What is typical highway mpg on these?

I found this searching this forum.

although I will admit it is a pleasant ride! I have gotten 12 - 14 mpg. Nothing great -- but better than the 10 MPG we see on the civvies.

Fuel Economy of the Humvee: It varies, but generally less than 12 miles per gallon of diesel fuel. Usually around 8 on the highway and 4 in the city.

It all depends on the tow vehicle

 

[KansasBobcat]

10 to 12 around town

 

[Blackmagic94]

So considerable less then a CUCV with a 6.2L

I LOL'd…I feel like i should buy you a cake or something for that.

I get between 10-13. It also depends on the transmission. I have the 3 speed so if i'm cruising at 50 +/- it's sucking fuel.

When I refuel and someone asks me about fuel mileage in my hmmwv, I say it gets over 20 mpg. The look on their confused faces is priceless. It takes the wind out of their sarcastic reply.

If your worried about fuel economy , MV's are the wrong hobby.

Fuel mileage is as described to me by a military mechanic (CRAPPY at best) and any of them that are armored (I know WE cant get them) you can cut CRAPPY in half on a good day!

When the HMMWV was engineered, the military was not concerned with MPG....

I get 8-9 MPG in my 998.... 3-speed, 2007 6.5L turbo diesel, 50-75 MPH, IP turned up.

What state is SW?

I thought the final drives on them go bad at high speeds.

SW = Southwest
By 'final' drive do you mean transmission or x-fer case or diffs or all of the above?
I've put about 6K miles on it, and to get to the good offroad trails I need to drive at least an hour at ~70mph to get there. This motor wants to keep pulling strong even at that speed, but I don't push it over that.

 

[doghead]

One of the site rules requests a state in your location.

By Final Drives I mean, The last place power is transmitted to the wheels.

From the TM, GEARED HUBS - Serve as the front wheel steering spindle and act as the final drive components to front and rear wheels.

Yeah, I first thought that maybe "final drive" meant geared hubs... but... then thought, they are the same hubs on the trucks that have a 4L80 transmission, like the H1 w/ same 6.5L Turbo, or Alpha w/ Duramax. So then thought maybe you meant some other drive component that was specific to the M998 3-speed setup that I have.

Army Kid, Please change your user profile to reflect your State of Residence. It is a site requirement. Ignoring a moderators request is not a good thing.

That statement made by a TreeHugger, yes we love trees too until one stands needlessly on the way.
