I don't get why the Hummer is such a lightening rod for the tree huggers other than they have no idea about the mileage on other rigs. I get 12 mpg in my H2 but the Yukon gets 8 mpg. It is a 4x4 and does have the monster engine. I like the tow rating at 12,000 lbs and I bought it so I could pull more the the H2 can pull but the mileage is brutal comparitively speaking. Is 8 about the going rate for the 496 cu in engine? That is around town, haven't had it on the freeway yet.

That sucks and it's about right. That's the 2500 HD so it's also pretty darned heavy.
