Doing the tire pressure thing, the CAI from Doc Olds and a PCM tune....That and Using the cruise religiously (65 mph).
It makes a difference when commuting 50 miles round trip....All highway.
It's almost a game now to see how much I can get from a tank.
Also, I have to say....Using the real time MPG readout on my Scan Gauge II was a real eye opener.
I've also discovered not all gas stations are equal...Exxon costs me a mile per gallon....Race Trac regular yields the best MPG so far.
16.5 mpg running Swampers (with heavy *** spare), an SMA guard, roof rails and a ton of crap in the back....Not bad......

Best thing I have done is to make sure I am buying fuel from stations that are not adding methanol to their fuel. Seems to add about 3 mpg's over methanol fuels for only a few cents more.

Bob! Your H2 is dirty!! Visited your website and that thing is always sparkling!
I'm more religious with the cruise control now. I work from home so don't put many miles on. 4,000 since last December...

Oh you are part Indian too huh? When I wash my car and detail, it's almost a guarantee that it WILL rain for sure! I think the act of washing must be some sort of Native American Rain Dance.
