H2's and gas

Ya my buddy Larry has a 2006 air with a 6 inch lift and a supercharger and still gets 10.3 with his. I have the 2003 suv and I'm getting 11.9 with a stock unmodded engine. I am thinking about supercharging mine now. Kissing roughly mile and a half a gallon for all the extra power seems worth it.

For the record. I hate the combination or auto spell on my phone with the effects of Percocet. Makes it look like I am a 12 year old kids that can not spell. I really am sorry about that
Steve a supercharger might actually help your mileage at this point. Although your duece is what, 9 feet tall with 200 lbs of wheel and tire at each corner. I'm willing to bet the extra power from the charger would compensate enough to save you a mile or two. Larrys isn't much lower and he gets over 10 all day.

With a stock everything except a full Gobi rack with the tire on the roof (which I'm sure doesn't help matters), I can avg between 12-13 MPG per tank if I don't get on the highway. If I'm on the highway, it drops to 10 MPG.
My non-highway driving isn't exactly stop-and-go though. Mostly two lane roads running 50-60 MPH.

I did post before but after a couple long trips ( 700 miles round) I get better idea of what MPG im getting
700 miles all Highway --- 14 MPG
City-miles (soft foot)--- 11.5 MPG ( notice I live in high traffic volume city )
City miles ( hard foot ) --- 10 MPG
Highway miles with trailer ( jetski) ---- 11.5 MPG
2006 H2 unmodified . regular fuel

its alot easier to spend 350-400 on a tuner instead of 4000 on a charger lol

Unfortunately, Here in the NorthEast, I can't get non-ethanol blend fuel and my milage has really gone down.
But my wife doesn't drive her H2 much anymore. We have done the east/west/east loop and it is unbelivably comfortable! She may be doing the trip again this year to help out her parents in CA.
We just took a mini-vacation to MT in my V10 F250 to pick up a 25' 5th wheel camper trailer. Saw the low end of 14mpg at times on the way out (I normally get around 9 with my short slow work commute). On the way back using the option to fill with non-eth. fuel milage slightly up (trailer was 8-9000#) Low was 7.4 to almost 11.5. With alot of long down grade in PA it bumped up to 12.4! I wish I had the 32 gal tank from the H2 instead of the 26!
I'll be doing a tune up, brakes, shocks, airfilter, outer tie-rod ends replacement and maybe a hub replacement before she goes.

As far as this thread,i'm pretty sure everyone knows how much Hummer mileage goes but i know most of you would agree that Highway MPG is the best when going at 60-70 mph flat.
I went down to Tijuana one weekend and didn't spend nearly as much as i expected to. My MPG at 65 mph was aroun 22-24mpg which was awesome!
The only issue is in-town driving lol...
