Default Re: better gas mileage?

Goddamn it, I wrote this big long response and accidently deleted it.

Anyway, bottom line, you won't find any way to get better than 12-14mpg in an H2. (at least an older one)

One way to convince your dad is this....

Figure an H2 averages 12mpg (good luck with that...lol) but comparing it to an average SUV such as a Yukon for instance, they'll get roughly 15mpg on average.

That's 3 mpg difference. Figure the average driver drives 15K miles per year. That's a difference of 750 bucks per year based at 3.00 per gallon (gas isn't quite that high but we're making a point here)

That's 62 bucks per month over what it would cost you extra to drive the H2.

That's 15 bucks per week to drive an H2 in fuel.

Split that between you and your dad and it costs you 7.50 per week extra.

Try that logic.!!
