RE: GAS
Clean air filter, use synthetic motor oil, and make sure your tires are fully inflated..........I have mine at 38PSI. Take it easy starting out
from a stop cuz the 3 is heavy and you should see an improvement. You could always slow down a tad on the eway, the brick shape doesn't help there.

The times are a changing!
The good news is that you can now buy a pretty goodDVD player for the cost of one tank of gas... bad news is thata tank of gas costs as much as a good DVD player...
I have been feeling REALLY good these days and no longer second guess my decision to go with a FULLY loaded H3x (DVD players, the works) over standard equiped H2... Feeling good about that choice now...every week!

+1 to Doc's points. Light on the pedal and 65 MPH on the freeway does me the most good.

Gas engines and Diesel engines are totally different animals. A performance chip can transform a diesel engine into a completely different beast! You can achieve huge HP & Torque gains along with better fuel mileage with the correct tunes. Oversize tires and speed are the #1 killer in fuel consumption with any vehicle.

I usually drive 75-80 HWY and average around 13.5-14 MPG. This week I found a different route to work that is back roads, actually faster but only drive about 50-55 on it now. So far I'm at 170 miles and haven't quite hit half a tank yet.

Not sure how much you would gain by doing that, and you may have to worry about state inspection and/or noise pollution(Jersey has laws for both). Just keep anything that you don't need out of the Hummer and keep tires inflated properly.
