, I'm happy to say that I'm not getting a check engine light, oil leaks or trouble with the cooling system. I think I will follow up with that advice.
