all you guys getting less than 10 on the highway need to let off the emergency brake......i get better than that in the city and i dont drive 40 everywhere, or even anywhere.....as you can see from her post less than a tank.....the rest of all need to get your rigs checked....

Numbers don't lie. On the highway, I usually run 75-80 and will average roughly 8.6-8.9

38's with 4.56 gears. Supercharger doesn't help gas mileage.

In town, I usually get 9.5-9.9 with my usual heavy foot. If I drive like a little ol' lady, I could get 11-12 mpg but then I'd have little ol' ladies in wheelchairs passing me.

Tis okay, I didn't buy it for gas mileage....

She didn't say less than a tank she said she put a "little over $100.00 in gas"
That's quite a bit more than 1 tank, although now I see how you get 15 MPG :notallthere::fdance::D

Before the weather got cold I was around 12MPH combined (I dont see much of a difference between around town and highway unless Im doing 65MPH or less and then it may jump into the 13's). Since it got cold its down into the high 11's (11.7-11.8) but it sits idle more for warming up.

dam dude...at least look at what you write before you hit the submitt button....100 divided by 30 is 3.33 a gallon....also did you read the part that said "wasn't empty when we got there, wasn't empty when we left....sounds like it was close to a tank...but other than that, good job:excited:

Well you have made it pretty clear, I guess you do get 15 MPG :perfect10s: Good for you! But didn't someone from Tampa say, in this thread, that gas in Tampa was less than $3.00 a gal ? If so your math is off by at least 10%
Either way I find it very hard to beleive that you or anyone else get anything even close to 15 MPG in an H2.
You can claim it but I simply don't beleive it. My freind gets 13 real world MPG in his Durango so IMO getting 15 MPG in a HUMMER is impossible unless of course you installed The Tornado :jump:

The Tornado increased my fuel economy while boosting my engine's power. Thanks Tornado! :giggling: :dancingbanana:

You can keep the Tornado I just picked me up the new and improved Vortex Valve :excited:

It's a little more pricey than the Tornado but worth every stinking dollar I save! :clapping:

Infra-red thermal image no. 1 before the Vortex Valve? installation has an average oil temperature of 140.35? and water temperature of 105.64?.

Infra-red thermal image no. 2 after the Vortex Valve? installation has an average oil temperature of 149.97? and water temperature of 107.44?





And that my freinds is what you call "Proof Positive" :dancingbanana: :D

Re: Question on mpg
 
We're back and while I have no clue what the mpg is, nor do I mind either way....here's what we used in gas charges. We put in a total of $268 with gas running anywhere from $2.97 to $3.49 in one place. We drove almost 800miles total and when we started had half a tank and now that we're home we have half a tank. I honestly can't complain. I also didn't get it for good fuel economy. It drove great and the only thing that happened was that we picked up a bolt in a tire somewhere on the way back but it's not leaking so we'll take it in Monday to have it removed and all. Seems no one would touch it in Live Oak cause it had after market tires and rims. Haven't heard that one here locally but whatever. Thanks for all the helpful information. :)
