I was driving home tonight and saw a H2 that a hybrid emblem on that back that looked like it came off a Prius. I laughed so hard I almost had to pull over.

Let's see how many Hummers we can convert to Hybrids!

I love fukkin with people's brains. I am frequently asked about gas mileage. That's when I say with a very serious face "I don't understand the whole thing about the Hummers and poor gas mileage. I get 30 on the highway and around 22 in the city." Then I usually turn and walk away leaving them scratching their heads.;)

The blue H2H (Hydrogen) is a real test vehicle owned by GM. Actually there are several of them and I have been behind the wheel of one. It's a stock 6.0 combustion engine converted to use hydrogen gas. It's not a fuel cell or hybrid vehicle.
Other than the hydrogen tank in the SUT cargo area and a few extra switches on the dash, it looks totally stock including under the hood.

6.2L with DOD & a 6 speed tranny is where it's at.

not much room left.
I don't own a SUT but it'd be nice if Hummer publicly offered the slant back.

This is funny as hell!!
I just ordered 3 of them, 1 for each front side and 1 for the back.
Now I'll tell people that I get 30/22 vs the 13.6/11!!!
GREAT POST!!!
Thanks for the idea!

Yep, yep, and yep.
Throw in a 500 pound diet and you'd really have something. Put up an EPA spec to put something concrete in the mileage department and it would go a ways towards moving the H2 out of the spotlight as poster child for wanton gas use... which wouldn't hurt the vehicle in the long haul.
Diesel with DOD (if that's possible) would be even better. Put an extra layer of sound insulation on the firewall & call it a day.

With 5spd,dod, 6.2, I bet an h2 wil get 14/17. They could also ditch the full time 4WD for a 2wd/4wd hi/lo t-case....with a 4:1 low gear!
I was trying to think where they could save 500 lbs....maybe the bumpers and tire carrier redesigned, tailgate seems too heavy on SUT, more fiberglass body panels,thinner glass,.... uhh that's going to be tough w/o pussifying the drive train.
Is the 6.2 lighter than the 6.0?

Yeah, to be honest i don't know how to take 500 lbs off, either. Shorten it an inch or two (does ANYBODY have too little headroom in that thing? i'm 6'1 and there must be miles above my head in my normal driving position).
Its an expensive truck and expensive to drive, and then people throw 10's of thousands at it aftermarket often, so i think that most H2 drivers would pay whatever for the thing, or at least quite a bit more. Cost is its own reward with respect to image, anyway. So maybe they could break out some aluminum.
The thick window glass could maybe be replaced with laminated glass & keep a similar level of sound isolation, but otherwise i'd rather keep my thick glass. :D
i get about 13-14/12-16, average for city/highway about 14.5 overall, offroading excluded. I've wondered if they've snuck some improvements into the thing over the years w/o telling anybody.
And aerodynamics! I'm not saying make it look like an EScalade, but they could make a pretty sizeable reduction in drag while keeping it hummerish, i think.
I think they could find a way to sneak a 20mph EPA highway figure in there. Maybe 14/20 or 14/18 or 15/18 or whatever. In line with other large vehicles, which would go a long way towards mitigating the hummer-as-focal-point-of-the-mileage-wars.
2wd as an option is a good idea, too, i think.

Very NICE:D :D :D
Since the H2 is a Tahoe, why doesn't GM just put that body on our trucks and rebadge it to "H2"? Just like GM does all their other vehicles....
