Fuel Economy... What to expect
The biggest question I have is, "Is it safe?" I thought hydrogen gas is extremely combustible??? More so than gasoline. Maybe location of the unit is another question. The 300C in the demo video put it in the front behind the grill. Is that a safe spot?
I just finished a hand calculated test and am getting 8 mpg. That is all local driving the past 2 weeks. I got 173 miles to the tank. I filled up 21 gallons. This is awful. Does this make sense, or can something be wrong with the performance of my vehicle?
That seems low Joe. I would double check numbers, try and make sure you are filling up the same every time so that you aren't getting false numbers. How many miles do you have on yours?
I've been thinking using the Aspen to pull my travel trailer camping a couple of times to help break mine in, but I just don't seem to have the time to go camping. Hopefully in July!

Sorry. I slipped. I have 10,000 or so miles now. I used to get 17-19 hwy and 13-15 city when it was new. What gives? My wifw and I barely go above 2,000 rpms from a stop. Never let it idle for more than a minute and no long stop lights. ???????
Called the dealer and they said, "Joe, you are driving a Hemi, what did you expect?" I told him at least to get what it was rated which is somewhere around 14-19 mpg's. 8 mpg's is pathetic. It isn't a HUMMER!!!!
I think the problem is solved. It is the gas station I HAVE been getting gas from all the time.[sm=bustedsign.gif] I switched over the weekend and guess what? I am getting 15 city and 19 highway again. I was supposed to go to dealer today but called to cancel and they explained to me that the station's pump clocks are off. They are pumping mostly fumes instead of liquid. The fumes fill the tanklike airpressure making your guage appear to be full but in turn the fumes burn faster than the liquid. [sm=WTFsgign.gif]
I will continue to use NEW gas station and let everyone know how I am making out.
