Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

I haven't reset my lie-o-meter since June and it's reading 10.9 mpg, and I do a mix of about 65% urban 35% highway. I go through about 1500 gallons a year and enjoy every minute of it.

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

So 1500 gallons..average 3.50 a gallon....so averaging 450 bucks a month on gas...currently i spend abut 350 on gas on my SRT8...my question is ...is the H2 your daily driver?how many miles a week do you drive you think?

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

srt8? u mean a neon? :shhh:


sorry running joke with me and a friend how no one will ever admit to driving a neon. its always and srt8

best bet would be to keep the neon for a dd and drive the h2 when ever u wanted to. unless the money doesnt bother you. for me it will take a lot of gas to add up to another car payment

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

You are mistaking the srt4 for the srt8, the srt8 is not a neon but is the v8 425 horsepower version in the chrysler 300, charger, cherokee, etc etc

Re: Gas Mileage Question

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

Buying fuel is no joke for most of us but I dont consider fueling the Hummers much at all since my boats fuel tank takes 150 GALLONS TO FILL IT UP .:crying:

FWIW my supercharged one has the diffs regeared with 38 inch tires and I dont see much difference over stock in economy since the mod. I dont try to give full acceleration unless I really need it so the numbers are about the same.

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

H2's are not that great on gas, everyone agrees. But just do the math and figure it out. Lets use a round number like $3.00 per gallon of gas. I think your mentioned you get about 16MPG in your car. So.....
Example: 10,000 miles per year.
H2 @ 12 MPG @ $3.00 = $2,499
Your car @ 16MPG @ $3.00 =$1875
Difference of $624.00
Can you affored the extra $624 per year ? or $52 a month?or $13 a week? or $1.85 a day?
Stop buying that cup of coffee in the morning on the way to work and you'll love your H2.

Long story short....My 05 H2 lease came up and I turned it in for a Trail Blazer SS.Gas was $3.99 around here and said I didnt need to be paying for high gas anymore. So.....after owning my Trail Blazer SS ( whch got 15-16MPG) for 3 months I turned it in for a used 06 H2 LE. I just couldnt live with out one. End of story!

Getting 11.5 per the DIC and thats pretty much around town driving. I am not light on the gas pedal either. Like Intercooled said, do the math. There are plenty of other trucks etc that get worse mileage then the H2 but nothing compared to the H2.

I've been laughing at this post, and just had to chime in! Let's see, if he drives a Prius, he could save 300% on his gas bill to drive to work. At 50 miles a week, that would add up to $10.50 a week at $3.00 a gallon. If it ever goes to the point where I have to worry about $10.00, PLEASE SHOOT ME !!!!!!!!!!
