Default Re: GAS MPG

On our latest trip, we drove 60MPH all the way out to Colorado. The highest MPG was 23. The others I calculated were between 21-23 depending on the terrain and amount of stop/go off the interstate. So at 55-60MPH, I can now say that our H3 has beaten the EPA ratings.

However, raising the speed even 5MPH drops the mileage considerably.

By contrast, the H2 got about 11-12 MPG with a 12 foot box trailer. So you can see what driving slower really does. Moving up to 65MPH, the mileage drops to like 8-9.

Default Re: GAS MPG

From the EPA Website:
Your vehicle's fuel economy will almost certainly vary from EPA's fuel economy rating.

Fuel economy is not a fixed number, it varies based on

Where you drive
How your drive
Many other factors
The EPA ratings estimate the MPG a "typical" driver should get under "typical" city and highway conditions. However, most drivers and driving environments aren't typical, and the factors that affect fuel economy can vary significantly:

Driver Behavior & Driving Conditions
Vehicle Condition & Maintenance
Variations in Fuels
Inherent Variations in Vehicles
Engine Break-In
So, the EPA rating is a useful tool for comparing vehicles when car buying, but it may not accurately predict the average MPG you will get.
