WTF do you know ...

I know:

* what my gas mileage is in a variety of circumstances;

* how much my oil change was;

* that an H2 is bigger and more powerful and comfortable than an H3, but less fuel-efficient and more expensive;

* an Adventure Package H3 comes with a lot of helpful stuff for off-roading that would be hard and expensive to add later - e.g, lower tranfer case ratio, rear locker, etc ...

* that a lot of other have more experience with both vehicle.

And that's what I relayed.

What's you point? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

How big a of a difference in gas mileage is there between the H2 and H3?
Also how much does it generaly cost to maintain a H2? is the supension expensive to repair?
Basically what do you need to look out for or worry about in a used one with about(2003) 50K?

I'm trying to deciede between a used H2 or new H3 so any input would be appreciated, I leaning toward the H2 but the way gas prices keep creeping up I'm still on the fence.

I actually get pretty good gas mileage on my H2. I get about 11.5 mpg with the stop and go driving I've mostly been doing lately. I get as much as 14.5 mpg on the hwy if I keep it under 65 mph. I'f I'm going about 75 mph, I get about 12.5. At 80 mph, it drops down to the 11.5 I get in the city. If I put the cruise control on at 55 mph and don't very my speed at all, I get as much 16.5 to 17.0 mpg.
I seem to get metter mileage than most. I don't know if this is due to the way I drive or possibly the after market exhaust - though I've been told the latter shouldn't make much difference. Clearly though, the H3 gets better mileage.
My only oil change was at Jiffy (had no choice - on an emergency road trip) was about $60 with Mobil 1.
Haven't had mine long enough to experience its reliability, but I think people here are basically happy with the H2 on that front.
Apples to apples new:
H2 is more comfortable, carries more people and gear, and is more powerful.
H3 is cheaper and more fuel efficient.
Both are very capable off road. If you don't want to go off road a fair amount, I wouldn't get either (just my $0.02), and if you do intend to use it off road, I would definitely get the Adventure Package if you get an H3.

There are a lot of people on here that have a lot more experience with both models than i do though. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Cant report much on the 3 besides they seem small for my likes on the inside...cool trucks just small for me. I love my H2....just go buy one--youll love it.
