If the correct tune is chosen and the H3 is driven accordingly, I would imagine you might end up seeing better mpg as a result. We have a supercharger on our Alpha and, believe it or not, we actually get mileage a little better than before (almost one full mpg). I'm sure this has to do with efficiency and other factors engineers would love to chat about. The hard part is keeping myself from "having a little fun" with the gas pedal from time to time.......that REALLY hampers the mileage.

Sure, I'd love to get 20+ mpg with the Alpha. But I am realistic and am still in love with our HUMMERs OffRoad capability which I wouldn't trade for a few MPGs!

In that second pic the one where the guard goes over the hood, how the heck do you open the hood with something like that covering it??

Frekin looks awesome though

It is hinged to fold forward, just below the headlight/grille guard.
Looks great but a pain in the *** if you like doing your own work on your rig. You can only access the engine compartment from the left or right side.
