Gas Milage
Just drove my new H3 to Cleveland From South East Missouri. When I left odometer read 445 when I came back 2145. I averaged a Suprising 18 MPG. I am thrilled. I purchased the H3 in Memphis(Sunrise Hummer) and drove it home, the first tank got 13.5 MPG. I was a little scared but it has improved with every tank. I traded in a 2003 Tahoe and thought I made a mistake. I am a Hummer owner for life.

That's pretty decent mileage. It sounds like those were 99% highway miles though, so don't count on getting that while driving around town.[sm=icon_guiness.gif]SLURP![sm=alcoholic.gif]

I HEAR THAT!!!! I'm still waiting to break the 15 mpg mark that I seem to be stuck on.

I've been driving only on the expressway this week. i have the lux. and i use synthetic oil. since i switched its been better.

don't know how you do it, you are the absolute best I have ever heard of going 22 mpg for a trip!! Theres a multiple page thread on another Hummer board about mileage and out of 50+ people almost everyone is averaging 13.5-16,one guy claimed 21 for a trip and got flamed to hell for it....good thing your here and not there

RE: Gas Milage
don't look at the poll#'s, read the thread...NOT one person is claiming 22 mpg...only a very few are even at 17 mixed like you. I'm not sayin you didn't get that...not at all, just that you are the highest I have ever seen. What are the specs on your h3? tire size,man. or auto? Just curious.
