Last Nite I happeded to calu my total average since mid -Jan when I got her...
Got around 3500 miles now so after 3 months getting overall around 15 mpg. That includes 1 trip to Orlando.
My right foot does weight a lot more then my left but i use cruise contro; as much as possible. Hate 2 think what it would be like if it wasn't level ground. Being able to use regular for the first time since 1998 is a plux...

37,270 miles on the H3 as of this morning. Still a tight machine with no rattles or annoying noises! My rear wheel flares are getting a little rock chipped (my only complaint), but I'm not a mud flaps kind of guy for the front wheels. Gas mileage for the last 7 fill ups has averaged 16.87, but this has been 75% highway travel with a heavy foot.

Damn I must have a heavy foot. Just filled up this morning and with 3,238 miles I got 12.98 on the last tank. I drive pretty much all city except 3 miles each way to work on the highway. Of course it doesn't help that I do between 70 and 80 for those 3 miles.

At 15,500 miles +, my last 5 tanks have averaged 14.7 - 15.9 mpg. City traffic combined with high speed freeway (70-85mph).

I was getting a consistant 16mpg commuting. My commute is 45 miles twisty mountain road down and up 4200' elevation change. I grannied it (easy gas pedal, keeping speed through the corners, losing speed up hills instead of keeping it constant, no passing etc.) last tank and got 18mpg. This is a great increase as it allows me one more day without filling up and saves $6 a tank. I've been calculating every tank. I'm sure that our H3 would get 20 on the freeway.

I'm consistently getting 20+ MPG out of my H3... Best tank that I have checked was 21.6 and the worst was around 17 during "break in". this is with mixed driving and speeds under 65 MPH.

Years ago when the VW bug was getting big in America people used to brag about the great gas milage they were getting. WELL..this one gentlemen I know of was getting AMAZING gas milage..60-70 even a 100 miles to the gallon...it seems his neighbor was slipping a gallon or two in his tank to see how tall the tales would get!

Damn that's impressive.
I was happy with my city driving coming out to 14.5 mpg the other day.

20mpg is impressive, driving under 65mph in California is impossible on the freeway.

Latest city driving, all stop and go to work and back, is 15.4 so it is going up to what it was last summer.
Can't complain, it is reated 16/20 or 16/19 and that is under ideal conditions.
Just remember all you in the west and other areas that use Ethanol fuel, your mileage will suffer a small amount.

It is my understanding that all fuel nation wide is to have Ethanol in it by the end of May.

For those of you who are running the Adventure package or are running 33's, please adjust by increasing your total mileage by 3.7%.
So, if you're ran 100 miles on the odometer, you've actually run 103.7 miles.
The 3.7 percent can make a difference in regards to your overall MPG. For example (in a perfect mathematical world using 11 gallons of fuel exactly):
Running 32's (base/lux)
200 Miles run
11 Gallons used
200/11 = 18.18 MPG
Running 33's (Adventure)
200 Miles run (on odometer)
207.4 miles actual (3.7% difference)
11 Gallons used
207.4/11 = 18.854 MPG
