Re: What can be done to better the MPG for the H3?
 

i just filled up on saturday, got like 247 miles on the tank, figured out the mileage at 13.8mpg, however my fillup only cost 55 bucks. are you guys using 89 or 92? i just use the straight up **** gas from arco cuz its all the same :D

Re: What can be done to better the MPG for the H3?
 

Last couple tanks have been 14.5 mpg (very good considering I've been too lazy to take my camping gear off the roof rack). Tanks before that were around 15-16 mpg. Not bad if you ask me.

I imagine once I black out the whole vehicle, I'll end up with a couple more mpg. One other gas-saving technique is to black out the whole vehicle. By having full dark colors (instead of chrome), the vehicle absorbs more heat. A hotter-running vehicle actually get better gas mileage because the fuel temperatures are higher, resulting in more combustion, which means more better gas mileage. All those blingers don't realize that studies show chrome causes worst gas mileage :rolleyes:

Yup, I agree!!!

Re: What can be done to better the MPG for the H3?
 

Chrome increases freeway/high speed gas mileage due to improved aerodynamics (slick), right....:)

park it ;) :p

We get roughly the same "stated" gas mileage as a Durango or Trailblazer,
but we look much more cooler :cool:

I was thinking about this today. At the bar. Drinking.

Here's another idea to help imrpove the gsa milaege.

First, reroute your heating/AC ducts outside the cab. Then, run them to the air intake for the airbox.

When driving, turn the AC on high. It will act as a superduper cold air intake. Also, since you are using the fan from the HVAC, it will act as a RAM AIR INTAKE. This is like a cheap supercharger. The extra power from the super cold ram air intake will boost HP, reducing the amount of effort required to move the truck. As long as you are careful on the throttle, this extra power will result in more gas mileage (less power required to move as fast). Isn't math fun????:D

wow... didn't realize an innocent question would turn into 'eff u dumb ass' thread. I know hummers aren't known for their gas mileage... i was just wondering if there were any mods (being minor such as an intake etc...) that would somewhat improve the mpg on the h3 ...
talk about jack-asses here... sorry that i'm not a know it all like the rest of you ...
then "keep your stupid questions to yourself then..." it seemed like a legitamate question to me...

Re: What can be done to better the MPG for the H3?
 

I agree...it was a reasonable question. I know I am new here, but I have been around other discussion boards for a long, long time. In fact, I moderate a cell phone users discussion board.

I may get flamed also, but to reiterate, I think it was a reasonable question/posting.

Re: What can be done to better the MPG for the H3?
 

don't be so sensitive:rolleyes:

Do you know what the search feature is for? It takes almost no time to search this forum, using basic search criteria. Realistically, I'm looking for ways to improve my gas mileage too (any bit helps), but I'm more likely to SEARCH then ask a dumbass question on a HUMMER forum about how to improve my gas mileage as my first post. What were you expecting, get a prius (and stop using your DRLs, they are ruining the environment!)...:D

Re: What can be done to better the MPG for the H3?
 

feel free to ask your fellow cell phone forum people how to get better gas mileage out of a hummer...

Re: What can be done to better the MPG for the H3?
 

eff u dumb ass :D

j/k

Here's one method...

Re: What can be done to better the MPG for the H3?
 

Bwu ha ha ha ha ha!!!! :D :D

Re: What can be done to better the MPG for the H3?
 

:confused:

I will do that. I am certain they will have better answers than were posted in THIS thread....On the flip side, maybe you can answer a cell phone question for me sometime....:rolleyes:

Re: What can be done to better the MPG for the H3?
 

sure, what's your question? I don't know squat about cell phone except they cause brain cancer:D ;)

ok, this is my official favorite bunny:D :D

You call us jack-asses and you expect us to be friendly! ;) :D

Re: What can be done to better the MPG for the H3?
 

And you were expecting something useful on this forum...????:)
