Default H2's and gas

I know if your worried about gas prices, you shouldnt be driving a hummer lmao - but I wanted to post what Ive done and perhaps get some more feedback on my situation...

I gambled on one of those computer chips you buy off of Ebay - you get the choice of plugging into your air intake system or thermostat if its a combo air intake - which the 04 h2 is.. well long story short, it says im averaging 11.2 mpg city, and when im on the highway (rarely) my instant economy read that I was averaging 18-24 while maintaining 60mph... not bad?

I should also note that when you have to accelerate, I noticed the mpg dropped like a rock - down to 3 when Iapplied gas pressure- but the average still says 11.2 so it must even out somewhere...

I wish I could just coast everwhere too - the instant economy button reads that i average 40-55mpg when Im just gliding

So, Ijust wanted to share - my results after about 3 gas tanks and about ~900 miles. The only thing I forgot to do is ask what everyone else is getting normally mpg (city drivers preferred)... I read on edmunds that the average is 10.4, but I want to see if others are getting above 11 in the city without the chip. So if anyone has the time to run out and just check what they're getting mpg wise, what grade fuel their using, additives?? Id greatly appreciate it.

Anyone??

I stopped worrying about gas when I got our H2. If we get a car with great gas mileage, we might as well buy an RC car. If we get a deisel, fuel is running about 20 cents higher than premium (BTW I heard on the radio that deisel fuel was expected to go up to 8-10 dollars a gallon in the next 10 years). No matter what you're SOL so might as well buy what you enjoy and live it while you can.
