2005 H2 SUV, 87 octane. I do moderate accelerations and try to time braking to coast through the next green light (in other words FEATHER FOOT), and I can get about 14-15 MPG mixed highway, some city. In town though, I'm lucky to get above 12-13 MPG.

'05 SUT, averaging just under 12mpg with an even mix of "spirited" town driving and 75-85mph highway driving.

I got 27 mpg on my Moab trip.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
Next time someone asks you about your mpg I think you're going to be getting around 25-ish. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I get 38 mpg but only because of this. It cuts down on drag by 500%. I drive at an average speed of 85 in the city and 120+ on the open road.

So does that mean if I fabricate a wing for my SUT AND roll down the back window I can maybe get better MPG than a Prius?

you might have some luck putting a type-r sticker like the kids with a ricer plus they add some hp. some say 5hp per type-r sticker http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I use 87 oct. (shell) and am getting 13 to 14 mpg. I drive it hard and I drive it normal doesn't seem to matter, though for one week every month I only get about 10 mpg...anger issues I guess! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

11.3 no matter WHAT I do. With or without stock tires, with or without lift. And yes, I have reset the fuel calculator. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

How did your rig do going up to the Eisenhower Tunnel? Curious as to how much the S/C helped.
