Hummer 3 - H3 Gas Mileage

One of the aims with the Hummer 3 was to create a vehicle with a better gas mileage than the gasoline craving H1 and H2, and with the small and compact H3, GM certainly succeeded. The gas mileage is still high compared to ordinary cars, but compared to its predecessors the Hummer 3 gas mileage is very impressive.   

The Hummer 3 gas mileage of the 2006 Hummer H3 4WD is 20 miles per gallon for highway driving and16 miles per gallon for city driving. For combined driving, the mileage rating landed on 17 miles per gallon. Driving 25 miles with your 2006 Hummer H3 4WD will therefore consume approximately 1.47 gallons of gasoline, provided that the trip consists of combined driving. If the fuel price stays on $2.25 per gallon, such a tour will cost roughly $3.31 in your Hummer 3.

The 2006 Hummer H3 4WD is equipped with a 23.0 gallon tank, and the fairly reasonable Hummer 3 gas mileage makes it possible for you to drive around 350 miles on one tank. If you drive 1500 miles per year, the annually cost for your fuel will be $1985, provided of course that the abovementioned fuel price stays the same. If you re-fuel your H3 each time the tank is 10% full and the fuel price stays on $2.25 per gallon, you can expect the cost of each fill-up to be $46.58.

If you want to improve the Hummer 3 gas mileage even further, there are several things you can do. To start with, a car in prime condition will consume less fuel than a worn down one, and keeping your Hummer 3 spick-and-span will therefore save you money on the long run. Make sure that necessary maintenance work is carried out according to plan and take good care of your vehicle. Secondly, a fuel conscious driver should always keep the ties properly inflated, since under inflated tires makes the Hummer 3 gas mileage drop like a stone. Wheel alignment is another importance factor that can be easily adjusted. Last but certainly not least, your driving style will have a huge impact on the Hummer 3 gas mileage. By keeping a steady pace and avoiding unnecessary breaking and acceleration, you will decrease the fuel consumption dramatically. Paying some attention to your driving style and using cruise control as much as possible is therefore recommended.
