Hey OG, Here is an example of what I was saying above. The last week it has been between 14 and 47 degrees with wind and rain (even a little snow). I was struggling to get between 66 to 70MPG on my commute in the white 94VX. Today it finally turned out clear and got up to 56 degrees. I got 81MPG on my trip home this afternoon.
The VX is supposed to have around 90 foot lbs of torque, but I think when we are in lean burn we are only getting maybe 60 or so. This means any type of "drag", be it wind, rain, or thick cold air has a huge negative impact on the car's performance.
