VX: Fitted with the same manual transmission as the USDM CX, the VX was identical to the base model CX except that it gained improved fuel efficiency through a 92hp 1.5 L (d15z1)VTEC-Eengine yielding 48/55 mpg (city/hwy) [revised to 2008 EPA rating: 39/49 mpg city/hwy[5]] or 44/51 mpg (city/hwy) [revised to 2008 EPA rating: 36/46 mpg city/hwy[6]]. In Canada, it was rated by Transport Canada fuel consumption estimate: 4.7L/100km city and 4.3L/100km hwy.[7]Other added features were an 8K tachometer with redline at 6K RPM, lightweight 13-inch (330mm) aluminum alloy wheels, as well as additional front & rear under-body trim additions to improve aerodynamic flow. The VX was also equipped with an aluminum alternator bracket, an aluminum front driver's side engine mount, and a lightweight crank pulley. In addition, the instrument cluster of the CX and VX featured a shift indicator light that would notify the driver when to shift upwards in order to achieve optimum mileage. To this day, the CX & VX models are lauded as one of the only gasoline-powered cars that rival thefuel economyof today's hybrids and diesels. In the March 2010 issue ofCar & Driverfor example, it mentions its long-term test car, a 2009 VW TDI Jetta with 6-speeddual-clutchauto transmission, got worse fuel mileage (38 mpg) than their 1992 Honda Civic VX test car (which got 41 mpg) and 2000 Honda Insight hybrid (48 mpg)
