You're on your own to convert to metric. I get between 13.5 and 14.5mpg.
Here's a couple threads that touch on either what people are getting for fuel efficiency, or thoughts on how to improve it:

I get no more than 420 kms and no less than 380 kms off a tank in alberta. A tuneup to your Hummer does not warrant premium fuel. Ive tested fuel multiple times. Premium vs regular ive had NO difference in fuel economy and NO difference in power.
I have a 06 h3. 120k on body. 15k on new crate engine. With 285/75/16 tires.
Premium fuel is usually recomended for high compression engines which the 3 has.. But I have yet to see a difference.

Just purchased a 2008 Alpha with 33" tires. First tank only got 10mpg of city driving. Ran a can of Seafoam through it and went to 97 octane. Interstate road trip over the Rockies was an amazing 19.5 mpg. Next trip into the Rockies and a few hours of breaking snow drifts and moderate hill climbing 14.5 mpg. Couldn't be happier with my v-8.

I live in new Brunswick. I got about 500-600km with mixed city and highway driving when i got it. i put heavier tires on and get a bit less but not that noticeable. I only run regular. Also i just cleaned my tb and maf yesterday and seems to run smother and have a.bit better response. Tb ws filthy. i figured roughly 16-18 mpg

Hummerz it does not call for premium gasoline. Just regular. That link you posted calls for regular also. I honestly don't know if putting a higher octane would gain any mpg or not. Maybe slightly. I don't think it really would be enough to make up for the cost of the premium gas though. And the horsepower? possibly a little higher, but I would think over the long run the premium is just going to cost more and not do much for your H3. Get a pcm tune, a one time cost and gain some hp's and mpg there. H3's call for 87 octane fuel. We run a tank of premium through periodically but we use 87 like it calls for everyday driving.
