better gas mileage?

[HummerMann]

The new ones with the 6 speed definitely do better than my '06. With the really cold weather we've had and the snow, my lie-o-meter says 11.1 mpg. Yes, it burns a lot of gas but it's comfortable as heck and gets me through all kinds of weather and the mud at construction sites. Even on the highway on long trips I've never gotten over 12.5, but then again, I have a heavy foot.

I just got back from the 24 hours of Daytona. Driving down doing 80, got 11. Coming back up the coast Highway, doing 65, got 15.1

Best I have ever done was 14.4 on a road trip to Florida last summer, I drove the whole tank and averaged around 75mph (my wife gets horrible gas mileage when she drives.... leadfoot and not steady with the throttle). Im sure if you took a highway trip and kept it around 60-65 you could see 15-16mpg but you will get your ass run off the road at those speeds on just about every highway in the U.S....... In the summer with easy mixed driving I can get 12+ but for the most part Im in the 11's (In the really cold weather with warmups Im barely over 10). Firgure an extra 1-2mpg's with the 08 up H2's with the 6 speed trans. The H2 is very heavy, is on a 3/4 ton chassis and is shaped like a brick so there is not much to do other than drive downhill if your looking for good mileage.

Sorry that isnt the exact answer you were looking for but its the cold hard facts

Come to Oreeeegon if you want to drive 55 with no worries!

I drive 90% very short non highway trips and never see above 9 mpg.

I?ve got an 08 Tuned and I can average 17- -18 on flat highway going 60-65, over 70 its drops to 15-16 but i have multiple times gone the speed limit (very occasionally) and hit respectable gas mileage. After a week in an H2 or H3, you won?t give a crap. I love my Hummer so much we have three ( x1 H2 x2 H3 ones a alpha) and love all of them. Won?t drive anything else as daily driver. Id say if 1 or 2 MPG is a big deal to your family, pick up an 08-09, but you?ll pay a little more. So the money you?d save buying an earlier year model you?ll put towards that 1-2mpg loss. Either way just buy it.
