I just got my H3T on Saturday and drove approx 250 miles and still had over 1/4 of tank left......about halfway between 1/2 and a 1/4 tank.
The truck isn't broken in yet, but I didn't think that it was all that bad. I'm going to be getting a tonneau soon....you can definitely feel the tail drag going down the highway.

Great news-- Approved. And we had aggreeable terms.

Taking the day off, and driving to get it (12 hour round trip) which is going to suck.

Just returned my car to stock (except Catback) (Trading in a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT)..

Its Boulder Gray I5 Automatic, Luxury Pkg, Tow pkg, rear view camera, painted front grill, home link,


I should be driving my truck in about 14 hours or less.

picked it up and loved it.. Can really say what mileage it got.. Because they supposidly filled it up.. But It was slightly below the full line when I got there.

(which usually means on most new cars, they're 2 or 3 gallons shy of full)

So when I pay for the gas, I am going to start keeping track.

Love the Truck.. Nice! and already getting some double takes.. (Only one in my town that I am aware of)

Welcome aboard! Congrats on your new truck!

One thing you will notice is the "T" has 25% more fuel capacity than an H3 SUV. This comes in handy because you can go farther between fill-ups and pick and choose the cheaper gas stations!

On with highway with my I5 Manual I was getting 600 miles to the tank... that is 22-24mpg

I gotta clean it up and take pics this weekend.

Just set my key fob to honk horn when locking truck. and set up my bluetooth for my cell phone.

Its no speed demon, but I am pleasantly suprised with the performance. I guess this is a classic case of super low expectations, making it easier to accept the actuality of the situation.
