Re: GAS MPG
 

Alright where do i look on my car to find out how many MPG i get??? Thanks.

Re: GAS MPG
 

Trip odo and number of gallons to fill. There is no MPG gauge on the H3.

Re: GAS MPG
 

Damn RYD...

Here I thought you came to your senses and removed it. I was starting to like you...:D

Re: GAS MPG
 

Alright thanks. Thats what I thought but just making sure thanks again.

Re: GAS MPG
 

Average I get 21 mpg, mostly city driving with 33's...pretty cool!

Re: GAS MPG
 

Mal,

with all due respect do you COAST to red lights and stop signs and restrict your top speed to 44 mph, are you older then my mother who is 81, do you get towed up hill...

PLEASE PLEASE tell me your secret

RYD

Re: GAS MPG
 

How about 22.8 miles per gallon..............let's see if you can top that! :giggling:

Re: GAS MPG
 

OK !

Enought CHAIN pulling...

NO ONE, I REPEAT NO ONE is averaging 20+ mpg.

Highway I can believe, MIXED city/highway (50/50) then you flunked 3rd grade math.

Re: GAS MPG
 

So, you don't belieive me? Do you think I'm just playing around? :crying:

Re: GAS MPG
 

NO, I know!!!

RYD

Re: GAS MPG
 

Hey RYD, what happened to your sigs?


I get almost 13 mpg, usually 230 miles when the light comes on. :violin:

Re: GAS MPG
 

Was there more than one Hilter in 38-39??? Maybe that explains how he got so much done in beginning!!!

Re: GAS MPG
 

The hitler youth group deleted it !!!

Re: GAS MPG
 

Lol, should we form a Anti-Hitler group! :jump:

Re: GAS MPG
 

With all due respect, RYD, my wife's family were taken and killed for the "sin" of being Jewish. Her mother was rescued but her fingers and toes are deformed from malnutrition as a child. Her father was shot six times by German prison guards as the Allies approached but managed to survive although he had a bullet which was so close to his heart, it was inoperable.

Moderators are NOT like Hitler or any Hitler Youth Group. Making such comparisons diminishes the horror which the Nazis visited on the world.

Re: GAS MPG
 

MAC,

With all due respect to you and your wife my family on both sides lost over 200 relatives in the camps, great grandparents, aunts, uncle's, great aunts and uncle's, cousins, 1st, 2nd and 3rd etc...

It all started when the first person turned the other cheek, when someone said "its only the Jews, then its "only the Jews and the Gypies" and then its "only the Jews, the Gypies and the Poles", etc etc

After the end of WWll, I'm not sure who or the date, the statement of
"NEVER AGAIN" arose.

Just because a few SSPLMF's are not true Nazi's but there intention reeks of the same sarcasim, i am better then you, power is might therefore i can control, and on and on

I CAN, I DO and I WILL use that phrase so long as they act in that manor. To belittle people who have a different view over an SUV, or a part, or a modification is not excusable.

I learned many years ago as a child after being beat up because I was Jewish, being called a JEW, a KIKE and many other things what "NEVER AGAIN" ment. There came a point where I learned to defend myself. A point of learning when to run and when to fight. Of learning to forgive but never forget.

I may be a middle aged, overweight American Jewish Male who owns a HUMMER H-3 and enjoys it

BUT

no matter what I will not sit by and be abused by them

Re: GAS MPG
 

As a Naturalist and Biologist, what is SSPLMF? Never heard that before. :confused:

Re: GAS MPG
 

Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with H3's or gas mileage.

Re: GAS MPG
 

Your right and I'm sorry for carrying on like that.

Re: GAS MPG
 

This was my last tank:
12/25/0610:52 AM5,102241.536?$2.2119.60412.32

I went 241.5 and my light or bell still didn't go off?
Another time I went 376.1 and still no bell or light??? :confused: 07/02/0612:15 AMDodge City - Loves #0582,564376.179?$2.8919.66119.13

Above is the best milage I've gotten on a trip and that was from Florissant Colorado to Dodge City Kansas. My total average of 21 fill-ups so far is 14.98.

