Does 1SB Adventure Pkg affect MPG?

[HummerHippy]

Hi all -
would like your input. I am looking at 2 - 5 speed H3s. ONe with advenbture pkg and one base model. I test drove aventure version. I understand it'll be slightly rougher ride on the road. But I am wondering about the gas milage. larger tire makes me think slightly better mpg, but a corser tread makes me thik slightly less mpg.
thanks

If you notice / look at a base or lux model window sticker the est mpg is 1 less on both city and highway for the adventures than base and lux!

not enough to make a diffrence in the look you get with the bigger tires and locking diferentional. the adv package is so much worth it in my book.you can get the lux and adv to geter then you have the besat of both . some of us put the 35 tires and lost a little mpg but dont care considering the look we got.

First, if you are worried about gas mileage, you shouldn't be looking at a Hummer! Second, does the few dollars a year difference in gas matter that much to make an inch of tire and tread pattern a deciding factor?

Get both!

thanks!:)
kjs - I think mph is different between 4 speed and 5 speed trans, not option pkg.
Currently drive an infiniti QX4 (pathfinder). Have had it for 4 years. it gets 15/19mph. So not too worried about mph. But in that time, have I donr much off roading? No. I love the look of the advent pkg, but wonder if I would use it much. And if not, I wondered would I save a little gas by getting the less agressive 33" tire. I agree. The look it great! And from what I hear. non advent pkg H3s do just fine for anything that I would probably do.
although, if I had adventure pkg, just think what trouble I could get into! :eek: :D
Still trying to decide. Thanks for the input!

You might want to consider resale value as well.....for the cheap aditional cost of the adventure package for what you get over the base. It will be well worth it in the long run.

I wish I would have gotten the Adventure package.

It's well worth the money. For what I spent on upgraded
tires, that would have covered the package.

But when we ordered it, I hadn't thought about the
places its now been :)

MPG what's that? ;)
