NICE GAS MILEAGE

[nychot]

with 4 gallons left in the tank, i just did 325 miles -- nyc driving, country and freeway. i think thats pretty good for an 07 lux with auto and the ac going more now that its summer. i have about 3500 miles on it. i also really love the amazingly tight turning circle. no problems yet so i consider it a gr8 vehicle.:)

Wow great mileage. It happens sometimes with the H3. Lately my commute has been mostly city in heavy traffic, mpg 13-14.

hummm...., interesting, it seems that i am now getting about 10 mpg. oh well...

15 mpg on my last tank, almost all city driving. Still upwards of 16-17 on the highway (with a loaded up roof rack). at 36k, I'm happy with that...

I am loosing mpg with the extreme heat here lately. I also notice the 3.7 heats up a little faster with the temp gauge going to near H in long idel.:confused:

Is that a sign of a problem (temp gauge going near H), sound like trouble...

does not seem to be problem. I mean it takes effort to get it close to H

Farg it.. I get about 15 MPG. I go 9 miles one way to work. 1/2 city the other 1/2 is Xpress way @70 mph.

I've run the gas needle to the right edge of the little red hash mark on the gauge at the bottom. But I've always been chicken and a scar-dy cat when it comes to going to the end of the red.

:jump:



How far in the red have you gone... or have you gone below red..:eek:

Reminds me of Crammer in Sienfield on the test drive with the car salesman..:D

well the labeling on the truck sais H3 but the dealer migth have ripped me off and sold me an H2 secretly. damn bastards.:giggling:

a tank or two after putting 35s on and doing pcm for less thing, i had 13 mpg. now on this last tank i got 19.876 gallons on 204 miles. 10.2636 mpg. but you gota remember that i have 60 percent congested city driving, and 40 percent highway which is even worse, most of the time its stop and go 30 miles at no more than 10-15 mph.

maybe this one was just a bad tank, hehe.

haha the first thing i thought of when i read your post was that seinfeld episode. i have had the red covered by the needle, and a little red peaking over the top, but have never cleared the red, i would go crazy if that was to happen, would be looking for gas stations like a crack addict lookin for a fix.

I noticed my temp getting close to H also. called my service guy and he said with the temps in the 100's and running a/c its considered normal operating range. he said nothing to worry about. only time to worry is if it hits the red.

I had a Jeep Cheroke that did that. I ran it hard for about 200 miles at high speed in the Mojave desert in the summer, temp needle almost touched red the entire time, and no ill effects.
