so on the topic of white xDs, lets see some pictures of white xDs with black out head lights and LED taillights. I think those would look sweet on the xD but so far, no good photos of these on the site.

I usually get 37mpg out of my XD. I am certainly not an agressive driver but I don't drive granny style either. I travel 30+ to work on 2 lanes 55 mph highway with rolling hills. I am usually driving 58-60 mph.

katchkillah

wow, that's nice i barely hitting 30 mpg.

lostxD

yeah its pretty hard getting mid-high 30's in the xD...even in granny style

Well it also hinges on the traffic you have to deal with, condition of the roads, tire pressure and of course the speed of acceleration along with how fast you go. I can get to oh.. maybe 32mpg if I take it easy, but I don't like to. 30mpg is good enough.

This may be true, but its all about the journey ahead in getting into the high 30's, consistantly, which I think is possible w/ the xD.

Some things to do to achieve this:
1. buy a Scanguage 2 , track your progress, its a great tool
2. go with 195/55 or 195/60 15" tires/wheels , or a 195/45 16" wheel. Along the way, get a nice lighter weight alloy for lower rotational mass. I recommend not going larger then 16" if you want to keep good MPG. When you go 17"+ = 1. heavier wheel/tire combo- usually by at least 6 pounds per wheel, plus the cost of the 17" wheels are more $$, and replacement of 17"+ tires will be $20+ more money per tire then a good 15"+16" tire.
3. stay away from after market exhausts/ CAI's, headers, etc.... all this stuff ROBS gas milage. If anything , maybe get a drop in TRD or K&N air filter, and do a slight mod there, but you want to be sucking HOT air out of your engine compartment (as it results in a fuller/ cleaner burn of the fuel , air/fuel mixture.

... etc. ... etc. Check out the other forums as well, there is a wealth of info. on tricks to increase your MPG, on the xA and xB1 site, we both share the same 1.5L vvt-i engine (Echo platform):

There are other links, not so sure in the tC section, since they are more into hp/torque, then mpg... however there have been some owners who have converted from tC to xB1, etc.
