Humvee expedition

I been wanting one of those HMMWV for quite some time now.
Next week going to call that diesel shop and see how soon before they are finished with testing the injectors for My truck. Then I can get it together and sold then go shopping.
I am curious though ? What kind of fuel mileage do You get with Your 6.5 H1 ?
 
Eric (Hummer H1 meme) has a ton of miles on that hmmwv in the pic. He bought it as a total basket case. Other than his two canoes, that is the first time I saw anything different on the roof rack. Haha.
Any of you guys in Cali want to do adventures- Eric is not a “hummer snob”. Be goes wheeling with anyone in any rig and has pulled out a few oops things along the way.


The mpg is the one killer of the hmmwv/hummer. Unless you are willing to diy fuel.
Black diesel runs through the db2 all day long no problems. So you make an additional $1200 investment, and fuel costs are no longer the problem because all your diesel fuel is now 25% the cost. So the end result is like getting 40-50 mpg. Anyone that can get away with a db2 pickup can do it to obviously.

Btw- Erics hummer is around 6,000 lbs how you see it. Mine is 10,000 lbs. Eric drives properly, and when I drive that way I get same mpg, actually doing 65 on freeway I get 13.5 mpg. When I drive foot to the floor from every stoplight, and doing 85 on the freeway- I get 10.5mpg city, 12.5 hiway. I have a buddy that has his weighing 16,500 as a big camper build and tons of gear and parts. Same fuel mileage as Eric unless he goes over 75 mph on hiway. He learned with his tall roof that from 75-85 makes it loose 3/4 mpg. The normal hmmwv roof is at 6’, mine is 7’6”. The camper one is 10’
 
Eric is forever traveling through the western US. Shares pics of crazy places all the time.

On the hummer forum the make a calendar each year using pics with a member owned hummer in the scene for each month- pretty sure he has more pics in them than anyone.
He lives in Cali - any of you guys with any 4wd pickup/Suburban or whatever ought to tag along whenever you can. He has tiny SUV following along in many of his pics/ videos. I am trying hard to go with them next month using the wife’s toyota fj. Otherwise I might try it in my 2wd Toyota pickup.

He doesn’t do all the crazy stuff that is impossible terrain (except one spot this next run which I will have to go around).

@denata
Ship over your hummer and come play! Eric is wanting to do a trek through Russia in the future- so he will have to do the same
