Default 86,000 Miles on 07 H3X

Just Rolled Over 86,000 miles on Yellow Boy and so happy that we bought this vehicle! Yes, just rolled over the 86,000 mile mark and my MPG has increased to 18.85 mpg! I believe that is fantastic!
Special salute to those with much higher miles and a very special salute to those over 200,000 miles on your H3.
Truly enjoy reading your posts... especially when you solve an issue that has been driving you nuts!

First day in our garage! Nov. 1, 2022

Very clean!

We feel lucky to have found \"Yellow Boy"!

I don't usually like Yellow much, but the Yellow H3s were pretty cool. Glad to see it has a nice home with people that appreciate it.

The beautiful day thing........... nope, cloudy, windy and 38F outside, the weather sucks!

Well, thanks for your kind words. This is the first Yellow vehicle ever for me!
It's about 68 and cloudy here. Just finished washing Yellow Boy and put him back in the garage.
Sorry that your weather isn't better... Enjoy the day!

Nice clean H3, from what I can see anyways. My '08 Alpha now has about 165K; still running strong, but my mileage went down a bit (from 15mpg to 14.5-14.75mpg) when I put on the 305 BFGs. Worth it!

Thank you, Happy Camper!
One of the previous two owners must have installed some sound insulation in the doors and maybe the floor because it is extremely quiet! Neighbors have been very impressed with just how quiet it is on the road. I don't think it has ever been off road. Just too clean.

That's great mileage 650 Hawk. My '08 Alpha has 56k miles and I'm running the same size tires but I only average about 11 mpg. Still wouldn't give it up no matter how expensive gas gets!
