Default Re: Milage in Colorado

My life-to-date mileage is exactly 12 mpg. In this thin air, the H2 is a bit underpowered. Any time you go up a slight incline it shifts down into 3rd, and often 2nd which winds the engine like crazy. I drive up I-70 to Evergreen almost every day and spend 1/2 of that time in 2nd gear at 4500 rpm. I've added a rack, winch, and 200 lbs of underbody protection. The more weight you put on it, the worse it gets. Adam's loaded rig probably hasn't seen 3rd gear in 12 months!
