Why do they always make Alaska so small on the maps anyway? Does it save bandwidth/paper/ink or something? :p :rolleyes: :D

Back to the topic. Next time you fill up just put the fuel nozzle in the window, put 30 gallons inside your truck. Then get back in and strike a match.

My case busted. :crying:

This has nothing to do with this thread.

I get 13MPG in the H2. I don't think I'll be switching to the H3 for better mileage anytime soon.

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

Back to the original thread... I was getting 330 per tank at a cost of $44.00 to fill up... I was happy with that. Now with the 33" MT's I am getting 260 miles per tank and still think that is good. As for the original poster of this thread, I consider myself lucky not to have fianacial concerns and gas MPG does not worry me, if it had I would have bought some generic SUV with better MPG.

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

I have the Factory 33's, and I get about 260 with around town driving. I figure that I am anywhere from 11 to 12 gallons a mile.
Hwy best was 18.6 gallons per mile.

I also heard that if you reprogram the Internal computer, you can get better fuel mileage. I have no idea if this is true, so if someine know's this for fact, and has done it, maybe they can be some help. Or at least explain how this can be true.

Or leave it in the garage...

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

hey, do what i do....i keep it in the garage and just go out there everyday and admire it. it costs me just my monthly lease payment, and gives me the right to be a member of this very exclusive, esteemed and gentlemanly club.

Wow I think we need a smoking jacket with a big H on the pocket.:clapping:

As a peace officer, I watched that video and I was queasy.

Their training method (typical of the time) was to strike and not physically engage (ie: wrestle) with suspects. My training included ground fighting techniques. Although you can get hurt more easily while ground fighting, there was enough guys there to pile on and subdue him. Damn. Sorry for the hijack.

AM I missing something ,why on earth did you buy a Hummer for mileage? The Rebel

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

I don't think you missed anything. He was just hoping someone could tell him, in a time when Corvettes with twice the horsepower get twice the MPG of a Hummer, if there was a way to squeak a couple extra MPG out of the inline 5.

From the looks of the response here, I'd say the answer is no.:twak:

I wonder how all these upstanding citizens would react if he found a low-cost way to get 10 MPG better than factory without affecting driveability? Just saying...

He won't.

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

It is what it is ... you're not going to squeeze any more mileage out of it. About the best thing you can do is routine maintenance, so you don't LOSE any mileage. Maybe switch to synthetic oil if you live in a cold climate?

The rest is academic ... a light foot, light load, proper tire pressure and no exterior accessories (roof rack, grille guard, mud tires, etc.)

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

It's a bit of a losing cause, isn't it? :(

If someone figures out how to overcome physics, gas mileage won't be an issue anymore... but weight and lack of aerodynamics are formidable opponants.
