AZDutchman -> RE: H2's and gas (5/12/2008 2:27:25 PM)

I get about 14 to 15 on the freeway running at 65mph. I use unleaded plus.
Everythings stock.

  
3hummers -> RE: H2's and gas (5/12/2008 3:03:33 PM)

I could hit 14 or so on the highway but my average mpg was under 11.

Hummeron37s -> RE: H2's and gas (5/14/2008 1:07:12 PM)

I was at 12.5mpg then i drove to work alittle more in the pedal today and now i am at 11.3mpg go figure

BigPsHummer -> RE: H2's and gas (5/15/2008 6:26:52 PM)

I average about 11.7 from mostly around town driving, with some Interstate thrown in, using regular. I'm mostly stock,save for a leveling kit. Although I really only drive it on the weekends and drive my Z71 for work all week.

Do the programmers like the Diablo Sport help any with MPG's? I would think that leaning out the A/F mixture a little would up it a couple of MPG's. Is that kind of tuning do-able with the Diablo Sport I don't even know.

PM Import Killer, he could probably tell you.

Failed once on my first post, if a repeat please excuse. The gas is my reason for the purhase, plus I rented in one when going back to Colordo in March for a week, a seven hundred mile test drive sold me. 50 years old, tired of the sports car stress on the back, knee's and the squeeze. The H2 felt like a lane recliner in my family room, I loved it.
Got an Adventure in sight, 07, 7K miles about 39K, can one add a third row seat without much diffficulty? Any tips would sure help, nothing better or to the point the owners.
Got a S2000 sports car, 6 years, 19K, but with some bad disk and knee;s time for some comfort and off road fun for change. Plus a tad more practical an dno preimium gas will be nice. Hope to buy in the nexxt 90 days, that panic will hit at $4.00 a gallon, us Americans over react and panic.
Only put about 6 k a year, so whats the real dollar difference, not huge.
Wellcome tips, things to avoid looks for??? Thanks

Ha ha try running a hummer in the UK we are currentley at $2.30 a litre .

we are averaging 8mpg on our stretch hummers.

finall -> RE: H2's and gas (5/24/2008 11:37:07 PM)

chips may launch you faster, but they DO NOT, Read DO NOT improve your gas mileage. Do you think for a minute that they would? If GM could improve gas mileage on the H2, they would look like heroes. And all for just $300 retail (about $100 OEM price). They would do it for $100, since they could sell tens of thousands more!

Important: read this: Chips and other gizmos DO NOT improve your gas mileage. Only gizmos that screw up your emissions, like cat bypass pipes, increase your mileage.

PERIOD. End of discussion on better gas mileage.

Stephen, I am 51 and own a Corvette. Like you getting in and out of it isn't as easy as it used to be. Stepping up into vehicles is easier than going down to get in one. The H2 is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. It rides very nice, handles well and is quiet. I think you would really enjoy an H2. I had the third row seat and in four years no one ever rode in it. I got tired of taking it out and just left it in storage.

dwaxman1 -> RE: H2's and gas (5/26/2008 5:49:19 AM)

I actually was getting 14 MPG yesterday driving from Montreal to Toronto, even with my lights up and hauling a bunch of family crap in the back...what is more crazy is that I think this is good mileage! Oh well it is a new record for me!


InTheLou -> RE: H2''s and gas (7/6/2008 1:03:27 AM)

Thanks for the "real" feedback, bought a 07 H2 last week, love the ride. Still have the sports car, may store the Hummer in summer, S2000 in Winter. 2001 s2000 with 19K miles, cheaper to keep her I guess.

The H2, what a nice soft ride for a 4x4. Had an 08 for 10 days, didn''t notice much difference, but was at high altitude with takes about 20% of the power out. This is my third, had a Cherokee before the SUV craze in 88 in Colorado, a 2000 Suburban with all the kids, great truck and going to have some fun with this. I only put about 6-7K miles per year, fly too much for work, when adding up all the cars, so for all the other posters, I can afford gas, my home, food, dental, etc., but just that every pop up and side advertisement states improved horsepower and gas mileage and was looking for some straight answers from true owners (not commentaries on my balance sheet). Thanks for your reply though, the ride is remarkable for 20 something inches less then the Suburban and way better for the back and knees than the 0-60 in 5.5 sec.

Thanks for the reply, have really enjoyed the short time, one full tank full. K&N is a respectable company (actually with ads all over this board), thought a H2 driver may have bought a cold air intake, take just a moment here, don''t think about gas price, but with a 32 gallon tank you could travel another 100 miles before a fill up on the highway at 3 extra MPG? I would buy it if it works, thats all the question is. Don''t see much science on K&N''s site though for gas mileage, increased HP, except anecdotal postings from first name and last initial (maybe never a good sign for a so called highly engineered product). Also, GM can always get more power, mileage, etc., Shelby, Steve Saleen, and numbers of others on the gas mileage side have done it for 50 years now, take off your spare for start (most companies are going that way already).



L2C -> RE: H2''''s and gas (7/7/2008 8:16:29 AM)

i got 12.5 going to yosemite with 7 people in the car, a basket of stuff on the hitch and a cargo box on the roof rack. Went to the river on july 4th weekend, towed 3 jetskis and got 9.8 mpg on the way there and 7.6 mpg on the way back

jshyshka -> RE: H2''''''''s and gas (7/13/2008 6:27:27 PM)

I get around 12mpg in town and around 15mpg on the freeway ... I don''t drive it fast (65 on the freeway), heck, I don''t want to get there fast because that would mean I would need to stop driving my Hummer H2 ... I have a Vet and a Prowler for going fast ... but I love to drive the Hummer, I''m getting to old for the sports cars :-)

Intercooled -> RE: H2''''''''''''''''s and gas (7/16/2008 5:53:44 PM)

I''m at 11.7 mpg. I just cant seem to see that number "12". maybe someday!
