Magic would be increasing the mileage to 35 mpg.

Steve, I really didn't want to post again on the main topic(and hog the discussion) and I didn't join digg to give you some hits. But the diesel keeps rearing its head and following is the ed wallace review of the new jeep v6 diesel.

A recent test of of our '06 H3 auto w/adventure pkg with 13k miles on the odometer, 10% ethanol, a maintenace dose of red line fuel additive, 42psi in the 33's, no noticable wind, a/c running, 500lbs total passengers and cargo, and cruise at 68mph yielded 19.5 mpg. Off of cruise and not keeping up with the front runners and yet not bringing up the rear lowered mpg by 2.

No, I have an H1 and I'm currently getting 14.5 mpg (diesel).
 
See post #6 for what I said about the H2.
Your 12mpg is pretty good. You might do a little better with a lighter right foot, and you'll do a lot worse towing or off-roading.

Recent north south trip strong head wind even stronger tail wind. 8k miles on that expensive thick 5w30, original still very clean air filter, tires at 38psi with 12/32 of tread remaining, keeping up with the flow, a/c running - 17mpg.

A reporter would like to talk to mothers who use a large SUV to transport children but are now considering a smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicle as a result of high gas prices. Please respond to jwahledmunds.com with your daytime contact information along with your current vehicle and the vehicle/s you are considering no later than Wednesday, June 11th.
 
Thanks,

The reason you don't see EPA numbers listed for the H2 is that the weight of the vehicle is so high that they can get it excluded from the EPA rating system. Many heavy-duty full size trucks qualify for this exemption as well. I think it has to be over 3 tons.

just another reason to put a bullet into GM
 
it's exemptions and tax breaks for cars like the Hummer that clearly show a lack of vision and undue poor influence in Washington. Of course no one in the current administration really cares about curbing our use of oil.
