Default Re: New H3 MPG Ratings

well, i am sure that along with the 6 speed, the street tires and a way more aerodynamic profile really make the mileage better in that vehicle.

when i changed from 31 * 10.5 AT's to 33 * 12.5 MT's in a 95 bronco with a 302, my mileage went from 15 to about 11. That is a ~30% reduction in fuel economy just from a different tire footprint!

once the 33's wear out on my h3 i will go with 35*12.5 bfg AT's, as the MT's are typically louder and just kill the fuel economy.
