A friend of ours is a performance eng. He swears by this
http://www.boschusa.com/AutoParts/Sp...PlatinumPlus4/
He says he got a least 1.5 - 2 more MPG than with stock plug. All manufactures use cheap plugs he say. With a new air intake and these plugs- it is the cheapest and more for your dollar to get better MPG..
Now to find the part number.

I usually keep the sunroof open, put the H3 in neutral, fart and let force of nature take over. Get's a few extra HP and MPG too!

I've found that the best way to increase mpg in my Toureg is to cut the floorboards out and push it along with my feet. This also has made my legs huge. This should work in the H3. Especially in conjunction with the Lee Iacocca bobblehead.

Well, hell, I have had to keep the sunroof closed lately, and now I understand the change in the environment in Dallas, is you.
H30H, let me know when it is safe for my sunroof to be open.

When you use your feet, do you find the urge to yell, "Wilma!" (Sing it with me know: FROM the...TOWN of Bedrock...)

I've got a bobble head doll of Lee Iacocca (sp?) that I plan to duct tape to the dash of my new H3 when it gets here. A friend of a friend of a friend said he heard from the man behind the man behind the man that if you rub the bobble head doll every time you get in, you'll get 3 mpg improvement and 20 HP. Nothing like a little fuel efficiency karma to get things started right.
