Real life gas mileage?

[Vark]

I'm just tired how everyone is bashing gas mileage of a Hummer. I do not own one yet (ready to buy a used '08, looking at options), but my wife's '05 Toyota Sequoia gets 11-12 MPG in a suburban/city driving, so it can't be much worse than that, right?

I have an 08 with 35" toyo open country mt tires on it and I average around 11.5 mpg, but with the stock tires I got closer to 13 mpg. Go for the 08! I had an 05 h2 before and loved it, but the 08 has tons of power and the interior is awesome! Good luck!

Dont let other people influence you with the negative feedback. Get what YOU want. I get around 10-11 but again I am running a lift and 37" tires. Before I had the lift I put the K&N intake and power programmer and averaged about 13-14.

Oh, I would have been looking to get '08 H2 even if it was 7 MPG

I've had H2s for over six years now and of course mileage is going to depend on how you drive, but my '03 averaged in the 11s with aggressive tires, and my fairly stock '06 SUT gets in the high 11s in the city and 12 to mid 13s on the highway - over 70 mph my mileage falls back to the 11s on the highway. These figures include around 75,000 miles of driving in our two H2s. Magazine reports and those on this site, seem to indicate the '08 and '09 with the 6 speed get about 14% better mpg.

When mine was new, I averaged 10 MPG running 80 on the interstate. Now, with 25K on her, I'm up to 13. It's still averaging 10 around town, but my air is always on!
