I jsut filledthe tank onmy H3 ALPHA for the 25th time & finally sat down & averaged it out.

Average was15.89 mpgwith around 65% City, 30% highway & 5% off-road driving.

I have only used mid-grade octane gasoline...,although Iwould think mpg would improve a bit with Hi-grade.

16.17was the highest...., with 13.11 being the lowest mpg over 25 tank fulls.

My previous SUV was a 2005 Yukon AWD 5.3L

Over 3 years the Yukon averaged 15.1 mpg

The ALPHA may only get about 6% better mileage than the Yukon......., but the ALPHA is 100% more fun!!!!

 

Very NICE!!! Congrats!!!

 

nice go get it drity

 

Are you running stock tires and wheels? Rood Rack?

Just curious.

 

Yep.., I'm running the stock wheels & Bridgestone LT285/75R16 Dueler A/T's that came with the Off-Road Suspention Package. And yes, roof racks too.

veves: It gets plenty off "Dirty" work..., just not many "Dirty" miles because the terrain I've been on is pretty much the slow crawling kinda stuff. I guess I should edit my original post to include about 5% Off-Road miles. I should be racking upsome "Dirty" miles pretty soon though...., I just found an area to blast around in the sand dunes. There are places you can gett'er up to 70 or so on the straights & she flys really good too!! Yeeeee-Hawwwww!!

I've been really impressed at the Alpha's agility at hi-speeds in the sand..., sticks inthe corners like she's on rails!!
