Another Honda driver
 

Hi all. I found the site last night, & stayed up too late reading.
I'm on my 4th Honda.
The 1st one was a new 89 CRX-HF. 50 US MPG while being driven in Chicago traffic.
2nd was a used 90 that eventually paid for itself by harvesting deer. The insurance agent vowed to total it if I got another one. Mid 40's on the MPG's.
Body rust was a bigger problem than suicidal deer ever were.
3rd was a used 96 Del Sol S. I felt like I was in a coffin, but my wife loved it. Sold it to her sister, who loves it too. 30's on the MPG's if I remember right.
Number 4 is a used 94 VX. 43.5 US MPG for 2007. I'd like to boost that over 50, so I'm open to suggestions. May was 47 US MPG, so driving a bit slower has definitely helped.

Perhaps your o2 sensor has gotten a little lazy? Expensive, but yeah. Trying hooking up a DMM to see if you are getting lean-burn.

Air up the tires and buy a supermid!

Welcome to the site!

Hey, welcome.

There are others here who know the VX better, who will probably offer all kinds of advice. (You've come to the right place for a growing community of fuel economy minded VX owners.)

But I'd say a key item for squeezing max mileage from the VX, assuming it's in good mechanical shape, is a lean burn monitor. That's where the VX returns monster results as you know...

did you get the hf or the vx for fe or did you just happen to get them. those 2 are very good for fe and very popular around here

nice. i am envious of the vx.

Yah, nice car for hypermiling! Welcome to the site!

Think link in my signature under my FE display will direct you to a bunch of useful info regard the VX. Welcome to the site, always nice to see another VX saved from the clutches of ricerdome!

Everyone but the Del Sol was for fe. I'm still wrestling with my aggressive driver instincts.

I put on a proper O2 sensor last Fall. I'll have to copy the info on the DMM & try it.

I checked the tires last night & the max on the sidewall is 35PSI. Honda lists the fronts at 35 & rear at 32. I can't do much more there.

I think a supermid will be installed before Fall.

Thanks! I stayed up too late again last night reading your links.

I saw a young guy this week with an old CRX-HF.
It was yellow & primer. Looked kind of like a short giraffe. When he turned, I heard the fart can he'd installed. What a shame.
