Default Re: 10,000 mile critique of the 2008 H2

I cannot say that the premium fuel got me any better MPG's than regular per se. I recall in my 2006 SUV when we made the same run, I got about 12.7 or so on the mileage burning regular fuel.

But what I did notice was better performance from the rig. I'd had some issues when rolling pulling out from a rolling start...say about 5 to 10 mph that it would hunt and then you would have to mash down on it to get it going kicking it down. With the premium that situation is gone thank god!

My 06 was trouble free also. My 08 had an chaffed wire from the factory that was fixed and its been a great machine.

I seem to recall in the 08 that the book recommends it. There was a posting on here before about that. I'll have to dig out the book and see what it says.

Everyone at my office is surprised we took the H2 on the trip. Asked if it was comfy to travel in. I always say its like sitting in your lazy boy driving down the road. Many people think its a rough riding spartan vehicle. We took the H2 instead of my wifes brand new 08 CTS Caddy....thats just how comfy the H2 is in our opinion....

well time to get some work done...
