Sorry for the negative attitude everybody, but this is really stupid.

x2. You own a hummer, shuthefukup! I'm moving, my commute is going from 9 miles to 30 miles (1 way). My gas bill will go up by $150-200 per month just for my commute (not to mention, the nearest grocery store will be 20 miles from my new house). Am I bitching? NO, because it's my choice and if I whine about it, I'm just whining about my own choices.
Here's what you should do to improve your gas mileage:
- Bigger tires. By covering more distance with each revolution, you will go further for each rotation of the engine, thereby using less gas to go the same distance.
- Use your headlights at all times. Studies show that, by using your headlights instead of your daytime running lights, you will actually lower your fuel consumption (because DRLs use so much energy).
- Get a roof rack. The actually helps 'streamline' the boxy nature of the H3. A roof rack distills the air above the Hummer, creating a lower pressure above the vehicle (much like an airplane wing). This 'lift' generated by the effect of the roof rack reduces the rolling coefficient of friction of the tires, increasing gas mileage.
- Use the 'Tornado' intake vortex thingymagger on your exhaust. A little known fact is that the exhaust flows too smoothly out of the engine. This lack of backpressure inhibits the ability of the engine to correctly generate compression. By creating a vortex in the exhaust gases, it increases backpressure, improving your gas mileage.
I hope these ideas help you improve your gas mileage. I'm sure other much more experienced people here can provide other ideas as well.