Re: GAS MPG
 

I'm not disagreeing with you standing up for yourself but, given what you've just said, you of all people should not be comparing the moderators to Nazis.

Sorry for the hijack. Although I haven't done an extensive workup on the gas mileage of my H3 since I'm only on the second tank since I bought it, I've observed appx 16 mpg in mixed driving; appx 50% highway and 50% city. My H3 has a K&N air filter and an aftermarket dual-pipe muffler which likely affect it's performance.

Re: GAS MPG
 

That's what I get when I drive the speed limit with a tail wind!:dancingbanana:

Re: GAS MPG
 

I get roughly 360 miles before the light comes on.

Re: GAS MPG
 

Thats very good and likely very near the best most of us will get.
I have gotten (once) 351, but mostly 290 to 320.

Overall I average around 15mpg

RYD

Re: GAS MPG
 

the majority of my driving is highway with less than 5% being city. Before I had to have engine work done- I honestly used to get close to 380 miles before the light would come on. However, for some reason- ever since the dealership replaced the cylinders- the gas mileage isn't quite what it used to be but it's still pretty damn good.

Re: GAS MPG
 

Wow 360 miles before the light comes on, probably about 18mpg, pretty good. I've only seen 18 mpg once in my H3. But my long freeway drives in California usually involve speeds in the 75-90mph range and the mileage never exceeds 17mpg.

Re: GAS MPG
 

From somewhere on the KS turnpike to Vandalia, IL is 365.90 miles, and that is when I filled up with 20.007 gallons this July. (18.288 mpg) Could have easily gone up to 400+ miles on the odo.

Re: GAS MPG
 

I drive 100% city. First tank was 11.2mpg, the second 13.5mpg. I drive my H3 like I drove my Z4...but worse. Now I can driver over things in my way.

I just installed a K&N CAI and got the PCM mod'ed by pcmforless. We will see what happens.

Re: GAS MPG
 

Ok just filled up my first tank of gas today i had 250 miles on the car and the tank fills up 20 gallons so myself on my first tank i got 12.5 MPG. Maybe once the break in period is done or what not, hopefully I'll get more MPG

Re: GAS MPG
 

I can get around 340 miles before the light goes on. Most of the time 320. I would say I avg 16.5-17.5 at best.

Re: GAS MPG
 

I just filled up for the second time and got 15.6 mpg. Does this get better as the H3 continues to break in?

Re: GAS MPG
 

not a lot...

RYD

Re: GAS MPG
 

My observation is the same, mileage doesn't get much better after break-in.

Re: GAS MPG
 

Some people have reported 19-22 on a nice long road trip, no mountains, no hills, cruise control, 65mph and lower, etc etc...

In real life even after your first 500 to 5000 miles you will see 12 to 18 mpg depending where you live, your top speed, use of cruise control, HOW HEAVY YOUR RIGHT FOOT IS, etc

I have around 12000 miles on my yellow one and 3000 on the gray, both are averaging around 15mpg.

Thank goodness we can burn regular gasoline.

Re: GAS MPG
 

I have the adventure model, and I average 18 mpg all day long. I do not check miliage with every tank, but I have checked 4 or 5 tanks and it averages 18 everytime. That is mostly highway, and little traffic.

Re: GAS MPG
 

Wow 18mpg, must be some slow highway speeds. Takes more self-restraint than I have to drive that slow. I've only seen 18 mpg once in 29000 miles of driving my H3. But freeway speeds in much of California are 75-90 mph.

Re: GAS MPG
 

I guess, I usually cruise the hwy at 70, if that is slow.

70 just feels like the right speed for the rig rpms are about 2200,
and it doesnt have to work hard to maintain it.

Re: GAS MPG
 

damn there must be some secret most of you know about. I've been at about 13 since i got it. Get around 16-17 on highway, but mixed city highway or just city, i cant get past 13 no way. So fess up whats teh secret?:)
