Default Re: GAS MPG

On our latest trip, we drove 60MPH all the way out to Colorado. The highest MPG was 23. The others I calculated were between 21-23 depending on the terrain and amount of stop/go off the interstate. So at 55-60MPH, I can now say that our H3 has beaten the EPA ratings.

However, raising the speed even 5MPH drops the mileage considerably.

By contrast, the H2 got about 11-12 MPG with a 12 foot box trailer. So you can see what driving slower really does. Moving up to 65MPH, the mileage drops to like 8-9.
