The 2nd gen xBs are rated 22 city and 28 highway.

My mods are: Upper grill block, Sheet aluminum wheel discs, Strup exhaust and Lightweight crank and water pump pulleys.

Whats up bud, I would not hold much weight to what is said or claimed on Scionlife. While a very helpful site as far material for Scion, not many if any are FE misers like the guys here. I too am an xB owner, 1st gen, and am about to buy the new RS 6.0 xB. So good luck to ya and stick to this site if you want true advice on how to squeeze the best mileage out of the B.
