Default Re: first tank of gas on '07 h3 with auto

I wouldn't worry too much about your first tank of gas. It isn't even broken in yet. I bet you are doing lots of little test rides for your friends or trips to the store just for fun.

Your getting about 14 mpg.

The best mileage you wil get will be on a long hwy trip below 70mph and without stops and starts.


From an earlier trip this year.....

I got 15 MPG on a 215 mile run!

Not bad at all since we went from Mojave CA and on thru Last Chance Canyon and Golar Gulch (again).
We spent 6 hrs on the dirt roads 4x4 and much in low range and with lots of stops, rocks etc. I gassed up at home and still had 8 gallons in the tank!

I can dig it!
