Fuel economy and tyre pressures


Dracoro

Recommended Posts

For those with 2.0L VX engines. What mpg do you typically get and what tyre pressures are suitable?

IIRC, I'm on 215 x 16 and the original owner said 25psi (I think!;). Does this sound about right?

Nope. I'd start off with around 20psi, and experiment.

My injected Vx does about 25-30mpg round town, close to 40 on a run, dropping to around 10-12 on a track day........

Sounds about right. Could get from my house to Paul Eddens on the 1 gallon fuel tank and thats 37 miles. Now with the long range 2 gallon tank I can get home also !

Oh and the tyre pressures are 18 front and 17 rear.

Carbs or fuel injection?You will need to compare like for like before making judgement....

My carbed VX on a steady motorway run will see low 30's, and consumption goes downhill from there according to the level of noise desired :D
