WHAT'S YOUR GAS MILEAGE BEEN ?

MINE IS 15MPG ON HWY AND 12MPG AROUND TOWN..........FORGET ABOUT 4 LOW .......MAYBE 10MPG  IF ITS ALL DAY 4 WHEELING.
 
I SEE THEY ARE ADVERTISING "20 MPG" UMMMMM WHAT ???
 
AM I MISSING SOMETHING !!!!!!!!

Mine averages 20Mpgs.............................................when on a diesel flatbed going with the wind down hill!   On a trip in August(220 miles, 20 of it was city type driving), loaded down w/ the family and a weeks worth of luggage/stuff, I got 16.5 driving no faster than 75 and accelerating very conservatively in traffic.  I never checked other than that???

I can get 20-22 if I drive like a normal person (55-65 MPH). I have the 3.5L I5, 5-speed manual and Gibson cat-back exhaust.

I normally sit 15-18 MPG in the city, driving it aggressively.

I get near the rated MPG, but I noticed that if you are a little heavier on the foot, it sucks gas like no other :D

Do you have the H3 Hybrid or what?
 
 

I've got the 07 3.7L and before i added K&N, PCM and Magnaflow I was able to get 361 miles on 18 gallons, 70mph interstate light load, 3,500miles on odometer.

Checked it recently and still getting around 19-20mpg IF I keep it under 70 and don't go up to many hills. Seems like when the engine revs over 2500 RPM while cruising sustained MPG drops quickly. I run regular 87 octane and have the 32" Non_adv. wheels.

I'm tickled with my mpg, crap it's better than my 03 Tacoma V6 2WD. Best I EVER got on it was 17 on the freeway.

I have an 06 5cyc. I run 87 octane as well.........have 33 tires....I DID get about the same mileage you are getting when I first bought it last yr....
Now its sucking it dry....................
 
I guess you can have the bragging rights on this one !

Hey Tinked, I'm surprised you got 20MPG with 33" Adventure tires. That normally shave a few mpg off from the stock 32s.

Judging from your action pics, I may be able to deduce why your mileage isn't what is should be.

Ha Ha !!! thats weekend driving I am talkin normal hwy driving....I was closer to 19 when I first got the H3.........:)

I get 9 city 10-11 highway. this tank was ALL highway
 

isn't that a sign of a head going out.....hmmmm

my very non scientific way of checking has been giving me consistant 17 mpg on every tank full

it's been that way since day one so I dunno, not really worrying about it

I'd be very worried about it if I got 9mpg in an H3, thats less than half of the rated MPG.

Whats to worry about...it breaks they fix it. I drive it hard, thats the main reason for the mileage. Plus the first 500 miles are the most important for pcm learning, that's why your told not to redline the tach,drive at high speed for a prolonged period of time,take off hard from the line or tow. I wanted my pcm to learn the way I really drive so I was hard on it from day one. My gas mileage blows but I also have more balls than any other I5 h3 on the road. I have proven this against my two friends h3's..in a 1/4 mile stretch of rt. 1 I beat them both by 2-3 car lengths. I'll trade fuel mileage for power any day. 

I usually get 15 or so with my best being 16.8.  I checked it today though and only got 13.4.  Not sure what i did diferent this time.

IK: Not to argue with ya bro., cuz we know that won't get me anywhere anyway, I just got my PCM back two days ago from our friends at PCMforless, and that is a pretty cheap way to get real benefits w/o learnin your PCM to cram gas in the engine cuz the guy drivin has a big right foot!?  I was a little sceptical, but let me tell ya, best $159.00 (139 + 20 Shipping) I spent in a long time.  Makes my 07 a lot more enjoyable, and definitely a boost in the low and mid power band.  Quite suprising really !!  I have 33" tires, so I can only suspect the guys with the tiny little whimpy 32s  would feel even more on the low end start.  I recommend it to everyone.
 
Dude, you need a friend at OPEC to get you a family discount with your kinda mileage!!!!  Wanna drag?

yea I am planning on getting a pcm from pcmforless but not until after I get my mods done. I don't mind the gas mileage...hell I was getting 7 mpg in my dodge

That's cuz mine's the best out there. Okay, I'll stay in line here. Getting 14.5-14.9 on every tank, mixed driving. Have pcm tune, exhaust, airaid filter. Pretty heavy with the right foot.  The 14.5s tend to come with 2 to 3 hours of offroading in there. A/C hasn't really been turned off since I got it in May. Still over 100 here in the desert.
