When traveling, 90%+ on Interstates @ 70-75 I get from 12.8-13.1 with the air on 100% of the time. Around town where 75%+ is stop & go I get an average of 11.2. My overall average is 11.8 mpg. I also have a Yukon Denali XL & while it averages 1.5 mpg better in every situation, the H2 averages 20-25 more smiles per gallon, so I drive the H2 exclusively, LOL. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Interesting combo. Curiously, I have the same thing, both white. Do you think the Denali has much better throttle response than the H2?

between 10 and 11mpg stock. the more modifications you do, the worse it gets. however, you look cool in it and chicks dig it, the only problem is that Chevron loves it too! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Three big problems with this response. Big Gaydy gets between 10 and 11 mpg, stock. I get 11.3 non-stock. Further, Big Faggy says the more mods you do, the worse mpg gets. Again, Little Bumpy has it wrong. I've avg'ed 11.3 and have more engine mods than most anyone you'll ever come across. Recently I avg'ed 13.8 on a 6 hour trip up into the mountains to go wheeling.

Lastly, Big **** says Chicks dig it. Well, I guess we don't need to go down that well traveled tunnel-o-****. But he got lucky and is right. Gals love it. And according to gay daddy, so do boys.

I average 12.1 @ 38K miles. Mix of highway and lots of traffic jams with the A/C blasting. The mileage isn't that bad for a truck anyway, even the Honda Ridgeline all wheel drive truck only gets 17 mpg with a V6. The H2 is made to run on regular gas and lots of it with that 32 gallon tank. It only hurts when the price jumps up. The most I have ever put in it was $65!

If it don't go chrome it!

Engine Mods do not hurt the gas milage.
I have done eveything except go inside the engine and I average 13 combined give a little each way. Now if I went around sticking My foot in it and running WOT then yes milage goes down more but, I do put My foot in it allot so that is included in average. I have not run it yet with supercharger as I'm making allot of outside and inside mods since I had it in My shop to add SC anyway. I will have it out and drive it some before I take it back to My shop to continue with more mods. I'm quite sure My MPG will go down at first until I get the WOW factor over with trying the SC out. I will be going to a 2.9 pulley and HP Tuning soon and do not know what it will do to milage but, honestly I do not care or I would not have bought the H2 to begin with and would not be adding all the performance mods. IN all honesty if You worry about milage a person does not need one. It is sort of like wanting to own a top end Jag or Ferarri and asking what is a tune up going to cost. Well they will run around $1000 give or take some. Oil changes on them are in the $200 to $300 range. So not trying to sound eletist which I'm not just a regular old country boy just trying to be practical about the topic. If You want a H2 just do it and do not care about MPG or repairs. If that is what will determine Your decision honestly do not buy a H2. You will be unhappy until You get out and drive it for a while and see how fun it is to drive.
Well just My experience to share so that is the best advice I can give is from practical eveyday use and adding the mods and watching what happened when mods were added.

I have probably got the second most modified engine next to Ken but, will catch him soon. We are planning some LS1 heads and cam that some F-bodies are running along with some other goodies. I have a LS1 expert in My shop so We are looking into the mods and planning when to do them. Not for racing but, for use when needed, well for some racing just a little. Will not allow the mighty H2 to be out run if I can help it at all. Plus, it is a WOW factor in shows and I found You get big points for having these mods to the H2 and get big points. Plus I just like fast off and on so the further engine mods will meet 2 goals. Fun and show points. It will be driven less but, I want to build a lifted rig to drive daily so it all gives Me an excuse to blow a bunch more money on my H2 addiction. You will become addicted if you get one.

Not much, for example 2003 530i 11.5K miles on it... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Depending on how long you have had it to get to 11.5K miles, the mpg on the H2 really shouldn't be an issue. What I mean is, it's an '03 but when did you buy it? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

leased new in 2002, have 5 payments left, hence why I'm looking into a Hummer...
