Hey guys.. Just sold my BMW and bought a New H3 and couldnt be happier! I love the thing except for how slow it is but I can deal with that. So here is some info. Black with Adventure package, Towing Package, Sunroof, 5spd manual. The mod bug is starting to hit me. I have 300km on it now and need to start up. Im trying to figure out the best way to increase MPG right now since I do alot of highway driving.
First thing im doing is installing a Full Nav/Car Pc system. Ill make sure to post pics of the build.

Howdy! Another fellow Canadian, another H3, what could be better? I assume you got it from Duecks? Congrats, and enjoy the ride

it was a nice ride.... But i like driving in the H3 more.... Seem to get more attention too.... Only thing that really upsets me now is watching the gas gauge :(
What should I do to help improve the gas mileage for highways? increase tire pressure? diff oil? air filter?

Keep you foot out of it...the gas milage will inprove while it is breaking in...you should peak at you top gas milage between 5 and 7 K miles...
Mine went from 12 mpg to 15.2 mpg now with 8200 miles on it...

i managed to squeeze 370 miles before the light came on my first tank.... i have about 600 miles on the truck so far. 80% highway 20% city... Its not to bad. hopefully it improves still :)
Also I have the adventure package and Im wondering what the best tire pressure is for highway driving? 40ish?

Contrary to popular belief..the OM is not always gospel...things like tire pressures are established for minimum tolerances and for ride comfort, and not for optimum tire life and wear..40 PSI for these 285 tires is ideal...Sorry to burst your bubble Rich.
