Re: The Trip and the H3....
Nice trip, what a road warrior (and offroad too). Interesting observation about good gas mileage on winding 2 lane roads. I had a couple of similar experiences. I have a tendency to push 75-85+mph on open freeways no matter what wind conditions are which doesn't help mileage.

Re: The Trip and the H3....
That is great country out there. I love the 4 corners area.
When I go in the summer I try to end up in the San Juan mtns to cool off
I am glad you are enjoying your H3.
Just a little different than the Jeep huh?

Re: The Trip and the H3....
I agree 95%. The H3 is a great road vehicle for long distance driving; great handling, comfortable, fairly quiet. BUT, the H3 can't handle long grades (unless you you don't mind screaming at 4000+RPM). We frequently drive the H3 from the LA area to N.AZ, and I dread the long grade stretches on I-10, especially between Indio and San Bernadino on the return trip. Traffic is always heavy, and if you can't hold 75, you get run over. On grades, the H3 reminds me of my old non-turbo Mercedes 300D diesel, and its not a fond memory.
