Hummer Fuel economy Increase

Post by friend777_99 »

Hi,



I just recently purchased an H2 Hummer. I was just wondering if someone knows of a good

combination to get better fuel economy out of my Hummer. I heard something about a

computer chip...cold air intake and duel exhaust.

Hey Elberto,



I have a Volant CAI, Magnaflow exhaust and a Hypertech Programmer.....If I drive like an old man, I can get 13.4MPG, but the problem IS when you do these MODS, your Rig becomes way more responsive that you CAN'T HELP giving 'er!!! I think I'm getting 10.4 but I'm HAVING FUN!!!!

I agree BOB!!



I have now installed Airaid cold air intake, Poweraid TBS, Gibson Headers and Gibson Exhaust, Ready Left Leveling Kit, and the computer program will come later, it all depends on how heavy your foot is.....

[/quote]Did you also install the tube that goes along with the airaid intake?  How do you like the tbs did it make a difference?  I have just the airaid cone on still thinking about adding the tube and TBS?  Also how do you like the Gibson Exhaust?
