ohh cmon there not ugly, ours is just better looking!

[BlueHUMMERH2]

Nah, it has to do with the mileage figures. The H3 is the only vehicle there with 14/18 that gets a 15 average. Notice the JK and Toureg.

[dochummer]

Noticed that too...

i dont think i have ever had mileage that high!
i wonder what the real numbers would be for the adventure package?
i have averaged about 13 mpg over the last 20 months with about 14000+ miles so far.
just wait until these tires wear out and i go to 35x12.5's.
i assume that the mileage would drop to 10-11 /gallon.
sure glad i dont have to drive too much!!!

I wonder about the quality of gas in Mexico...?

But Cabo would be a great place to have an H3. Saw a lot of H2's down there a year ago.

[lance-n]

there are lots of h3's here in cabo now.
bunches of h2's
and about 4 or 5 h1 alpha's
i get alot of use out of mine here.
its great because you can still drive on the beaches and in the dunes here
the h3 sure isnt anything like the h1 in the dunes though!
a buddy of mine scales super soft dunes like nothing in his h1.
i have to hit them with a ton of momentum to even have a chance!
the wider 12.5" foot print will surely help me to float a little better once i upgrade to the larger tires.

i only run the premium fuel here, as the regular is just ridiculous.
the gas stations constantly run out of fuel here, especially in the rainy season, so the fuel constanly has impurities in it-we go through alot of fuel filters.
i am impressed with this truck. i bounce down the washboards all the time and have very few squeaks so far.
i only wish the option of on the fly tire pressure adjustment was available. that would be a great feature, although very few people would actually see the value in it. and r&d/production costs would probably not make it feasible.
a friend of mine bought an fj cruiser about 1o months ago.
it is lifted and has large tires and is good in the sand, but it already rattles like an old car! it does seem to have quite a bit more power off the line than my h3 though.
i like the look and feel of the fj (properly lifted and with tire upgrades-the stock one looks like a pacer!), but i think toyota really blew it with the door design as there are no center posts between the front and back doors. these washboard roads really work a vehicle and the doors on the fj squeak and rattle. he only has like 9000 miles on his so far!
how do i like my h3?

[My Wife\'s Hummer]

yes. that is what i get.

why not offer a small block v8 that would get similar gas mileage for this size vehicle. i used to have a 1/2 ton chevy with a v8 and got over 18 mpg on the highway. any thoughts?

[BirdEye]

Right on the money for me in my 07 adventure...to echo the same sentiment...at least it's more correct now...I usually get around 290 - 330 miles per tank depending on how much highway driving I'm doing...and of course if the wind is blowing hard or not

Is this now the VW Toureg mpg display thread?

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

Just did a highway only trip,

Miami to Vero Beach -
Vero Beach to Orlando -
Orlando to Vero Beach -
Vero Beach to Miami

Top speed 70, Cruise control over 95% of the time, Regular Gas, 1 person (200 lb) 300 lbs gear, Tires 40 PSI, around 600 miles total,

Got 19.9 MPG

[FutureBeachBum]

I can't imagine anyone making a buying decision based on the difference between 15 or 16 mpg.
If you were that concerned about fuel economy, you wouldn't be looking at these vehicles.
