Couple of secrets...
DON'T drive it like a tank
DON'T be the first off the line
Coast a little
Loose weight in your right foot
USE cruise control as much as possible
Carry as little extra weight as possible (leave your anvil at home)
Make your tire pressure close to high normal
Don't fart when passengers are in the vehicle

In real life even after your first 500 to 5000 miles you will see 12 to 18 mpg depending where you live, your top speed, use of cruise control, HOW HEAVY YOUR RIGHT FOOT IS, etc
I have around 12000 miles on my yellow one and 3000 on the gray, both are averaging around 15mpg.
Thank goodness we can burn regular gasoline.

You can burn it, but I hope you're not using that in your truck. Actually, I never even see it being sold.

Ezra spots a VW Passat wagon with a bumper sticker reading "One less SUV":... You know, maybe you have the right to be this kind of sanctimonious shit if you put that sticker on your bike. But if you're driving a car? Any car? I think that qualifies as hypocrisy. Especially if your car gets between 18 and 23 mpg depending on the model; that's only 2 mpg better than a Hummer H3. ..

Snake, if you NEVER have seen regular gas being sold you have lived a sheltered life.
The H-3 calls for regular gas and runs excellent on it...
