I can tell you that the vx will do about 45mpg overall in the winter and 55-63mpg in the summer. This will vary a little depending on the kind of driving, but it loves it around 35-55mph. On the flats you'll be pressed to get it above 65 (in lean burn) unless there is a slight downhill or tail wind. Usually on the generally flat stuff I will be at 60-65 (lean burn). It'll go faster, but you'll get out of lean burn (instantly down to 30mpg) in order to get it to go faster unless you're going downhill or have a tailwind. At 60-65mph you'll get right about 50mpg. This is a 100% stock vx from 92, driving normal (no PnG), no aero mods etc... I have been driving mine for 8 years and it hasn't wavered from these numbers one bit.
I love the vx. If you have an opportunity to get one I would choose one. They are cheap, easy to work on, not much ever goes wrong (in my 8 years of ownership), there are TONs of parts available off of other hondas. Mine has 300k on it and still runs well. I'm sure if it had a rebuilt engine, I would probably see a slight increase in power/mpg but I wouldn't expect much honestly.
