did you have your chassis computer adjusted for bigger tires? i doubt your mileage changed that much, it's just a confused computer, now that you have less revolutions per mile.

do they have computer chips (superchips) for the H3's?
I'd like to re-adjust my tire size too...

I wouldn't expect that big of a mileage hit. Essentially the gearing just got taller about 5% which in itself doesn't worsen mileage. But the taller gearing effect means you need to stuff your foot harder into the gas pedal to make it accelerate which can't help the mileage. Can't imagine how slow an H3 would feel with 37's.

On 33's was getting about 300 miles per tank. On 35's I'm getting about 270. HI tells me that on the OE 32's she was getting about 320 so there seems to be a pattern.
I have a spreadsheet at work of MPG over the last several tanks. I'll post a screen shot tomorrow.

that's about 6.3% change from OE to 33's, and 10% 33 to 35. even that's not completely right though, since your odometer is off. has anyone tried asking the dealers if they can change the chassis programming? i know on the H2 they only went up to 35" tires, but they may be able to help on the H3. worth asking.
