I'd be very worried about it if I got 9mpg in an H3, thats less than half of the rated MPG.

Whats to worry about...it breaks they fix it. I drive it hard, thats the main reason for the mileage. Plus the first 500 miles are the most important for pcm learning, that's why your told not to redline the tach,drive at high speed for a prolonged period of time,take off hard from the line or tow. I wanted my pcm to learn the way I really drive so I was hard on it from day one. My gas mileage blows but I also have more ***** than any other I5 h3 on the road. I have proven this against my two friends h3's..in a 1/4 mile stretch of rt. 1 I beat them both by 2-3 car lengths. I'll trade fuel mileage for power any day.

IK: Not to argue with ya bro., cuz we know that won't get me anywhere anyway, I just got my PCM back two days ago from our friends at PCMforless, and that is a pretty cheap way to get real benefits w/o learnin your PCM to cram gas in the engine cuz the guy drivin has a big right foot!? I was a little sceptical, but let me tell ya, best $159.00 (139 + 20 Shipping) I spent in a long time. Makes my 07 a lot more enjoyable, and definitely a boost in the low and midpower band. Quite suprising really !! I have 33" tires, so I can only suspect the guys with the tiny little whimpy 32s [8D][8D]would feel even more on the low end start. I recommend it to everyone.

Dude, you need a friend at OPEC to get you a family discount with your kinda mileage!!!! Wanna drag?
