Keep in mind the full-time AWD is going to limit you on mpgs no matter the engine mods, gears or superchargers etc. Just ask OrgangCrush who did all the power performance stuff and ended up putting a DMAX in his H2.

Installing bigger tires is a guaranteed 2-4 mpg loss. Changing gears will bring some of that loss back.

At best, if you go for all out fuel economy, you may gain 1-2 mpg. Big freakin? deal.... That means you can drive an extra 30-50 miles on a tank full.

Guruerror hit it spot on... you?ll driving an all wheel drive vehicle in the shape of a brick that weighs almost 7K lbs. There is no tuning, no secret tools, no magical space dust to get better gas mileage. (at least any worth a darn)

It?s simple, you buy an H2 for the vehicle it is, crappy gas mileage is part of that equation. If you can?t afford it or don?t like it, buy a prius.

Too bad about that space dust, huh?
