I just filled up my H3 for the second time and granted I've been taking it easy but it still averaged 17 miles per gallon. This is a mix of 55-70 on the freeway and just your basic around town driving including some stop and go traffic. I'm more than impressed with this mileage.

Just checked the milage yesterday when I filled up. went 202 miles on 11.495 gallons which mean I am getting 17.6 MPG. 14.3 when I tow my trailer (2000lbs.) Still not bad...

Been monitoring my mileage the last four fill-ups and I'm getting 18-19 miles per gallon :) I do about 70 highway/30 city driving so I'm happy with the results. I now have 4500 miles on it and it got better as the mileage increased.

Man I'm lucky to get 11mpg

So I might be giving IK some competition

But I guess that's the price you pay for running 35's. I'm hoping a CAI and exhaust will bring me up to at least 14/15mpg. Wishful thinking huh...

Has anyone done the Tune, CAI & Exhaust notice any difference in mileage?

I'm in the middle of my long road trip from Phoenix to Kansas, Colorado, Utah and back to Phoenix. I've done over 1800 miles so far. About 200 of that was city. Another 200 was state highway through mountains. Many hundreds were flat interstate miles. So, what's that all mean?

Only getting 15-16.5 on the highway, running 70-80 (depending on speed limits). Always on cruise control. Non-adventure, 32s, auto trans. Started with 1500 on the odometer of my '07 H3 so it was fairly broken in. I was hoping for 17-18. Engines vary a bit from truck to truck, maybe I just got one that's less efficient. I'm going to keep an eye on it. Any ideas?
