Easy. Install a Prince propane system and you get twice the mileage for your money !
At least we do in Skandinavia...

I've recently been trying different brands of fuel. First tank was from Sam's club....with an easy foot, I could get over 13 and up to 13.9. Second tank, Shell and I'm down, ranging from 11.8 to 12.9. Today I'll fuel with BP and see how it goes.

Im fuel conscience as well, and I know what I got into when I picked my h2 up.

Before my transfer case started acting up, I was doing just over 11 average and around 16-18 on the highway.

Its not about totally ignoring fuel economy with the hater line "If you can afford an H2, you can afford the gas" its about making sure everything is running at peak efficiency.

Either you can't add, or your trip computer is broken.

You are NOT getting 18 mpg, no matter what you say.
Pure rubbish.

Wait, maybe you measured it going downhill, in which case 18 is entirely possible.

FYI: I got 15 on a Canadian gallon at the best cruising speed, averaged over 600 miles, mostly on cruise control, babying the new H2 all the way home.

Now that was the best these beasts do. On a tiny US gallon, you can't do better than about 13 on the highway. Again, you have to average up and downhill.

I challenge you to prove your claim!

I installed Cold Air Intake, Magnaflow Exhaust, and removed crossbars, spare tire & jack/jack accessories. At best I get 15.5MPG.

I averaged 16.3 once on a 30 mile trip @45mph. other than that one time, I'm happy if I can average 13.5

save money on gas by buying a motorcycle, it cost me $11 bucks today to fill my beast up haha, and it'll last me all week.

if i were wanting to conserve on my h2 i'd take any unnecessary weight off, racks, sparetire, 3rd row seat, excess stuff. not that it'd make that much of a difference, but it'd help more than it'd hurt.
