H3 fuel efficiency and rising gas prices

[clydecpa]

Anybody care to share their updated gas mileage? Please give your driving mix (city/hwy) and style if you please.

Also, anyone out there waiting to buy, or waiting on your H3 order getting a bit of a lump in your throat right now, what with rising gas prices and the speculation of $3 a gallon possible in the near future? I'm trying not to get cold feet.

It's not a matter of money in terms of affording the H3, no problem there; rather it's a matter of economic responsibility and "feeling good" about my next purchase. I could afford an H2, but I'd still barf every time I fill it up (prolly every three days.) I like the improvement of the H3 vis a vis the H2, but I don't have to drive an SUV, I honestly just want to drive an H3 for the experience, the prestige, the "look" and all that. I may never take it off road, or rarely get to drive it in snow, but it feels good to know that I could. I could get some common sense satisfaction from driving a Passat TDI, but it wouldn't be as fun as the H3. Either one has about the same back seat for hauling around my kids (as a 2nd family vehicle). Are you feeling me?
