How low can you go....

[PackerFever]

I hit 395 miles the other day and probably could have gone further....but I chickened out. Turns out I put in 21.6 gallons at that fill.

Does the H3 have a 22 or 23 gallon tank?

oh yea, I have 26K miles on it adn the mileage definetly got better after about 8000 miles and continues to improve.

23 gal I believe.

Last night: 399.5 miles when indicator came on. Went 5 miles to the gas station and filled up (21.1 gals). I know I can do better.

Check the old posts about MPG. There is a charactor there who claims over 20MPH Average.

I think its all downhill though...

I don't have a 3, but traveling to Moab in the black truck the fuel light came on somewhere in never-neverland Kansas (Damn KS). I couldn't find a gas station out there at all. Then the "Mileage To Go" meter stopped giving me a range to empty and just said "Low".

Holy crap!!! In the middle of freaking nowhere without a jerrycan!

I was on the phone with Adam and sweating bullets!

FINALLY, a station! I filled up 29.5 gallons in a 32 gallon tank getting under 12mpg! Figuring the last 1.5-2 gallons are unusable, well, I was pretty close to a problem.

BTW, that truck used premium fuel at over $3 a gallon at the time! 4,200 miles Buddy... 4,200 miles...

What of gas do you guys use?

I get around 290 for 20 gals.

I agree...I have no idea how you guys all get such great gas mileage (relatively speaking) and I get such ****ty mileage.

The MOST I have ever gotten is maybe 16 and I average around 12 or 13. Could the reason be is that I live and drive in Southern California?????

and your point is

I think we are seeing the folks with the 5-speed tranny getting the good mileage here.
I get very close to 18 mpg pulling a flatbed trailer with two ATV's. I also have a rooftop hardshell cargo box for added resistance. I keep it at 70 mph or less. I run premium gas and Mobil 1 oil.

Come on 5-speeds lets toot our own horns! (not to mention the crawl ratio) oops did I say that out loud?

I have about 7500 miles on my 3 now and I average 19.5 mpg. I drive 105 miles per day round trip to/from work. Two lane higways mostly. Never have a chance to go over 60 mph.

[HCUBE]

I was getting around 19 mpg with stock tires. Now that I jumped to 35s I get 15/16 mpg, around 320 miles on a tank. Not a huge hit in mpg, but I really don't care because i love the look and the compliments I get on the 35s. Just curious, what size tires is everyone running when they post their mpg.

[Matt19]

when u guys test your mileage, do you wait until the low fuel light comes on? or when it just hits "e"?
